Once Slave Xin opened the door, Gu Shenwei woke up.

Slave Xin felt that he had gained Slave Huan's understanding and he wouldn't be disturbed by "evil spirits". He had recovered as his complexion improved, though he seemed flustered this time. He said, "Bad news. Bad news."

Gu Shenwei sat up awkwardly while holding onto his sword shaft.

"Heart... Heart Cleansing Yard has surrounded... surrounded us", Slave Xin said. He was hardly able to handle such a crisis, and his body was trembling like a sieve. When he finally calmed down, Slave Huan had disappeared.

Slave Xin's description was exaggerated. There were ten torturers from Heart Cleansing Yard, who were wearing yellow belts, standing politely at the door of the courtyard. They requested to meet Yang Huan and Maid Lotus was dealing with them.
