It turned out to be a false alarm for Gu Shenwei. Shangguan Fei had become clever and had not exposed Slave Huan. His gaze flitted away from Slave Huan and said, "Your killers have ulterior motives. That Tuo Nengya wanted to kill me."
Shangguan Ru remained as still as a statue, looking dejected as though she had not heard what her brother had said.
Shangguan Fei stopped talking and pricked up his ears to listen. The fight outside had ended very quickly. Suddenly, the door swung open revealing a young killer kneeling on one leg at the doorstep. He said, "Ninth Young Master, we have killed sixteen people but seven ran away. We are in pursuit."
There was a small flaw in this tremendous victory. Shangguan Fei's face sank and he unsheathed his saber. He asked, "Where is Tuo Nengya?"
"He... He escaped."
