"Bang!"
It was a loud noise, as if a meteor had descended from the sky.
A not-so-tall figure crashed through the roof and landed fiercely in front of Yan Nai’er. It was Elder Gao Yu, the second-in-command of the Senior Eunuch Gao and a senior court eunuch.
"Miss Yan Nai’er, run quickly. Leave this place to me," Gao Yu shouted loudly.
Yan Nai’er felt a moment of relief and surprise, then, with the sword in hand, she turned to face away from Elder Eunuch Gao Yu and said, "Elder Gao, I have never had the tradition of abandoning my comrades. If worse comes to worst, I’ll face death."
Despite being unable to see, Gao Yu could feel the valor of the girl behind him and he laughed heartily, "Good! Today, let us father and son take on these demons from the Demon Continent."
"Gao Yu?" Ashi Luo exclaimed in astonishment, "You, you’re the king’s personal eunuch, yet here you are, protecting the fiancée of a feudal lord. Aren’t you worried about losing face?"
Gao Yu said, "From the standpoint of affection, she is my disciple’s future bride. From the standpoint of status, she is my master’s adopted daughter, so naturally, I will do everything in my power to protect her. On the other hand, Ashi Luo, as the son of a feudal lord, you actually attack the adopted daughter of His Majesty. Are you trying to commit treason?"
Ashi Luo shrugged and said, "It’s a pity that the will of your king can’t make it out of the palace anymore. By the way, I have a question for you—apart from the two Elders Gao, are there any other martial experts in the royal palace? I’ve heard that there’s an old ancestor whose martial arts are peerless, yet never shows his face, being known as the shadow of the King. Is there any truth to this?"
