Return to South City

Wildhorse's story made Gu Shenwei realize that truth was illusory and people just believed what they wished to believe.

In the meantime, he also had a suspicion that Wildhorse might have just made up a story to cheer Shangguan Ru up. "That mute teenager is a natural born killer and has a strong desire for blood. He wants a capable leader, so he can't stand by watching Master Ru slide into a depression," Gu Shenwei thought to himself.

Although Shangguan Ru lived in North City now, her killers still worked on a shift basis to keep watch at night. One night, Gu Shenwei was on the first shift. He wore a black cape and hid himself in a tree in the middle of the yard. When seen from a distance, he looked like a bulge in the trunk or an empty nest in the tree.
