Chapter 1695 Monsters Again 2
“No need. Let’s go and check outside first.” Gu Chaoyan had no mind for breakfast right now. She hurried away.
Sword One had no choice but to let someone else pack up the food box for later use. Sword One would have insisted that her Elder Miss eat breakfast first before going anywhere else, but the monsters’ invasion had stopped Sword One from saying anything else. Elder Miss knew what she should prioritize.
They went out of the mansion and passed through the quiet alleyway. Gu Chaoyan did not hear any chaos from outside.
Lifting the curtain and looking out, she saw almost no one wandering on the street. It must be the monsters’ invasion that stopped the civilians from coming out of their home.
The same thing happened a while ago, but the Shadow Door suppressed the situation, so the civilians managed to live peacefully for a while, but now this happened again.
This was happening in the capital, so Gu Chaoyan could not imagine what had happened to the civilians in other towns.
News spread that monsters had raided many villagers living at the feet of the mountains. She wondered how they were doing at the moment.
Gu Chaoyan fell into deep contemplation.
She did not see anyone until she reached the gate. There was a patch of blood, a mixture of monsters and the hidden guards’ from the Shadow Door. Gu Chaoyan looked forward and saw people from the Shadow Door were busy dealing with the situation. Guards from the court stood right above the gate, as if nothing were happening here.
“How ridiculous. The court needs to keep the civilians safe, but right now, the court is like a joke. It shouldn’t exist!” Gu Chaoyan said, furiously.
Sword One did not counter Elder Miss’ words, since they were totally reasonable.
Today… many civilians from the capital were injured. So were many hidden guards from the Shadow Door. If not for the court, nothing like this would have happened.
Gu Chaoyan hopped off the wagon and went to check on every wounded person. After the examination, she felt slightly better – they had no serious injuries apart from some surface scratches, which should heal after careful treatment. That was the best result.
Gu Chaoyan saw Zhou Huaijin not faraway.
He was still dressed in the black robe of the Head of the Shadow Door. Wearing the silver, exquisite mask, he was not recognizable, except for Gu Chaoyan, who spotted him at first glance.
Zhou Huaijin saw her too and approached her.
Zhou Huaijin picked up her hands as he approached her, holding it in his. “Have you eaten breakfast?”
Gu Chaoyan glared at him – they were in a mess, and he was still asking her if she had eaten breakfast? She asked straightforwardly, “How is it?”
“Some low-class monsters. The Imperial Tombs isn’t deep, so when the door to enchantment opened, monsters flooded in. Those monsters must be thinking that nothing is interesting in the Imperial Tombs, so they come downhill. Guards from the Shadow Door were injured, but the monsters were brought down after all.”
“…”
“However, I am not sure what the future will be like,” Zhou Huaijin said, emotionally.
Those low-class monsters already hurt people. If the high-class ones appeared, even the Shadow Door would not be able to defeat them. The Saint Divine Land was a vast land, and it had many people who needed protection.
“Chaoyan, I am not waiting any more,” Zhou Huaijin said earnestly.
