"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved. I was wondering where you got all those skills, and it turns out it was all thanks to Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu is such a good person. It's our luck to have met him. If I hadn't met him, I'm afraid I would have been forced into marriage by the White-Clad Young Master long ago." Shangguan Yaoyao said thoughtfully, feeling relieved.
"Speaking of our benefactor, he's been gone for so long, shouldn't he be back by now?" Old Xu said anxiously.
"Old Xu, don't worry, we'll just wait patiently. Perhaps something has delayed my husband." Jiang Qingcheng smiled faintly and said calmly, not worried at all about any unexpected events. Even if something did happen, it wouldn't be a problem for her husband.
"Since you've said so, then we have nothing to worry about. But what should we do with these people?" Old Xu asked, looking at the group of servants in red clothes in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"Let's talk about this when my husband comes back," Jiang Qingcheng said after thinking for a moment.
"Qingcheng, I'm back. What's the matter that you have to wait for me to come back to handle?" Gu Changqing asked casually with a faint smile.
"Young Master Gu, how is that young man in white? Is he dead?" When Yao Yao saw Gu Changqing return, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a look of surprise and joy.
Although Young Master Gu is very capable, she was still a little uneasy and would feel more at ease asking again.
"There's nothing in this world that I, Gu, can't handle. That piece of trash is naturally off to meet the King of Hell!" Gu Changqing said with a smug smile.
"My lord, you're finally back! They were all so worried, afraid something had happened to you. Actually, it wasn't anything else, they just wanted to know how to deal with these men in white," Jiang Qingcheng explained with a smile, very happy.
"Trash's underlings? Do with them however you like, just kill them, so that Miss Yao Yao won't be unhappy if she sees them." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.
They're just a bunch of ants; Gu Changqing couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on them!
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's words, the group of people trembled with fear and knelt down without saying a word, begging for mercy with pleading expressions.
"Please spare us, boss! Please spare us! We were just following orders, we had no choice!"
"Yes, yes, we were just following orders. We didn't want this to happen. It was all done by our young master; it has nothing to do with us!"
"Please spare us, sir! We are just nobodys and cannot influence your decision. Please have mercy and spare our lives. We have not done anything immoral. All the bad things were done by our young master."
One after another, the group begged for mercy. None of them wanted to die; they just hoped the boss would show leniency and let them go.
"Young Master Gu, there's something I'm hesitant to say, but I still want to. Although they are all underlings of the man in white, they didn't harm me. If we just kill them like this, I'll feel guilty and can't bear to do it. Why don't you spare their lives?" After much deliberation, Miss Yao Yao earnestly pleaded for them.
“Miss Yao Yao, you’re being too kind. Although they haven’t hurt you, can you guarantee they haven’t hurt others? Can you guarantee they won’t retaliate against you or others in the future? I think it would be easier to kill them and avoid further trouble.” Xu Xiaojiang frowned slightly and said seriously.
Xu Xiaojiang disagreed with Shangguan Yaoyao's words. He believed that you can't judge a book by its cover. Even if these people hadn't harmed Miss Shangguan, it didn't mean they hadn't harmed others. After all, their master was the kind of person who didn't do anything right and resorted to extortion. How could his subordinates be any better? Who could guarantee that they wouldn't do bad things in the future?
“You two both have valid points, so there’s no need for you to argue. I do have a middle ground solution that won’t upset Miss Yao Yao, but will also satisfy Xiao Xu,” Jiang Qingcheng said with a faint smile and a mysterious air.
"What's the method? Tell us quickly so everyone can hear it," Xu Xiaojiang said eagerly, his interest piqued.
"But my method might not satisfy either of you," Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile, feigning mystery.
"Tell me what your method is?" Gu Changqing asked, somewhat curiously.
"My method is to abolish their cultivation, then immobilize them to prevent them from escaping, and finally starve them for three days and three nights, letting them fend for themselves. If they are still alive, they are lucky; if they are unlucky and die, they can only blame their bad luck!" Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said her idea in a serious tone.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. It's neither too cruel nor too kind, and it's very reasonable. Let's do as Qingcheng says. It's decided then." Gu Changqing smiled and said with satisfaction.
The others nodded in agreement, finding Jiang Qingcheng's method quite reasonable, and they had nothing more to say.
"Great sir, spare us! Please, great sir, don't destroy our cultivation! We only have this much cultivation left, and if we lose it all, our survival will be in jeopardy."
"Yes, yes, please have mercy, boss. Why don't you go all the way and not ruin our cultivation? We'll disappear from your sight right now and promise never to bother you again."
"Yes, yes, we promise we will never do anything bad. We will always remember what you said, boss, and be good people. We will not do anything immoral or immoral. Please don't ruin our cultivation, okay?"
Upon hearing that their cultivation was about to be destroyed, the group's expressions changed drastically. They didn't want to become useless people with no cultivation, so they immediately began to beg for mercy again.
Gu Changqing gave a cold laugh and said indifferently, "You people are really ungrateful. If it weren't for Yao Yao and Miss Qingcheng pleading for you, I would have slapped you to death long ago. The fact that I'm not killing you is already an extraordinary favor, giving you a huge amount of face. Not only are you not satisfied and ungrateful, but you've also gone too far. You've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, and your skin is thicker than a city wall. You're truly shameless. If I hear you beg for mercy again, I won't care about anything else. No matter who pleads, it won't work. I'll kill you all."
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's words, the group of people were terrified and immediately shut their mouths without saying a word. After all, compared to cultivation, preserving their lives was the most important thing. After all, nothing is more important than life, and as long as you are alive, there is hope.
Seeing that the group of people had the sense to keep quiet, Gu Changqing was quite satisfied. He then followed Jiang Qingcheng's method, abolishing their cultivation one by one. To prevent them from escaping, he used magic to immobilize them one by one, and the task was completed.
After doing all this, Gu Changqing waved his hand, and a huge chaotic flying boat appeared in mid-air. He took them aboard the flying boat and left without looking back, completely carefree.
