Mission 71

Giles appeared somewhat ashen and wore a grim expression, but he seemed to be uninjured.

Upon seeing Giles's expression, Gu Chaoyan deduced that there was no intruder. If there were any intruders, Gary and the others would have raised the alarm, alerting the entire clan to be on guard.

So, what could have caused Giles's distress?

"Giles, what's happened?" Gu Chaoyan asked, seeking to reassure him. "Stay calm when faced with a situation."

Giles also attempted to regain his composure.

Even when facing outsiders in confrontations, he could maintain remarkable composure.
