"Don't worry about me. I didn't ask you to save me!" Gu Yunru pulled his hand away, but she didn't expect Wu Liang to take advantage of her inattention and strike at the back of her neck, and she fell into his arms.

"I'm sorry, girl. For your safety, I can only do this."

After that, he took her back to the secret organization.

At this time, the officials had already discovered the news that the master had been murdered. They quickly brought the gang to the court and began to interrogate them severely.

"Who exactly is your accomplice?" Several officials were standing by. After the academician received the news, officials from several other cities rushed over overnight. Now it was already early morning of the next day, so they called all the people out and wanted to torture them to extract a confession.

However, he did not expect that these people were so stubborn, so he turned his gaze to Han Suche, grabbed her chin and asked gloomily: "If you don't speak, your face will be branded with another mark. You'd better confess obediently, otherwise you will die a miserable death." Faced with the threats from the other party, Han Suche's heart began to beat. He didn't know what happened last night, and he was inexplicably brought here for interrogation.

"Master, we are really wronged. This is a huge misunderstanding. We are really not Zoroastrians. We just happened to watch the fun that day and were brought back by you. And we really don't know what happened. Grandpa, please be kind and let us go."

Han Suche tried her best, but this man turned out to be so hard-hearted. She had seen many people like Han Suche who tried to gain forgiveness by playing the victim, so he would naturally not be bewitched by her few words.

The officials discussed and decided to torture everyone. Rong Zhen's health was not good to begin with. Shu'er saw this and stopped in front of Rong Zhen and said, "If you want to torture, come at me, don't hurt my brother!"

“Shu’er!” Rong Zhen clenched his teeth, not wanting Shu’er to take the punishment for him. However, he saw those officials grinning and saying, “None of you three can escape. If you don’t tell us what you know, don’t blame us for being merciless later!”

As he spoke, he took out many inhumane torture instruments and began to torture everyone. On the other side, Gu Yunru woke up from a nightmare, only to see many people around her staring at her. These people were dressed in strange clothes and their faces were covered in black. I don't know what material they were painted with.

"Wake up!" Two guys shouted "wake up" and jumped out. Gu Yunru looked at the house, which seemed to be made of stones. It seemed to be a secret room, because there was no candle and no windows. Could this be the underground organization of Zoroastrianism? I didn't expect it to be so hidden.

Wu Liang walked in at this time, holding a bowl of water in his hand, ready to feed her. Unexpectedly, Gu Yunru pushed his hand away in a bad temper, and the bowl broke. Seeing this, several other believers stared at Gu Yunru with strange eyes.

"There is nothing for you to do here. You all should go out first." This group of people seemed to listen to Wu Liang's words. They lined up to go out one after another and closed the door of the secret room. Gu Yunru stared at him vigilantly and said, "What exactly are you going to do? Do you want to put me under house arrest?"

When Wu Liang heard her say this, he laughed out loud and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to make friends with you. I think you are very interesting. If you join our Zoroastrianism, you will definitely have a place to show your talents in the future."

Gu Yunru turned away with a look of disgust, "I'm not interested in your sect, nor do I bother to join you. I just want to know how my friends are doing now." Gu Yunru didn't know what time it was, but he heard the sound of roosters crowing nearby. He didn't expect that they actually raised chickens nearby.

"When we were fighting with the government officials that day, you seemed to have helped us a lot. It doesn't matter if you don't want to join the sect. I saved you anyway, so those people naturally think that you and we are already an inseparable group. If you are hunted down by the government officials, I, Wu Liang, can still beg you for help."

This man had beautiful features, but no one expected him to be the leader of a cult. This puzzled Gu Yunru. If he were still in Da Qi, he could be given a position and do some good things for the people. But he had to do these trouble-making jobs.

"What time is it now?"

"When I brought you back, you slept for ten hours. Although I used some not-so-glorious means to bring you back, don't worry. I have sent people to observe the conditions of your friends. They have now been identified as members of the Zoroastrianism. Do you know what the outcome will be?"

Seeing Wu Liang's seemingly playful eyes, Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes and instantly understood. She had heard Han Suche say that Zoroastrianism and government power were incompatible, and that Zoroastrianism had also gradually developed from a village.

While the foreign country was ruling the surrounding small countries, the power of Zoroastrianism was also expanding rapidly. It seemed that it wanted to brainwash the emperor, but was eventually brainwashed by the emperor, leaving a small part of the power lingering on. Recently, there have been signs of revival, and they did not expect to be involved in it.

"Then please let me out first, Brother Wu. I want to go and save my friends."

Gu Yunru didn't want to confront the other party head-on, lest it would arouse suspicion. Wu Liang stared at her with interest and said, "You care so much about your friends. Don't worry, I have asked my people to rescue them. They will be able to see them before sunset today. But you should think about how to thank me."

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Gu Yunru found it somewhat ridiculous. If it weren't for Wu Liang, how could they have ended up in the situation they are in today? Speaking of this, the source of the disaster was still Wu Liang. Gu Yunru rolled his eyes but couldn't say these words directly, for fear of making the other party unhappy and killing him to silence him.

"How do you want me to thank you?" Gu Yunru asked back, testing his attitude. Wu Liang stood up from the bed and paced back and forth in front of her, as if he was thinking about some unspeakable major issue.

"I think..." Wu Liang hadn't finished his words when he suddenly felt his heart twitch. He collapsed to the ground, holding his chest. Gu Yunru was startled and walked to his side, putting her hand on his pulse. For some reason, it seemed that a very strange power was surging in his body.

"What's going on? Are you also controlled by the Gu?"
