The guards at the doorstep were not behaving as fiercely as before. They said with a shivering voice at the sight of Gu Chaoyan, "Elder Miss, it is the Old Master's order that we should stop you. We have to pass on the message of your return before you are allowed to enter the yard."
They spoke flatteringly as they gazed upon Gu Chaoyan.
Instead of showing much emotion, Gu Chaoyan nodded. "Then just go and pass on the message."
The guards let out a sigh of relief, as one of them walked into the room.
Gu Chaoyan and Sword One were waiting outside at the doorstep.
The two guards did not even dare to look into Gu Chaoyan's eyes. They felt that Elder Miss had changed. She seemed very intimidating even if she was staying silent.
The guards were shivering for a long while. They all let out a sigh of relief, as the message that Gu Chaoyan should enter was delivered and they saw her leave.
