Chapter 971: Over the Line
“You have crossed the line and forgotten who you really are.”
“…”
“I remember that when I got engaged with Chaoyan, I told you at Shadow Door that Chaoyan has full access to Shadow Door unconditionally. I can see that you have forgotten everything I have said. She can’t be allowed to enter the Shadow Door? Then what is the point of keeping Shadow Door?” Zhou Huaijin looked expressionless, while scolding her.
Feng Yue just could not believe what she heard. Her pupils broadened, as she looked at Zhou Huaijin in astonishment.
What was the point of keeping Shadow Door? Feng Yue kept thinking about this sentence. What was the point?
So if Gu Chaoyan did not have access to Shadow Door, then there was no point in keeping it?
What did Lord Huai think of those who were working here?
Feng Yue just could not accept what she heard. She could not believe that Lord Huai would think in this way!
She had always thought that Lord Huai and they belonged to the same team, but inside Lord Huai’s heart, the Shadow Door was not as important as Gu Chaoyan?
Then what were they, after all?
…
Feng Yue turned pale, and looked terrified as if she had been seriously stricken.
Zhou Huaijin was very displeased by what Feng Yue said and did – but Feng Yue was just one of the many hidden guards he trained at Shadow Door, and he would not make an effort to study how terrible she looked.
Instead, he just said coldly, “Go and get your punishment at Shadow Door, and your t.i.tles are removed for the moment. If you make another mistake next time, I will have to fire you.”
Having said this, he turned around without showing any emotions. Then he started to head towards Gu Chaoyan.
He had not planned to take Gu Chaoyan’s hands, but at this moment, he did. How Feng Yue reacted might have hurt Chaoyan in some way, and Zhou Huaijin would have fired Feng Yue, if not for the achievements she had done for Shadow Door.
...
He was about to walk inside with Gu Chaoyan…
Mo Bing subconsciously was about to stop them before he just left it.
Mo Bing and Feng Yue spent most of their time together. They mostly thought the same… That was why he subconsciously tried to stop Gu Chaoyan. Yet he knew clearly that Lord Huai was the head of Shadow Door and should have the say about everything.
It was their own issue if they had a problem against Lord Huai’s decision, but they should never exceed him.
Mo Bing watched Lord Huai and Gu Chaoyan leaving as he threw a look at Feng Yue, who had a terrible look on her face as if something horrible had happened.
He thought for a while, then he asked the other hidden guards to watch the gate…
Then he went to Feng Yue who had become horribly pale.
“What is it?” Mo Bing asked, without showing any changes on his face.
“What is Lord Huai doing? He is leaving us for the sake of one woman! He says that there is no point in keeping Shadow Door if Gu Chaoyan can not have access to it! What is he thinking?” Feng Yue smiled ironically, looking very disappointed.
Mo Bing frowned.
“Feng Yue, you have made a mistake, not Lord Huai.” Mo Bing reminded her.
Feng Yue looked even more surprised. She kept shaking her head. “My mistake? What mistake have I made?”
