"That's acceptable. Thank you for your leniency, sir." Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhang immediately felt that this was not bad, at least there was a good chance.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, run away. They consider themselves quite talented in this area because it's what they excel at.
He couldn't guarantee anything else, but when it came to escaping, almost no one could beat him.
If he claims to be number one, no one dares to claim to be number two.
His father, the city lord, had taught him about the art of escape long ago.
The reason his father taught him how to escape was because his own cultivation level wasn't very high; now it seems his father was truly farsighted.
Moreover, he had many magical artifacts and elixirs for escaping, and given his speed, he was confident there would be no problem.
Moreover, he had a full quarter of an hour to escape, and he believed that within that quarter of an hour he had reached the ends of the earth.
Even the most powerful expert would most likely be unable to catch up.
With this in mind, he was confident and looked like he had victory in the bag.
"Since you've already agreed, what are you waiting for? I'm about to start the countdown," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's words, Young Master Zhang took out two pills from his person without saying a word and swallowed them.
This pill was actually an enhanced version of the Swiftness Pill. He was afraid that one wouldn't be enough, so he swallowed two, thinking that having one more might make it even more effective.
Then, with a thought, a pair of black wheels appeared in mid-air. Without saying a word, he flashed forward, stepped onto the wheels, and escaped like lightning.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Changqing watched him disappear, smiled coldly, and remained completely calm, as if he had everything under control.
With the help of the Divine Speed Pill and the Wheel, coupled with their own flight speed, Young Master Zhang was like a falling meteor, incredibly fast, even faster than a meteor. You know, when a meteor streaks across the sky, it is incredibly fast, but his speed is much faster than a meteor, billions of times faster, almost like the speed of light, on par with it.
As he flew, he sneered, then regained his confidence and exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, my speed is now unmatched! It can't get any faster! No one can be faster than me! Hehehe!"
He thought to himself that the big shot probably couldn't catch up with him at all, so he could rest easy.
Thinking of this, his tense nerves instantly relaxed.
He had relaxed by now and slowed down his flight, believing that the big boss wouldn't catch up.
Since the big shot is willing to give me a chance, I guess he won't take it too seriously.
Maybe the big shot didn't even chase after me and deliberately let me go.
Just as he was feeling smug.
But the next moment, a scene that left him speechless, dumbfounded, and utterly shocked unfolded.
A flash of light streaked past his eyes, and when he opened them again, the other party appeared directly in front of him like a god, blocking his path.
Young Master Zhang was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating. He couldn't believe that the big shot could catch up with him. After all, he had already taken two Swiftness Pills and had the Wheel as an aid. How could he still be caught up?
He fell into deep thought for a long time, unable to calm down.
Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "How come you only got here now? This really surprises me. I caught up with you so easily. This is so boring and lacks any challenge!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhang was shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the person in front of him.
He wondered to himself: What kind of monster is this person? Why is he so fast?
He seemed to have thought of something, and said angrily, "Didn't the boss say he would give me a quarter of an hour? But not a quarter of an hour has passed yet, how can you go back on your word?"
"Haha, I did say I would give you fifteen minutes, and I have no intention of going back on my word. I'm just curious where you've gone. Don't be afraid. Since the time hasn't come, you can continue. I'll be waiting."
Gu Changqing laughed heartily and said nonchalantly.
When Young Master Zhang heard what the big shot said, his heart immediately relaxed.
He was genuinely startled.
Fortunately, he still has a chance.
It seems we can't let our guard down. This big shot is indeed very powerful. If we don't go all out, things could get very difficult.
With this in mind, he simply burned his cultivation and essence blood to accelerate his progress once again.
It must be said that after burning his cultivation and essence, his flight speed reached a new level, this time tens of thousands of times faster than before.
However, he dared not let his guard down and went all out to advance Jiangsu without stopping for a moment.
He originally thought he couldn't catch up with the big shot, but now he doesn't dare to think that way anymore.
After all, the big boss is too powerful, and I really have no confidence.
He wasn't absolutely certain, nor did he know if he could escape.
He could only give it his all and keep flying forward.
I don't know how long we flew.
He suddenly saw a flash of white light rush past him, blocking his path.
He frowned, a bad feeling suddenly welling up inside him.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, looked closely, and was immediately terrified.
The white light was none other than the person he least wanted to see—Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing stood in front of him, a smile playing on his lips, looking like an immortal untouched by worldly affairs.
Young Master Zhang was so frightened by what he saw that he was completely at a loss.
His eyes were wide open, like black pearls, filled with fear, as if he had seen some monster; his shock was palpable on the page.
At that moment, he had a million questions in his mind.
Why was he still able to catch up even after consuming the Swiftness Pill, using the Acceleration Wheel, and even burning his cultivation and essence?
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out!
"What kind of magic did you use to catch up with me so quickly?" Young Master Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to know what kind of magic Gu used. What you should be most concerned about right now is yourself. You still have the mind to ask Gu these questions?"
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said casually.
Young Master Zhang was very flustered and began to beg for mercy again: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken a fancy to your wife, senior, and I shouldn't have spoken so rudely. I hope you will be magnanimous and let me off the hook. I will do whatever you need. I hope you can forgive me."
"I have already given you a chance, but you did not seize it. It is not impossible for me to let you go, unless you die..." Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said thoughtfully.
"What? Senior, don't be so heartless!" Young Master Zhang said in a panic.
When he heard Gu Changqing say that, his heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
