Gu Yun said coldly, "I was entrusted by the former emperor to bring you back from Yanhui Town and take care of you until adulthood. Even if you will not become a pillar of the world, I had at least hoped for you to be a person with good personality, noble and righteous. Yet what have you done?”

In the early summer night, Chang Geng suddenly felt an unprecedented cold.

"I took care of you until you grew up according to the wishes of my ancestor, but I did not realize that it was a Zhongshan* wolf that I had raised." Gu Yun sighed, "It has been two hundred years since the founding of Great Liang by Emperor Tai Zu. I thought it could last for thousands of generations. Who knew that the Jade Seal of the Nation was destroyed in our generation..."

*this term is used to refer to someone who betrayed those that had aided them.

Chang Geng wanted to strongly grab him, or to cry out loudly. However, his whole body seemed to have been fixed in place, he could only look at Gu Yun as he lightly turned around and dropped a sentence: “This Gu will now go to the underworld to beg for forgiveness, there is no need for the two of us to see one another again.”

He then walked through the wall and disappeared into the void. The open window was empty. Chang Geng’s organs burned up, he woke up with a loud cry. His heart pounded like thunder. Slowly exhaling the accumulating breath inside, only then did he recover and realize that it was only a nightmare as vivid as reality.

He did not know whether it was because of the alcohol or something else, his head ached in waves, his limbs were exhausted, he was even more tired after a night's sleep.

After a moment, Chang Geng forced himself to calm down, he was planning to get up and drink some water, then close his eyes to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, just as he had lifted himself up, he suddenly saw a dark shadow on the wooden chair by the window. The visitor was breathing very softly, it was obvious the other was an expert, causing Chang Geng, due to the noise of his heartbeat, to be unable to notice it for a moment.

He instinctively shouted, "Who is it?"

The man laughed low and said, "What are you doing in my bed?"

Nothing was more frightening than this. Chang Geng had not fully awakened from his nightmare. His elbows instantly went soft, falling directly back to the bed. Gu Yun's old bed was hard everywhere from the board to the pillow, this collision was no small matter. The careful and calm Yan Wang was almost knocked unconscious by a pillow.

Gu Yun was shocked, quickly rushing to the bedside to help him up.
