The copy of a document which cost Gu Shenwei 100 taels of silver turned out to be of little value. The worker of the Document Library had tricked him. The moment he gave the copy to Slave Huan, the assassination mission would shortly be announced. Given that, Gu Shenwei only knew the details about the mission several hours earlier than the 20 chosen apprentices.
To maintain secrecy, that night, all of the 20 apprentices were taken to a secret location outside the fort, where they would receive special training. Because of this, Gu Shenwei did not get a chance to discuss his concerns with Maid Lotus or his other friends.
He still had some negative feelings about this mission and thought of many reasons to prove that his fears were reasonable. After a while, he felt that he could not bear his nervousness anymore and decided to ask his mentor for advice again.
