บท 97: The Rescue

When he entered the house, Gu Shenwei felt that something was wrong. When he did not find any signs of living people both upstairs and downstairs, he was panicking as he rapidly searched the whole place again.

The Xu siblings had escaped, and all of the valuable items were taken away. There was only the saber which he had used before and it was placed on the extinguished stove.

Gu Shenwei sat down in disppointment, wondering where the sister and brother could have escaped to. They would be easily discovered in the city and there were either high mountains or the Gobi desert around the city. In this season, leaving the city would be suicidal, and the nearest populated place was several days' walk away.

Then he realized that he was wrong again. The one in the cape was not a sentry of the Golden Roc Fort.
