This Is What Men Are Like

"Sister Shangguan, why aren't you with Zhong Wen?" Lin Zhiyun was surprised to see Shangguan Junyi alone in the courtyard.

"Palace Master, didn't Zhong Wen go to your place?" Shangguan Junyi widened her eyes as she spoke to Lin Zhiyun.

"I haven't seen him all afternoon," Lin Zhiyun replied, looking bewildered.

The two women stared at each other in shock and then exclaimed simultaneously, "This is bad!"

The two elite experts had agreed to take turns protecting Zhong Wen, but they accidentally lost him.

"He might have gone to confront that assassin on his own," speculated Nangong Ling, "With elite experts by his side, the assassin wouldn't easily reveal themselves. He probably thought that by being alone, he might provoke the assassin to act."

"This fool, what is he thinking? Does he think elite experts are so easily dealt with?" Shangguan Junyi expressed her anxiety.

"Zhong Wen is not a reckless person. How could he make such a low-level mistake?" Lin Zhiyun was puzzled.
