Elder Liu was completely bewildered, his face full of questions. Was this person an idiot? How could someone be so happy while being imprisoned?
"I forgot to tell Elder Liu that this person said he is an admirer of the Sect Master, and he was extremely excited to hear that he could meet the Sect Master, which is why he did this," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"So that's how it is. I thought he wasn't very bright," Elder Liu said with a sudden realization.
"Speak quickly, how did you sneak into my Qingyun Sect? Although my Qingyun Sect is not a major sect, we still have people strictly guarding the mountain gate. I see that you are only at the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm, and your cultivation is not high. How did you sneak in so easily? You should know that our gate guards are all at the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm, and their cultivation is much higher than yours. How did you manage to deceive their discerning eyes? Tell the truth now!" Elder Liu asked first.
"I'll confess, don't be so fierce. It's not difficult to enter the Qingyun Sect. Although my cultivation is not high, I took a special pill. This pill can not only make me invisible, but also completely cover up my aura. Even if I stand in front of the Heavenly King himself, he won't notice me." The white-robed man said confidently and smugly.
"Oh, I see. I'm very curious. Where did you get your pills? They're so powerful." Elder Liu asked with great curiosity, quickly inquiring about the origin of the pills.
"Of course I bought it, otherwise where would I get it? To tell you the truth, this pill is not easy to buy. I finally managed to buy it from the black market at a high price, which cost me a lot of spirit stones. Moreover, this pill has a particularly big drawback, which is that it can only last for twenty-four hours. After that, it will revert to its original form. The seller told me before that it could last for three days, which is a load of rubbish. Unscrupulous black-hearted merchants who deceive consumers. Once I get out of here, I will definitely ask him for a refund of the spirit stones..." The man in white said in detail.
Even now, he still feels the pinch, because this pill has almost used up all his savings over the years. In the end, he didn't even get the job done, and he even got himself involved. He really lost everything, extremely unlucky.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? We didn't ask you for that much detail, so don't keep rambling. Besides, it's still uncertain whether you can even get out. I'm asking you, how did you find the sect leader's room? Although my Qingyun Sect isn't particularly large, it's not small either. Finding the sect leader's residence accurately isn't that easy, is it? Did someone help you?" Before the man could finish speaking, Gu Changqing interrupted him and asked directly.
"No...no, I found them all myself," the man in white stammered.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Gu Changqing, who immediately felt that the person was lying.
"Is that so? According to my subordinates, apart from the sect leader's room being completely ransacked, all the other rooms are intact, without even a trace. How do you explain that?" Elder Liu asked suspiciously.
He felt there must be something fishy going on, because it clearly didn't make sense.
"I really searched for them one by one, no, I found out by overhearing the conversation between the sect disciples..." The man in white was flustered and his words were incoherent.
It's obvious he's lying.
"You won't talk, huh? Then let me give you a taste of my fist." Gu Changqing said nonchalantly, his words brimming with threat.
After saying that, his whole body suddenly changed, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him. The frightening aura made it hard to breathe, and it was extremely terrifying.
My God, what level of power is this? Is just a single wisp of pressure enough to be so terrifying? This is unbelievable! I don't want to die!
"I'll talk, I'll talk, please don't do it, please don't do it!" the man in white said in a panic.
His heart was pounding wildly, but thankfully he was alright. If he had hesitated for even a second longer, he might already be on his way to the underworld.
"You're so kind, why do you have to refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit? You're asking for trouble!" Gu Changqing said bluntly.
"I don't actually know where the sect leader lives, but I have a childhood friend who works in the Qingyun Sect and even worked under the sect leader. He told me this by chance. He didn't know I liked the sect leader beforehand. The reason I didn't say anything just now was because I didn't want to implicate him." The man in white finally told the whole truth.
After speaking out, he felt much better, but he felt a little sorry for his friends. However, he had no choice. If he didn't tell the truth, he would probably be doomed. So he decided to betray his friends to save himself. It was a last resort.
In his view, in the face of life and death, everything else is trivial and not worth mentioning.
"Heh, you came prepared after all. You said it was just a momentary impulse, that you were bewitched. You were lying all along," Gu Changqing said with a cold laugh.
He had long known that this person, though seemingly honest, actually had his own agenda and was the kind of person who wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with dire consequences.
"What's the name of that friend you mentioned? I'll send someone to check if such a person exists. If what you say is true, he will definitely be punished," Elder Liu asked calmly, his expression unchanged.
"His name is Wang Xiaotian," the man in white said without hesitation, without any hesitation.
He figured he'd already betrayed his friends, so there was no point in hiding it anymore.
“Alright, Chief Gu, why don’t we stop here for now and detain this person temporarily to await further instructions? I can also send someone to investigate whether what this person just said is true,” Elder Liu said with a slight smile.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Elder Liu." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"This is all I should do. Before the sect leader went into seclusion, he specifically told me to keep a close eye on things, but this happened. I just wanted to do my best to make amends," Elder Liu said apologetically.
"No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. How can we be meticulous in every detail and avoid any errors? It's nothing serious," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Chief Gu. I feel much better now. Guards, quickly drag this thief out and lock him up," Elder Liu said to the outside.
"I've already confessed, can't you still let me go? I haven't caused any harm to the Qingyun Sect," the white-robed man said unwillingly.
He would be happy to see the sect leader, but he was very unhappy that he was about to be imprisoned before he could even see the person he longed for.
Two disciples from the Qingyun Sect arrived shortly afterward, dragged the thief out, and imprisoned him.
Seeing that things had taken a preliminary turn, Gu Changqing prepared to return to Jiang Qingcheng's residence and said directly:
"Elder Liu, if there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, before Elder Liu could speak, Gu Changqing vanished in a flash.
Elder Liu smiled but said nothing. He was already used to Chief Gu's behavior and had long since become accustomed to it.
