A short time before the gunshots, just moments ago, Gu Ziye had come to the edge of the reservoir. She squatted down to wash her hands and play in the water.
Gu Gaoxu stood right beside her.
In the water, a dark shadow was silently approaching Gu Ziye.
Gu Ziye was, after all, just a young girl who had never left the Imperial Capital. Naturally, she was oblivious to the danger.
Her two Personal Guards, however, were experienced. They spotted the disturbance in the water at almost the same time, drew their Treasure Swords, and slashed at the water's surface in front of Gu Ziye.
Two streams of Sword Qi shot into the water, kicking up a splash.
Gu Gaoxu watched this scene unfold before him, all in the blink of an eye.
Gu Gaoxu had never seen Gu Ziye's Personal Guards in action before.
These two Personal Guards were just as skilled in Martial Arts as Gu Ziye had claimed, capable of even unleashing Sword Qi.
