Sword One’s face turned pale. At this moment, her mind became messy and she had no idea what to do. She was a hidden guard from Shadow Door, and she should not have any emotions, but Sword One, who had been good at being removed from emotions, failed at this moment. She panicked when she saw that Elder Miss was gone. She could not even think rationally.

Prime Minister Chu was very frightened too.

Everyone was celebrating at this moment, because the metal beings were all under their control. Despite the casualties, they had achieved victory anyway.

However, Elder Miss was gone at this moment.

Prime Minister Chu became very anxious as well, but he was more rational.

He observed the spot and saw that there was no trace of fighting or blood. He felt slightly more assured, after noticing this point.

“Sword One, don’t worry, it may not be as terrible as you imagine. Look at this spot, Elder Miss might not have been injured.” Prime Minister Chu said as he turned to his men. “All of you, go to look for her in four different directions!”

At this moment, Sword One became slightly more rational.

She understood that she needed to find the girl first.

She put away her sword and was about to seek for her when Gu Chaoyan returned.

Sword One just could not believe it. She hurried to her and stared at Gu Chaoyan, before bursting into sobs. “Elder Miss, is that really you? Are you alright?”

“I am fine.” Gu Chaoyan answered, but she still looked exhausted. She threw the man to Sword One. “Seize him!”

She panted.

Just as she had predicted, this man, who controlled the metal beings, was here too. She was hiding in a dark corner and found this man. She tried to catch him, but he was cautious as well. Before Gu Chaoyan was able to touch him, he almost ran away.

However, Gu Chaoyan was not going to let this man go. She turned around to pursue him.

It took her some effort to get hold of this man.

It was more painstaking than she believed, but Gu Chaoyan did not dare to take any break, worrying that Sword One would get anxious that she was gone. So she came back hurriedly.

Now she was running out of energy, so she found a spot to sit down.

However, Sword One and Prime Minister Chu were very confused, the former of whom asked. “Elder Miss, who is this man?”

“The mastermind, of course,” Gu Chaoyan said helplessly.

Prime Minister Chu got frightened.

Gu Chaoyan explained. “I noticed this sneaky man. He doesn’t look like a guard or the villager, so I went up to check him out, but he felt so guilty that he wanted to run away.”

“…”

“However, he ended up in my hands.”

That man showed an even worse look on his face.

He was not sneaking around. This woman had planned to catch him! However, he could not speak at this moment.

“Someone, have him caged. He will be transported back to the capital tomorrow with those things!”

“No, that won’t work, Prime Minister Chu,” Gu Chaoyan said.
