All I can say is that these men in black were really too weak; they were all dead in no time.

"Your disciples dare not take credit. All of this is thanks to the excellent teaching of Master and Mistress. If it weren't for your effective guidance, your disciples would not be where they are today," the disciples said obediently and sensibly.

They were all so well-behaved and sensible, which made Gu Changqing feel quite gratified.

"I am deeply grateful to you all for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in grave danger and beheaded. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best to assist you," the woman in purple said, expressing her endless gratitude.

"Elder sister, there's no need to thank us. This was all Master and Mistress's idea. We wouldn't have dared to act on our own if they hadn't given us permission."

A very sensible apprentice said that he would give the benefits to Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng.

"Please don't be so polite, young lady. What happened today was just a coincidence. You are truly blessed with good fortune and a long life ahead of you," Jiang Qingcheng said with a faint smile.

"I don't think I need your help. If you have anything good, feel free to give it to me as a way of repaying you," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

“Young Master Gu, I am unworthy and have nothing of value to offer you. If you do not mind, I would be willing to give you this sea of ​​flowers,” the woman in purple said with a smile.

"Not at all, not at all. This is wonderful. This gift is excellent. I like it very much. I will accept it on their behalf." Gu Changqing said with a smile, quite satisfied.

"That's good, then I'm relieved. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't linger here any longer, lest I waste too much time and things go wrong," the woman in purple said somewhat anxiously.

"May I ask if there's anything else, young lady? Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile and some curiosity.

"This..." the woman in purple said, somewhat unsure of what to do.

"Perhaps the young lady has some unspeakable difficulty that she is reluctant to discuss? In that case, I will not force you to do so." Gu Changqing said this when he saw that the woman in purple was hesitant and embarrassed.

"Young master, you misunderstand. It's not that Ziyi is unwilling to speak, but Ziyi is afraid that speaking out will implicate you. You have already helped Ziyi through a difficult time today, and Ziyi is too embarrassed to ask for your help again," Ziyi said earnestly.

"What is it, Miss Purple? Just tell me. There's nothing I, Gu, can't do," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

“Yes, just tell us already, don’t make us guess. My husband is very capable, he can definitely help you solve your problem if he tells us,” Jiang Qingcheng added.

"Alright." Zi Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to speak.

"You all saw me being chased today. I offended the city lord and have nowhere to stand here anymore. I didn't want to go back, but I have to go back to the city because my sister is still there. The city is definitely heavily guarded now. If you get involved with me, it might be bad for you." The woman in purple explained the whole story in detail.

"You have a younger sister, why didn't you take her with you when you escaped this time?" Bai Xue asked, puzzled.

"You talk too much," Gu Changqing said, rolling his eyes at Bai Xue.

"There's a reason why Ziyi didn't bring her. My sister is still young, about the same age as Young Master Gu's apprentice. I'm already struggling to take care of myself, and bringing her along would make it even harder to escape. Another reason is that I'm afraid those people might get angry and try to harm my sister, or even kill her. Wouldn't I be indirectly harming her? My parents died of illness years ago, and my sister and I depend on each other for survival. She's our only family. If something happens to her, how can I face our deceased parents?" Ziyi laid out all her concerns without hiding anything.

“Now, I’ve settled my sister in an abandoned old house in our hometown. I believe she’s safe. The city lord’s men shouldn’t be able to find her. I’ll go into the city now, take her out of the city, and let her start a new life away from here.” Before anyone else could speak, Zi Yi continued.

Gu Changqing and his group were quite surprised to hear this, as they had not expected the girl in purple to have such a tragic background.

Gu Changqing's apprentices, in particular, felt a deep sense of empathy after hearing this. Although they had different experiences, their fates were the same, suffering greatly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Purple, I've always been outspoken, it wasn't intentional. Please don't mind, I will definitely help you," Bai Xue apologized immediately, saying apologetically.

"It's alright, young lady, you don't need to worry about it. I've already forgotten about it," the woman in purple said with a slight smile.

"I have already understood the whole story. Considering that Miss Purple sent the sea of ​​flowers, I will not stand idly by. Miss Purple, please rest assured, with us here, you and your sister will be fine." Gu Changqing said calmly, giving his assurance.

"Let's get going without delay," Sisi suggested.

“Wait a minute, my husband, won’t it attract attention if so many of us go? That might actually hinder Miss Purple’s plans?” Just then, Jiang Qingcheng suddenly voiced her opinion.

In fact, Jiang Qingcheng's concerns were not unfounded. Having more people can be advantageous, but it can also be disadvantageous. In this matter, having more people seems inappropriate.

"Qingcheng, we don't need to worry about this at all. It might be disadvantageous to others, but it doesn't matter to us. As long as we are strong enough, nothing is a problem," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, without any concern.

“That’s true. My husband is so capable, how could he possibly take them seriously? It seems I was worrying too much,” Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Well, if there are no other questions, let's set off now," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

Everyone shook their heads, without question.

Without a word, Gu Changqing and the others left the sea of ​​flowers in a flash, heading towards the direction of Ziyi's hometown.

--------------------

Before long, Gu Changqing and his group arrived at the city gate.

There were many guards at the city gate, who were checking every person passing by very carefully.

"Young Master Gu, what should we do? The checks are so strict, how are we supposed to get in?" Zi Yi said anxiously.

"Miss in purple, don't worry, we'll just go in openly," Gu Changqing said calmly.

After speaking, Gu Changqing walked straight over, his disciples followed closely behind, while Jiang Qingcheng and the other three women walked at the very back.
