Zou Hai closed the door behind him.
Alone, sitting cross-legged on the loft bed, Gu Shen fell into deep thought.
"Strange noises?"
He shook his head, didn't think much of it, and immersed himself in cultivation.
...
...
The patrol sentinels of Gu Castle Fortress walked beneath the giant wall.
The night wind was grim.
When the two sentinels reached the area near the loft, a glimmer of light flashed around the corner.
"Mr. Deputy."
The two sentinels stood at attention and saluted.
"Hmm."
Having just left Gu Shen's loft, Zou Hai nodded, and issued a soft command, "The area ahead is where Mr. Xiao Gu is resting tonight, you will focus your patrol here... If you notice anything unusual, notify me immediately."
"Unusual..."
Glancing at each other, the two patrolmen wore a knowing expression.
They understood all too well the implications of that word.
