Sword One was trained to grow up at Shadow Door, yet Shanhu, who might seem very ordinary, could still be very handy under such a circumstance.

Elder Miss was also planning to recruit her staff, so Sword One believed that the more, the better, and talents like Shanhu should be helpful too.

If he could be recruited to do the work and receive some training, he could be very useful.

Elder Miss was also trying to recruit proper staff through Xiao Jin, but most of them were just people without competence, so it took a while before they became capable enough.

Shanhu was different.

However, that was just something Sword One asked, usually she should not have asked about it. She had only mentioned it because Elder Miss had not spoken of it, and she was worried that she had forgotten. So she gave her a reminder, and it was up to Elder Miss what she was going to decide.

When Gu Chaoyan heard what she said, she also felt that it was sad that Shanhu was like this.

Gu Chaoyan did spot Shanhu’s abilities the moment he arrived at Xinlin Clinic, and she could tell that Shanhu was very suitable to be kept.

She had thought that when Shanhu recovered, she could turn to him about this, but she had changed her mind a while ago.

She thought that she should just drop this idea, but now Sword One mentioned that she could share her opinions with her.

She said pitifully, “Shanhu is a very capable man, and it would be a good thing if he could work for us. Before today, I had indeed thought about hiring him.”

“…”

“But I changed my mind.”

“…”

“It is not as strict to work for me as it is for Shadow Door, but it is also dangerous and restricted. People like Xiao Jin, Shen Tai and Xiu Jie are all carefree. They are very suitable to work for me, but Shanhu is too clingy to his family and can’t leave his grandma.”

“…”

“So it is not so good for me to use him.”

“…”

“For his family, it is not good for him to work for me. For myself, it is not a good thing since he can’t work in full devotion.”

“…”

“So I have to drop it, unfortunately. Shanhu is a very smart guy and he will have a good life. At least he can live peacefully and take care of his family, so we will leave him alone,” Gu Chaoyan said.

Sword One looked deep into Elder Miss’ eyes and nodded, knowing what her Elder Miss was thinking.

She also believed that it was the best arrangement so far.

People like them should not be too attached to anything. That was the requirement Shadow Door had for them.

Sword One felt that it was a very strict rule, but after what happened with Feng Yue, she realized that this restriction was good for them.

They were not ordinary people. And only in this way, would they be able to keep themselves safe.

The wagon continued to head towards the capital, throwing dust all over the road behind them.

***

In the Saint Divine Land.

At the palace.

The King had just left the morning session, when he heard about Prime Minister Chu’s return. He heard that the culprit was trapped in the jail at the moment.

So he hurried there without even taking a break.
