Gu Xiaoshun sat up quickly.
He moved very fast but without a sound.
He gave Gu Yan a look, indicating that he would go check and that Gu Yan should wait there.
In fact, Gu Xiaoshun was a year younger than Gu Yan, but because Gu Yan was always the sickly one, Gu Xiaoshun had become accustomed to protecting him.
Gu Yan shook his head, signaling him not to check but to wake up their master and mistress instead.
Okay.
Gu Xiaoshun replied in his heart, and without even putting on shoes, he went barefoot to the room of Mistress Nan and Master Lu.
As he passed through the main room, he distinctly heard the sound of someone trying to pry open the door. However, the door latch modified by Master Lu, the top craftsman in Zhan Country, wasn't so easily breached.
Of course, there was still the possibility that they would get frustrated and use brute force to kick the door open.
Gu Xiaoshun needed to hurry.
He shook Mistress Nan awake.
