Next, the two of them, one in front of the other, rode their flying swords and soared through the air.

Throughout the journey, Gu Changqing clearly didn't ask any questions, but Ning Xuerou took the initiative to explain the matter.

"Um, senior, do you want to know why I brought you out so late at night? It's all in this thing, you'll understand once you take a look."

As she spoke, Ning Xuerou handed over a communication talisman.

Gu Changqing took it in his hand and saw that it was a silver jade pendant, which was trembling slightly.

With a tremor, the jade talisman emitted a "hum" and emitted an image, which condensed into a light screen and began to play in front of one's eyes.

Looking out, Gu Changqing saw a stone house built in a vast mountain range on the light screen. To the left of the door was a spiritual field of about two or three acres, on which many spiritual herbs grew.

It looked as tranquil as a paradise, but at this moment, a man and a woman were facing off in front of the stone house, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The man was tall and imposing, exuding the cultivation of a peak Great Emperor, while the woman was petite and frail, only at the second level of the Great Emperor realm, appearing extremely weak in comparison.

“Senior, these are spiritual herbs I planted. They are not unclaimed. You cannot pick them.” The woman frowned, a hint of fear on her face.

"Hehe, so you planted it? Then call it and see if it answers." The man said with a smile, his head held straight.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Changqing saw that the man was holding a large handful of fresh, dew-covered medicinal herbs, which were clearly freshly picked.

As the man spoke, he waved his hand again, and a gust of wind blew by, uprooting hundreds of spirit herbs from the spirit field and sending them flying into his hand.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the spiritual herbs had disappeared. The woman immediately became anxious, cupped her hands in a bow, and pleaded, "Senior, these were all cultivated by me with great effort. How can you do this to me?"

"Heh heh, it's just a few blades of grass, is it really that big of a deal? I've never seen anyone as stingy as you before. If you keep this up, then I won't be polite." The man chuckled, completely unfazed.

The woman's heart sank, and she quickly cupped her hands and said, "Senior, please forgive me. I'm not being stingy, but these spiritual herbs aren't just common weeds. What you're doing is no different from outright robbery."

"Fine, since you've said so, then I'll just rob you outright. You're an orphan with only a daughter, what can you do to me? Hahaha." The man laughed loudly, and with another palm strike, a gust of wind swept through the spirit field, uprooting all the spirit herbs, which were then stored in his storage ring.

The man then walked to another field of sacred plants, preparing to continue harvesting.

The woman walked over quickly and said in a deep voice, "I really can't do anything to you, but senior, you may not know that I do know some great emperors. If you are not willing to return those spiritual herbs, then I will call for help."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately flew into a rage and retorted, "Hmph, go and call them, let's see who you can call!"

After saying that, he made another move, thoroughly plundering the entire spiritual field, and then soared into the sky.

"Hey, come back! Hey!" the woman shouted at the sky.

A voice echoed from the sky: "Don't rush, I will be back within an hour. I'd like to see who you've summoned then, hahaha!"

The scene ends here.

Gu Changqing considered himself to be a good-tempered person, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Isn't this bullying orphans and widows?

Ning Xuerou said softly, "Senior, the woman in the picture is my junior sister from my previous life. She accidentally offended a peak Great Emperor. The other party was aggressive and relentless, so she had to send messages to many friends she knew for help. I was one of them."

In a short while, Gu Changqing understood that the person he had just met was named Shangguan Rongrong, and she lived in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains.

As luck would have it, not long ago, the spiritual field she cultivated caught the eye of a peak-level Great Emperor. Every time it ripened, that peak-level Great Emperor would come and harvest it every few days, as if he were picking things in his own backyard. He could harvest it however he wanted, and Shangguan Rongrong couldn't fight back or scold him. She could only accept it passively.

But this time, they went too far...

Originally, Shangguan Rongrong didn't want to send a message to Ning Xuerou because Ning Xuerou's cultivation hadn't recovered in this life, but as the saying goes, more people mean more strength, so she sent it anyway.

It's always better to have one more person than one less.

Ning Xuerou received the message and was extremely anxious, so she rushed over immediately.

"Senior, the reason I brought you here is because I'm afraid I won't be strong enough to deal with that peak Emperor. With my cultivation level, I might be seriously injured in just two or three moves. I want you to transfer your power to me so that I can return to my peak in an instant..." Ning Xuerou softly explained the reason for bringing Gu Changqing here.

She then said apologetically, "I know that doing this is not good for you, senior. You have already benefited me greatly from passing on your skills to me for so many years, but I am still asking you for something in this matter. I am too greedy. To be honest, I also feel that I am not a good person. But I am anxious to save my junior sister. After this matter is over, whatever you want to ask of me, I will agree without hesitation. I hope that you can grant my request."

As she spoke, gratitude welled up on her face.

Gu Changqing nodded amiably and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? It's just passing on my skills. I agree."

Hehe, you probably don't know yet, but who actually made the most money between us!

"Ah, Senior actually agreed! That's wonderful! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Ning Xuerou trembled with excitement, her gaze towards Gu Changqing growing even more tender, like the warm sun shining on the earth...

After some time, the two successfully reached their destination.
