Chilliness

Gu Shenwei kept silent, as he could not allow his emotions to affect his decisions, not when Maid Lotus was beside him. Shangguang Ru was an excellent example: The servants would not hestitate to bite back once the master became weak.

Maid Lotus was not his servant, but it was mostly due to his calm and heartless characteristics of a killer that made her willing to follow him. He could not lose these.

What an ordinary farewell it was, it was as if they would meet again the next morning. Shangguan Ru felt as if she had much that she wanted to say, but it seemed too simple to even mention it once she tried to put it into words. She merely did not want him to die. Just like that time when they were surrounded in the house; in order to protect the people around her, she would even put a knife against her neck. That was all.
