Even if the man in yellow had been more polite, he still wouldn't have been able to avoid death.
Having finally seized the opportunity, how could the woman in white possibly give up her chance for revenge?!
The little boy's resentment gradually subsided after he saw the man in yellow die.
"My little apprentice's skills have improved quite a bit!" Gu Changqing said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Master, for your help. Otherwise, I don't know if I could have escaped this calamity." The little boy smiled shyly and said gratefully.
"It's nothing, it's just a small favor. As your master, I can't bear to see my newly accepted disciples suffer even the slightest harm. With me here, no one can hurt you in the slightest," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and a serious expression.
"Master, you have saved us from danger time and time again. My son and I can never repay your great kindness in this life, the next life, and the life after that!" the woman in white said sincerely.
"Haha, I lack nothing, and I don't need your help. As long as you live well, that's your way of indirectly repaying me," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
It wasn't that he didn't want to repay them, but the mother and son were penniless and had nothing of value to offer, so he simply decided not to mention it.
"The man in yellow is dead. What are your plans now? What will happen to his family?" Jiang Qingcheng asked the woman in white calmly.
"I intend to repay him in kind. I will treat him the way he treated me. Back then, he sent people to burn my house down. I never thought he would end up like me," the woman in white said calmly.
Since killing the man in yellow, her resentment seemed to have lessened, but she still couldn't let his family go. She wanted him to experience the pain of losing his family. As for whether the people inside could escape this calamity, it all depended on their luck.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing didn't hesitate. A miniature version of an active volcano appeared in his hand. He muttered some incantations and then gently blew on it. The flames on the volcano immediately flew towards the house.
In an instant, the entire mansion was engulfed in flames, and the fire quickly became uncontrollable.
"Master, although we want revenge, we don't want to hurt innocent people. Will the fire spread to other houses?" the little boy said, his heart softening.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I thought of that long ago," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
Then they all disappeared.
--------------------
But the large fire quickly attracted the attention of the people in the city, who stopped to watch and discuss it animatedly.
"Oh my god, look! There's a fire over there! My goodness, how did such a big fire suddenly start? The weather is so humid, where did this fire come from? How did it start?"
"You don't know this, but today's fire was premeditated. It wasn't just a simple fire. This family has done a lot of bad things. I saw people come to their door with my own eyes. I guess they came for revenge. This fire was started by the family themselves."
"This fire is strange. It's so big, yet the houses next door are completely unharmed. Is there someone who can control the fire? If so, that's terrifying. It seems this family has met a tough one. I'm afraid none of them will escape."
………
For a time, the whole city was bustling with activity. Some people were busy putting out the fire, fearing that it would spread, while others watched the excitement and gossiped.
Strangely, although the fire was very large, it did not spread to other houses. It was as if the fire was directed by someone and only targeted this family, while the other families were completely unaffected.
In fact, Gu Changqing had deliberately arranged the fire. He had already set up a barrier when he set it on fire, so that no other innocent people would be harmed.
Meanwhile, Gu Changqing and his group had already flown 108,000 li away on their flying boat.
"Master, is this a boat? How can it fly, and fly so fast?" the little boy asked curiously.
"This isn't a ship, it's a flying boat. It can fly in the sky and go into the sea; it's incredibly versatile," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Master, where are we going now? Back to the sect you mentioned?" the woman in white asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You should ask your master's wife about this. I'll listen to her today," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, looking at Jiang Qingcheng.
"I promised to take you out to play today, but I didn't expect it to take up some time. Whether we go out to play now or go back to the sect is up to you," Gu Changqing said gently with a doting expression.
"It's alright, this is something else we've gained, much more meaningful than sightseeing. We can go sightseeing anytime. Why don't we go back to the sect first, and we can come out to play later?" Jiang Qingcheng said with a faint smile, showing great understanding.
"I'm so sorry, Master and Mistress. You were delayed in your trip because of us, weren't you?" the little boy said apologetically.
"You don't need to apologize. What does this have to do with you? Saving you was our own choice. It's fate," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
"Qingcheng, you are so understanding. What more could a husband ask for than such a wife?" Gu Changqing praised with a smile.
"Alright, stop talking. You're so sweet-talking," Jiang Qingcheng said, blushing slightly.
"Alright, I won't say anything more. Let's go back to the sect. I'll make it up to you when we get back," Gu Changqing said with a wicked grin.
After saying that, Gu Changqing increased the speed of the flying boat, and in no time they returned to the Qingyun Sect.
Afterwards, Gu Changqing arranged for the mother and son to be together with the other apprentices.
"From now on, you will live here just like them. Your main task every day is to practice your skills. Life will be relatively leisurely. If you need anything, you can ask Bai Xue and Sisi. Everything will be arranged perfectly for you," Gu Changqing said earnestly to the two of them.
"Yes, thank you, Master. The environment here is beautiful, and there are so many fellow disciples around the same age as my son. I really like it here," the woman in white said gratefully.
"That's good, then I can rest assured," Gu Changqing said casually.
"Sisi, Baixue, two new people have arrived. You should treat them well. From now on, we're all family, so you must get along well," Jiang Qingcheng said to them.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of them all," Bai Xue said with a slight smile.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, then Qingcheng and I will head back first." Gu Changqing nodded in satisfaction and said calmly.
"Master, are you leaving so soon after you arrived?" Just as Gu Changqing was about to leave, one of his young disciples spoke up.
"That's right, Master, we all miss you and Mistress. We've all made great progress while you've been away," another apprentice boasted happily.
"My dear disciples, I have other matters to attend to today. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days," Gu Changqing explained with a smile.
“Alright then, Master, you have to keep your word, don’t forget!” the little apprentice replied earnestly.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll come to see you in a couple of days," Gu Changqing said with a hint of helplessness.
His apprentices were all very clingy, especially to him, but he was used to being alone and didn't like being clung to.
