Chương 317: Shoot!

After the guards left and emptied the training ground, only Xiaowei and Gu Lan were left in the vast space filled with training equipment. Gu Lan, who watched the guards leave the area, glanced back at the woman who was still hiding behind him, cleared his throat with a cough, and said, "Everyone left. You can relax now."

Xiaowei, nervously clutching onto her skirt and with her head lowered from embarrassment, sighed in relief. She raised her head, stepped aside from Gu Lan's shadow, and stood in front of him to face him.

After everyone left, a sudden awkward silence settled between the two. Xiaowei pursed her lips and awkwardly stared at Gu Lan. She wanted to thank him for supporting her earlier; however, expressing gratitude for his words seemed unnecessary as it was his subordinates who were making fun of her and him, after all.
