At this moment, the fat man was already terrified out of his wits, and he was so scared that he wet himself. He really hoped that no one could see him. If there was a crack in the ground, he would crawl into it without saying a word.
He wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but that was unlikely.
Gu Changqing glanced at the fat man, smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with icy light, and said in a deep voice, "Your bodyguards are all dead, now it's your turn."
The fat man was shocked and trembled all over. Without saying a word, he immediately scrambled to his knees and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare my life! I was blind and should not have offended you. I know I was wrong now. Please give me a chance to make amends."
"Do you think I, Gu, would listen to you? That's laughable. I could turn you into a bloody mist with just one finger." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and smugness.
"Please spare my life, sir! I'm willing to give you my beautiful wife and concubines, as well as all my gold and silver treasures, just please spare me this once!" the fat man pleaded again, unwilling to give up.
"Since you are so enthusiastic, it would be a shame if I didn't accept your kindness. I will accept your beautiful wife and concubines, as well as your gold and silver treasures. However, you are really an eyesore to me, so you don't need to live anymore. It will save you from wasting food. Don't worry, I will take good care of your beautiful wife and concubines. You can go in peace."
Gu Changqing rested his chin on his hands, a faint smile on his face.
After saying that, Gu Changqing waved his palm, and a golden hand appeared instantly, slapping the fat man on the head in the blink of an eye.
"No, no..." The fat man screamed hoarsely when he saw Gu Changqing make a move, his eyes filled with fear.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have provoked this man's beloved wife. Now look what happened, he's even lost his life. He's truly lost both his wife and his army. These were his last thoughts before he died.
In an instant, the fat man exploded with a "bang," turning into a pool of blood mist, leaving not even a trace. Blood flowed all over the ground, and he was completely dead.
The onlookers were all terrified. They didn't dare to utter a sound or even breathe loudly, for fear that they might speak at the wrong time and cause some kind of accident.
After all, this powerful figure is incredibly capable; offending him will not end well.
At this moment, Jiang Qingcheng stepped forward and said gently, "Thank you, my husband, for standing up for me."
"Silly girl, this is all I should do, there's nothing to thank me for." Gu Changqing touched Jiang Qingcheng's nose and said with a doting expression.
"Husband, things are settled here. Why don't we return to the sect?" Jiang Qingcheng suggested, noticing that it was getting late.
“Alright, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. I’ve been out for a while now, it’s time to go back to the sect. I’ll also check if the beautiful sect leader has come out of seclusion yet.” Gu Changqing nodded in agreement.
Next, the two of them flew through the air on their flying swords, one after the other, and soon returned to the sect.
After returning to the sect, Gu Changqing sent people to inquire whether the beautiful sect leader had emerged from seclusion, but the news he received was still no.
Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback when he heard the news. Didn't a few days ago there was a rumor that the beautiful sect leader was about to emerge from seclusion? Why hasn't it happened yet? This is too slow. I wonder how long the beautiful sect leader plans to go into seclusion.
"Forget it, I'll just wait. Anyway, the sect is operating normally, and there's nothing major that requires the sect leader to make decisions. Why worry about when the sect leader will emerge from seclusion?" Gu Changqing muttered to himself.
For the next few days, Gu Changqing enjoyed a leisurely and carefree life.
He stayed in Jiang Qingcheng's boudoir all day, never going anywhere else. The two flirted and teased each other, inseparable and deeply in love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One morning, when the sun was high in the sky, Gu Changqing was still sleeping in bed.
It wasn't until Jiang Qingcheng came to wake him up that Gu Changqing slowly got out of bed.
"Husband, Elder Liu just invited you. It seems there's something important he wants you to do. He's waiting for you in the sect's main hall," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Changqing frowned upon hearing this and immediately got up and headed towards the sect's main hall.
A moment later, Gu Changqing arrived at the sect's main hall.
From afar, Elder Liu could be seen pacing back and forth, seemingly troubled by something.
"Elder Liu, is there something important you need to discuss with me so early in the morning?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile and a serious expression.
"Chief Gu has finally arrived! I've been waiting for quite some time. To be honest, I do have something to discuss with Chief Gu," Elder Liu said anxiously.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Changqing frowned slightly and asked with concern.
"Someone came to report this morning that the sect leader's room had been ransacked," Elder Liu said bluntly.
"Oh? Such a thing happened. Did you catch the thief?" Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback and asked with concern.
"The thief who stole the things wasn't caught. If he had, we wouldn't have needed to trouble Chief Gu to come here." Elder Liu shook his head, looking bewildered.
"Is anything important lost?" Gu Changqing asked immediately afterward.
"How would I know, Chief Gu? I've never been inside the sect leader's boudoir, so I don't know if anything important has been lost," Elder Liu said helplessly.
"First, we need to find out who the thief is. If he's from our sect, things might be better. If not, we need to know what his purpose is in coming to our sect. Regardless of whether he's from our sect or not, we must find him by digging three feet into the ground," Gu Changqing said calmly.
"Chief Gu is right. Let's not delay and go to the sect leader's room to find out what's going on," Elder Liu nodded and continued.
So the two of them went together to the sect leader's room.
Upon opening the door, it was discovered that, apart from the heavier items such as tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets, almost everything else in the room had been taken away without exception.
With a thought, Gu Changqing sensed the aura emanating from the room and discovered that it clearly did not belong to anyone from his sect.
"We have the results. That thief is not from our sect," Gu Changqing said, opening his eyes.
"What should we do? What if the sect leader loses something important? How are we supposed to explain this to her when she comes out of seclusion? She will definitely blame us for our poor handling of the situation." Elder Liu was like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious and at a loss for what to do.
"Elder Liu, don't worry, I have a plan," Gu Changqing said confidently.
"Really? Chief Gu really has a solution?" Elder Liu asked in surprise.
