The assassins wore expressions of extreme pain, still clinging to a sliver of hope, and kept begging for mercy: "Boss, spare our lives! We're barely alive now, please have mercy!"
"Please, boss, have mercy! Just pretend we were nothing, pretend we're already dead, okay?"
"Please have mercy, boss! We really don't want to die..."
Gu Changqing found them too noisy and didn't want to listen to their rambling anymore. Without saying a word, he slapped them several more times.
Their cultivation was a hundred times worse than the city lord's, and they were completely powerless to fight back. Gu Changqing sent them flying in an instant, as if he were chopping melons and vegetables, and they were smashed into pools of blood mist. The scene was quite frightening.
At this moment, apart from the blood all over the ground, nothing else remained; everything had vanished completely, as if nothing had ever happened.
After dealing with these people, Gu Changqing moved his thoughts and instantly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
The girl in purple exclaimed in utter surprise, "Young Master Gu is so fast! He's back in the blink of an eye!"
"Miss in purple, this is nothing. My husband is very capable; nothing can stump him," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile, her face full of pride.
"Hmm, have you dealt with those assassins, Young Master Gu?" Zi Yi asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, it's all taken care of, not a single one was left behind," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"Although the city lord and his assassins have been dealt with, I still don't know where the city lord has placed my sister or whether she is safe. What should we do?" the girl in purple said with some worry.
"Don't worry, Miss Purple. Didn't the city lord just say that your sister is in his hands? Since he captured your sister to control you, your sister is naturally safe and out of danger," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile, making a reasonable guess.
"Hmm, you're right. I was just too worried. Oh, by the way, I have a handkerchief that my sister used. It has her handkerchief on it. Maybe it will be useful." Thinking of this, the girl in purple immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing took the handkerchief, smelled it, and recognized the purple-clad girl's scent. Then he closed his eyes and sensed her presence.
A moment later, Gu Changqing opened his eyes and said confidently, "Your sister is in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion."
"How is my sister? Is she injured?" The girl in purple became excited and asked eagerly.
"She's fine, not injured at all. This city lord still has some conscience; he didn't harm the little girl," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, speaking earnestly.
"Husband, you can actually see what my sister in purple looks like now? I had no idea you had this ability." Jiang Qingcheng asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. There's a lot you don't know. Your husband is a treasure trove," Gu Changqing said with a smile, pleased with himself.
Gu Changqing was able to see the situation of the girl in purple because he had the ability to see far. This little thing was nothing to him, but it was a different story to others, and it seemed very impressive.
"Then let's go to the dungeon and rescue my sister. Please lead the way, Young Master Gu," the girl in purple said anxiously.
She wanted to see her sister as soon as possible to soothe her wounded heart.
“Alright, my disciples, you can wait here. The environment inside isn’t very good. I’ll be back in a bit.” Gu Changqing suddenly remembered something and said to his disciples.
"Yes, Master," they answered in unison.
Afterwards, Gu Changqing, Jiang Qingcheng, and Ziyi went to the dungeon of the city lord's mansion.
Just as Gu Changqing had described, the dungeon was dark and damp, with many cobwebs in the corners and rats and cockroaches scurrying about on the ground. The environment was truly appalling, no place for a human to live.
"The environment in this dungeon is really terrible. I wonder how my sister survived it. Was she scared?" Ziyi said thoughtfully as she walked.
"Purple-clad girl, don't feel sorry for her. Your sister will soon be free from suffering. You should be happy," Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile, not forgetting to comfort the purple-clad girl.
"What you said makes sense. I was overthinking it," Ziyi said somewhat embarrassedly.
As Gu Changqing walked to the outside of a dungeon room, he suddenly stopped.
"Miss in purple, doesn't her back look like your sister?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly and reminded her.
Zi Yi looked in that direction and saw a figure in a pink dress appear in front of her from behind.
Isn't this her younger sister?
"Sister, sister!" the girl in purple exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing that the mission had been accomplished, Gu Changqing pulled Jiang Qingcheng out of the dungeon without saying a word. Firstly, to give the sisters some time to talk, and secondly, because the dungeon environment was too bad for Gu Changqing to bear.
--------------------
"How are you? Are you scared being here all alone? Has anyone hit you?" Zi Yi asked impatiently.
"Sister, how did you find this place? Don't worry, I'm fine. Although this place is very simple, I'm glad I didn't suffer any physical pain," the little girl comforted the girl in purple.
"Well, that's good. The storm has finally passed. Didn't I tell you to hide well in the old house and wait for me to come back for you? Why didn't you listen and got caught?" Ziyi asked, puzzled.
"Sister, you don't know this, but the people who captured me were very cunning. They deliberately spread the word that you had been captured. When I heard this, I was very uneasy and worried, so I secretly slipped out to look for you. They told me to be sneaky, and without saying a word, they took me away. They would rather kill the innocent than let a suspicious person go free," the little girl said in detail.
"Oh, I see. No wonder you got caught. Luckily, you escaped unharmed. What a relief! I didn't expect these people to be so cunning. No matter how cunning they were, we still managed to escape. Let's not talk about this now; this isn't the place to talk. Let's go outside and discuss this. I'm so grateful for the help of a benefactor who helped me get you out of here. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded long ago." Zi Yi said earnestly, suddenly realizing what had happened.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sister. We'll talk about it outside," the little sister said obediently and sensibly.
A moment later, the two sisters in purple joined Gu Changqing and the others to buy the goods.
