She saw that the skin on her grandfather's arm, which was originally covered with wrinkles and age spots, had completely disappeared.
The exposed arm no longer resembled an arm at all.
The girl's face was filled with surprise and fear, because in her eyes, the arm had been sculpted into a human shape by the man in front of her.
The man's appearance was exactly like her own when she was crying. Both the pained expression and the two lines of tears were exactly the same as the copy on her grandfather's arm. The two lines of tears were replaced by two blood vessels that were constantly circulating blood, creating a unique kind of beauty.
While the girl was still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed, Gu Changqing lowered the arm that belonged to the Imperial Finance Deputy, but which had been completely modified.
As the girl stared in shock, Gu Changqing held the "Nightingale's scalpel" in his hand, aiming it at her grandfather's head.
Seeing this, the girl understood Gu Changqing's intention, but what good did it do her now?
Gu Changqing could completely disregard the whereabouts of the other gold and jade pendants, but she simply couldn't bear to watch her grandfather be tortured to death right in front of her.
So, having already grasped Gu Changqing's intentions, but unable to stop him, the girl, her face contorted with pain and resentment, resignedly addressed Gu Changqing, who was holding a scalpel, preparing to stab her grandfather's face:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made demands of you. Please stop! I'll tell you the whereabouts of the rest of the gold and jade pendants. Please don't hurt my grandfather anymore, I beg you."
Hearing the girl's pained voice, Gu Changqing knew that she ultimately couldn't bear to watch her grandfather die right in front of her.
He then stopped reaching out to the face of the Imperial Finance Vice-Minister and put the "Nightingale's Scalpel" back into the black ring on his left hand.
The Imperial Finance Vice-Executive should have died just like that, but thanks to the "Nightingale's Scalpel" ability, he could probably survive for a few more hours until the surgery was over, after which death would be all that awaited him.
Ignoring the Imperial Finance Vice-Officer who was still groaning in pain, Gu Changqing turned to look at the girl with a face full of suffering, staring at her without saying a word.
Seeing that Gu Changqing had put away his scalpel and stopped attacking her grandfather, the girl knew that the man before her was waiting for her to reveal the whereabouts of the remaining gold and jade pendants, so she spoke directly:
"There are two gold and jade pendants left. One was a gift from my grandfather to me on my 16th birthday, and the other was a gift from my grandfather to me on my 18th birthday."
"I still carry with me the gold and jade pendant that was given to me when I was 16."
After saying that, the girl tried to take out the gold and jade pendant from her clothes, but found that her body was still restrained and she could not make any movements.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing realized that it was the right decision not to use the Soul Searching Technique directly. Otherwise, the whereabouts of the other gold pendants would probably remain unknown. At most, he could only find one gold pendant on the girl who had become mentally impaired, but he would never be able to obtain the last one.
Before the girl could say anything, Gu Changqing walked up to her, searched her body, and quickly took out a golden jade pendant that also emitted a faint light from her waist.
As for why he dared to take it directly at this moment, it was naturally because he had already discovered on the way that the light emitted by this golden jade pendant was acting on the soul, first dissolving the soul in the human body, and finally acting on the human body.
He could say that he did not have a physical body; this body was merely an evolution of his divine soul. As long as his divine soul remained intact, he could have as many as he wanted. The light emanating from the golden jade pendant could not possibly harm his Holy Emperor divine soul.
