Chapter 100: Jiang Xun, I beg you

"Huh?" Gu Qing did not expect Jiang Xun to say such a thing at this moment, and she was stunned.

Coupled with the fact that she had just killed someone for the first time—and her half-brother at that—her head was buzzing for a moment.

"You aren't willing? The Lingerie-Sect is not as unbearable as they say."

Jiang Xun said upon seeing this.

"No, no, no, I am willing." After Gu Qing snapped back to reality, she nodded immediately: "Just by the fact that you risked your life to come in and save me, I know you are definitely not a bad person!"

"But Immortal Master, is this situation really appropriate... I still have to go save my parents."

"What is their current situation?"

Jiang Xun nodded and asked.

"Not long after you left, a few disciples from the Tianwu Sect returned. The person leading them seemed to have a good relationship with my brother... with Gu Cheng. He led people to capture all the female disciples who fought with you earlier."

"My parents were also captured by them. Gu Cheng locked me in this room. When he came in just now, he said... tomorrow he wants to hang all those Baihua Sect disciples on the city walls to lure you over."

"Right now, the entire City Lord Mansion should be under the control of those Tianwu Sect disciples and Gu Cheng."

Gu Qing said, unable to help but sigh.

She really didn't expect Gu Cheng to be such a beast in human clothing.

"Immortal Master, did you risk coming back to save people?"

Gu Qing then asked.

"I came back to check the situation. On the way, I figured out that the mole must have been Gu Cheng, and I wanted to kill Gu Cheng while I was at it. I didn't expect you to have killed him already," Jiang Xun laughed.

"Now that Gu Cheng is dead, everyone outside heard your scream just now. If they come looking for trouble, you won't be able to escape. You should come with me first."

"But my parents..." Gu Qing was somewhat conflicted.

"We don't know exactly where they are being held, and with the Tianwu Sect people still there, it's hard to investigate. If you don't come with me now, none of us will be able to leave later. Don't worry, they need someone to manage Shuiyun City, so they won't do anything to your parents. If you stay here, you will only be used to threaten your parents."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing felt it made a lot of sense. She no longer hesitated and nodded: "Okay."

Afterward, Jiang Xun led Gu Qing out of the house. After confirming that no one was watching, he directly used his sword to fly away with Gu Qing.

It was Gu Qing's first time flying, and she was immediately so frightened that she hugged Jiang Xun's neck tightly. With her white dress fluttering and her long hair dancing in the wind, a mortal woman was made to look like a fairy.

Jiang Xun couldn't help but be stunned at the sight.

Although he had noticed Gu Qing was very pretty before, seeing her up close like this while pressed together, she was even prettier!

"Im... Immortal Master, please don't look at me like that. I'm just too scared."

Gu Qing held onto Jiang Xun's neck, and after noticing Jiang Xun's gaze, she lowered her head and blushed. She also knew that hugging him like this might be somewhat offensive to an Immortal Master, but she was truly afraid of falling.

"Call me Master from now on."

Jiang Xun heard this and pulled Gu Qing's small waist tighter, laughing.

"Mm... Mas... Master."

Gu Qing was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded heavily, unable to hide her happiness.

To prevent being discovered by the Tianwu Sect disciples, Jiang Xun flew at full speed the entire way, taking the time of one incense stick to return to the place where Tu Qing and the others were.

Seeing Jiang Xun land, Tu Qing and Yin Ningyu both stood up in a hurry.

"Senior Brother... Gu, Gu Qing?"

Tu Qing was slightly stunned when she saw the woman emerging from Jiang Xun's arms.

"From now on, she is my disciple. This is your Junior Martial Aunt, and this is your Senior Martial Aunt. Greet them."

Jiang Xun said while looking at Gu Qing.

"Greetings, Junior Martial Aunt!" Gu Qing hurriedly bowed to Tu Qing, then turned to bow to Ming Ning, who was lying on the ground: "Greetings, Senior Martial Aunt!"

"Didn't you go to scout the situation? How did you bring a little beauty back?"

Ming Ning nodded, then looked at Jiang Xun and laughed.

"The situation changed suddenly..." Jiang Xun laughed, then told them about what had just happened and the current state of Shuiyun City.

"They want to hang the Senior Sisters and the others on the city walls!?"

Yin Ningyu became anxious upon hearing this.

"Don't be anxious yet. The fact that they can do this at least proves that your Senior Sisters and the others are currently in no danger of losing their lives."

Jiang Xun said, looking at Yin Ningyu.

"Ac... actually, there are only six disciples of the Baihua Sect left."

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking, then looked at Jiang Xun and continued: "The remaining male disciples of the Lingerie-Sect have also all died."

"..." Yin Ningyu's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this, and her eyes turned red.

After all, those were her fellow disciples she spent every day with, which was a world of difference from these Lingerie-Sect men used for dual cultivation.

"Gu Cheng is dead, and you've brought Gu Qing back. We shouldn't go and walk into that trap anymore." Ming Ning propped herself up from the ground: "The Tianwu Sect needs to keep the City Lord to control Shuiyun City, so Gu Junshou and his wife won't be in any trouble."

Although he had said he would help Yin Ningyu if possible, in the current situation, Jiang Xun had already finished what he wanted to do, and the other side had prepared such an obvious trap—only a fool would go.

"Let's return to the Lingerie-Sect." Ming Ning stood up, tossed Jiang Xun's clothes to him, and turned to leave.

"Senior Sister..."

"Little Xun." Before Jiang Xun could finish speaking, Ming Ning turned back with a serious expression: "I said, return to the Lingerie-Sect."

Seeing that Ming Ning seemed truly angry, Jiang Xun had no choice but to nod: "Yes, Senior Sister."

"Jiang Xun..." Seeing Jiang Xun turn around to leave, Yin Ningyu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

"After we leave, you can call your Master to come."

Jiang Xun looked back at Yin Ningyu and said.

"... But they are going to hang the Senior Sisters on the city walls tomorrow. My Master won't be able to make it in time," Yin Ningyu said hurriedly.

"But we are truly unable to help," Tu Qing ran to Jiang Xun's side, hugged his other arm, and shouted.

"As long as you help me save the Senior Sisters, all of our Storage Rings can be yours," Yin Ningyu said hurriedly, while simultaneously taking off her own ring and holding it up before Jiang Xun's eyes.

"You think we'd risk our lives for such a pittance? How is that possible?" Ming Ning looked back at Yin Ningyu: "If your Baihua Sect hadn't come out to cause trouble, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state, and we wouldn't have lost four disciples."

"Please..." Seeing that Tu Qing and Ming Ning were both being unreasonable, Yin Ningyu could only look at Jiang Xun with a pleading expression on her face.

Having grown accustomed to women wearing this expression, Jiang Xun naturally did not feel pity for Yin Ningyu because of it, but he did sense that Yin Ningyu's emotions seemed a bit off; she seemed to be treating him as her only reliance at this moment.

Was it because he had seen her body that she felt she was so close to him?

It made sense... the vast majority of women outside the Lingerie-Sect regarded their chastity as more important than their own lives.

Perhaps Yin Ningyu subconsciously regarded him as someone close to her.

"If you keep pestering us, don't blame me for being impolite." Seeing this, Ming Ning frowned and walked toward Yin Ningyu.
