章節 373: Drew out Her Sword

As a well-trained killer, Maid Lotus should have approached secretly and struck quietly, so Shangguan Ru was somewhat surprised at her uncharacteristically public appearance.

She had already noticed someone approaching them while Old Man Mu was still dreaming. But she emerged from her tent holding a lightweight wooden saber only after Old Man Mu let out a scream.

The ex-master and servant faced each other in silence.

"Tenth Young Master." Maid Lotus spoke first. For a moment, there was no killing intent within her. She was as courteous and polite as before, and her sword lowered a few inches as well.

"Maid Lotus." Shangguan Ru bowed her head to return the courtesy, no longer regarding her as her subordinate.

"I think I owe you an explanation."
