The Dream

Gu Shenwei picked a leaf and chewed it. The bitter taste kept him from weariness.

The sun rose high. Surrounded by chirping hypnotic and tiresome whoosh, Gu Shenwei felt at a loss, just as what he felt before every action in the past. His being suspicious always led him to an extreme that he thought his plans were lame and impossible to work out.

But there was no turning back. Gu Shenwei even felt his hunger was submerged by the tension in his abdomen.

This was what he had to do. Without Shangguan Ru, he could never return to Golden Roc Fort. Thus his chance for revenge would be even slimmer. What's more, Maid Lotus, his principal ally, was one of the abducted people.

Shortly after noon, the people Gu Shenwei had been waiting for finally came, though very late.

They were three women in red robes instead of black and five captives, who were under those women's control. From far, Gu Shenwei saw them riding on horses.
