Gu Shenwei had been tailing Blademaster Xiang Kai for three days in a row, and every time he mingled with the crowd or crouched on a roof, he would somehow think of his previous partner.
Chu Nanping, his present partner, was a good swordsman. Gu Shenwei had taught him the first five chapters of Wayless Book and some sword skills from Death Scripture to help him improve his kung fu. Now, Chu Nanping was a good servant and guard, but he was still not a killer. Gu Shenwei felt that the boy had no tacit understanding with him when they were required to make on-the-spot decisions.
"Maybe it's not Chu Nanping's fault but mine. Now that I'm unable to fully trust anyone, I shouldn't expect others to trust me completely," thought Gu Shenwei.
In the next moment, he banished those unwanted thoughts and focused on the current task. He and Chu Nanping would assassinate Blademaster Xiang Kai today.
