“Creak!”



With the sound of the door opening, the seven assistants outside the door looked at the door in unison.

When Lou Ming pulled open the door, he was confronted by seven pairs of gazes filled with intensity and as if their eyes would shine like laser beams..

“Third Young Master!” The seven iron-blooded men looked at Lou Ming with bloodshot eyes and excitement, scaring Lou Ming into taking a step back.

Alarmed for a moment, Lou Ming subconsciously looked behind him. When he saw that Chen Yu was still asleep and wasn’t roused, he heaved a sigh of relief.  Then he quickly walked out of the room and smoothly closed the door.

“Keep your voices down,” Lou Ming frowned and commanded.



The seven assistants immediately quieted down.

Lou Ming looked at the people who were crowded together at the door early in the morning and suddenly remembered something. He squinted at the seven assistants in front of him and asked, “You…have you all been staying up here since last night?”

The assistants nodded.

Lou Ming’s face drastically turned ugly again: “Did any of you enter?”

Relying on the crisis awareness the assistants accumulated from life and death lines, they shook their heads in unison.

Only then did Lou Ming relax. He grunted before he turned around and walked downstairs, with the gazes of his assistants filled with guilt glued on his back.



Seeing that Lou Ming was awake, the assistants were in the best spirits. Knowing that their Third Young Master was alright, they all left the small building and went back to their dormitory, leaving only He Qi behind, the assistant on duty for the day.

Lou Ming sat on the sofa in the living room, looked up and asked, “Who did you notify about the incident last night?”

“We notified Master Mao. Master Mao is currently out of town, so he should be arriving in the morning,” He Qi answered. He looked at his watch and said, “He should be here soon.”

“Only Master Mao?” Lou Ming asked.

“Miss Chen Yu said she has a way to cure you, so we…we chose not to notify the Minister,” He Qi replied.

A hint of surprise appeared on Lou Ming’s expression. He was obviously surprised that He Qi did not notify his father at the first opportunity after he fell unconscious: “Why?”



“I’ve been your assistant for so many years, yet you’ve never made any special requests to us, nor even given us specific orders,” He Qi laughed bitterly, “It was only anything in regards to Miss Chen Yu that you 一一 this was the only time you made demands of us.”

“Young Master, no matter who arranged for us to come here, all of us are here as your assistants. As long as your life isn’t threatened, we will put your orders first,” He Qi solemnly added on with his response. 

Lou Ming obviously did not expect to hear such words. After a moment of silence, Lou Ming could not help but express his thanks, “Thank you!”

“This is our duty,” He Qi finished and gave a standard military salute to Lou Ming.

Just then,a sudden commotion erupted at the door. They turned their heads and saw Master Mao in Daoist robes barging into the living room. While running, he shouted, “Where’s Lou Ming? How’s Lou Ming now?”



“Master Mao.” The moment Lou Ming saw Master Mao, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

“Lou Ming!!!” Master Mao’s shocked pair of squinting eyes bulged into round and large eyes: “You…Aren’t you supposed to be hibernating?”

“I just woke up from a nap,” Lou Ming replied with some amusement.

“…”

After knowing that it was a false alarm, Master Mao, whose heart was torn with anxiety all night, sat in the living room together with Lou Ming and had a conversation about the situation last night.

“What happened last night?” Master Mao remarked, “You never leave the small building around the winter solstice.”
