<h4>Chapter 127: What?</h4>


    “Do you think that you still have a chance?” Zhou Huaijin asked calmly.


    Rong Chuxuan looked shocked as he threw a nce at his own master. Whenever his master spoke with this tone, it must have been because of a huge mistake, but...


    However, all that he had done was to fail to notice Miss. Gu getting jailed. Also, Miss. Gu was doing fine now, just slightly injured.


    He made the mistake because of what happened at Shadow Door.


    Rong Chuxuan was confused, thinking that he could stop thinking about Miss. Gu. “Lord, let me stay by your side instead. I am not handy with Miss. Gu. I am the hidden guard of Shadow Door!”


    Zhou Huaijinughed out of fury. “Do you think that you still have a chance?”


    In his opinion, it had been because of the smooth life of Lord Huai’s Mansion and Shadow Door that his employees got so proud as to be careless at work.


    They did not think that his order was of importance. Nor did they have the intention of sticking to it.


    Rong Chuxuan looked at his own master with a confused expression on the face. What was he talking about? Was he going to be fired because of a woman?


    Impossible!


    Rong Chuxuan was about to counter, when the next second Zhou Huaijin said, “Anyone who disobeys me shall get fiftyshes with a staff. If you get through theshes, you are allowed to get back to Shadow Door. Luo Fan will get you some small errands to do.”


    What!


    Rong Chuxuan got so shocked when he heard the news.


    Fiftyshes with a staff and small errands for the future? Did he mean... Did he mean that he was no longer a highly-ranked employee?


    Theshes would be a small matter. What Rong Chuxuan could not stand was that he was only allowed to deal with small errands, just like those newbies!


    “Why! Why are you treating me like this, Master, for the sake of a woman! Nothing serious has happened to her!” Rong Chuxuan said, feeling unconvinced.


    Zhou Huaijin threw a cold look at him. “A woman? She overpowers the whole Shadow Door! Who do you think you are!”


    He waved his hands.


    The other hidden guards took hold of Rong Chuxuan.


    Rong Chuxuan looked at his own master with disbelief.


    On the other side a silhouette hurried off as he saw the scene.


    —


    Gu Chaoyan did not feel like sleeping as sheid down. She nned to study her changed consciousness, so she asked Qing to guard the door whilst she watched the dry well with her consciousness.


    Something changed inside the dry well.


    Some clear water leaked out of the dry well, and the withered woods started to turn green on the four walls of the well.


    Gu Chaoyan was startled at the sight of the withered woods.


    Those were not simple withered woods, but some expensive and rare herbs. They were well grown with just a small amount. When Gu Chaoyan took a closer look at it, she got slightly tired. And at this point the sound of knocking on her door arose from outside.


    Gu Chaoyan stopped her exploration. “What is it?”


    “Miss, are you asleep? It is a guard from Lord Huai. He is asking for you about some urgent matter.” Qing said. She would not have allowed anyone to disturb her miss’s sleep if it had been someone else, but it was Lord Huai’s private guard and she was worried that they needed something urgent. So she knocked at the door.


    Asking for her?


    Gu Chaoyan got up. She was not sleeping, so her clothes were still neat. She just did some simple adjustment and walked out.


    As she saw the man, Gu Chaoyan had a brief impression of him.


    She had met him back at the Huo Family. He, together with Rong Chuxuan, were both the guards next to Zhou Huaijin.


    “You are asking for me? What is it?”
