The three of them, Wu Xiaolan, Gu Qianying, and Su Cheng, were stunned after hearing the words.
They truly hadn't expected Gu Qianying and her companions to venture into danger when they knew the risks ahead.
"You must think carefully. These people who have been afflicted with the蛊 are far more terrifying than you can imagine."
Wu Xiaolan warned Gu Qianying with some concern.
"Don't worry, I know you mean well, but our minds are made up."
After speaking, Gu Qianying turned to look at Su Cheng.
"Since they have told us the truth and are indeed innocent, and have shared so much with us, let's let them go."
Su Cheng nodded.
"Alright, you have no business here anymore. You should leave quickly."
Gu Qianying said to the three of Wu Xiaolan.
They had initially thought Gu Qianying would not let them go.
Upon hearing Gu Qianying's words, all three looked at her with disbelief.
"You mean you're going to let us go?"
Wu Xiaolan asked, incredulous.
"Yes, considering how honest you've been and how much you've told us, I won't make things difficult for you. You should leave now."
After speaking, Gu Qianying prepared to leave with Su Cheng and Xiao Yihao.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaolan, Wu Ming, and Wu Lei quickly stepped forward to bow and thank Gu Qianying and her companions.
"Thank you for sparing our lives this time."
"We know that this thanks is too little. If you ever need help in the future, we will do our utmost to assist you."
The three of Wu Xiaolan said to Gu Qianying with great sincerity.
Gu Qianying waved her hand at the three and prepared to leave.
Wu Xiaolan stopped Gu Qianying.
"Wait, I have one more thing to tell you."
Upon hearing Wu Xiaolan's words, Gu Qianying stopped and turned to face Wu Xiaolan.
"Actually, the Saintess is not dead at all. The Saintess is alive and well."
"And the Saintess's limbs were not severed."
"After being taken to Wu Yin Mountain, the Saintess became the Wu Demoness of Wu Yin Mountain."
Gu Qianying was confused upon hearing this.
"Wu Demoness?"
"She is a very powerful female demon who kills people."
Wu Xiaolan explained to Gu Qianying.
Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Qianying frowned.
Honestly, what Wu Xiaolan had just told her was truly unexpected.
"Since Lu Zhu is still alive, I must go to Wu Yin Mountain to rescue her."
"Moreover, you mentioned that most of the people on Wu Yin Mountain are afflicted with the蛊, so I cannot delay any further."
Gu Qianying stated with great determination.
"But no matter what, I will never give up on finding Lu Zhu."
"Even if Lu Zhu has become the Wu Demoness of Wu Yin Mountain, I believe she will recognize me when she sees me."
"And now that Lu Zhu is deeply trapped, if I abandon her, then she will truly be abandoned by everyone."
"Therefore, I am very grateful for everything you have told me, but I still must go and rescue Lu Zhu."
Gu Qianying firmly rejected Wu Xiaolan's kind intentions.
After speaking, she turned again to look at Su Cheng beside her.
Wu Xiaolan had intended to persuade them further, but seeing the situation, she could only sigh helplessly.
After interacting with them for so long, Wu Xiaolan realized that Gu Qianying was a rather stubborn person.
"Alright, since I have already told you, and you still insist on proceeding, then we have nothing more to say."
"However, you must be extra careful from now on, as the journey ahead will not be peaceful."
Wu Xiaolan cautioned Gu Qianying with some worry.
"Okay."
"Initially, I thought you were all ill-intentioned, just like the people of Wu Yin Mountain."
"But after hearing so much from you, my impression of you has truly changed for the better."
"You should leave now, we need to press on."
After speaking, Gu Qianying prepared to lead Su Cheng forward.
As Wu Xiaolan was about to leave, she touched her sleeve and discovered something inside.
"Wait, I have one more thing to give you."
With that, Wu Xiaolan stepped forward and took out something yellow, resembling a flower, from her sleeve and presented it to Gu Qianying.
"This was left behind by the Saintess earlier."
"I happened to pick it up."
"Since you are determined to go to Wu Yin Mountain to find the Saintess today, I will give you this."
"I hope it can be of some help to you on your journey."
After speaking, Wu Xiaolan handed the flower-like object to Gu Qianying.
