Ah Qing was still dressed the way she was when she was captured.
Her coarse hemp clothes were very old and stained with mud and blood. She lowered her head and followed behind Gu Changge. Along the way, she seemed to have turned a blind eye to everything around her.
Although she had settled down these days and did not need to continue running, she did not clean the dirt and blood on her face.
That was because it was also a good way for her to cover up. She did not need to worry about others seeing her real face and causing unnecessary trouble.
Gu Changge did not show any disdain for her appearance.
"I met a pitiful person in this hunt. I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I saved her."
Gu Changge said casually with a faint smile on his face.
"I see."
Everyone was enlightened and did not doubt his words. They were just a little envious of Ah Qing.
In that case, she was a blessing in disguise and turned from a captive to a captive.
If she followed Gu Changge, even the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, which was her previous enemy, would not dare to say a word.
Of course, no one knew Ah Qing's identity. Even Yu Lie and the others did not know.
They just treated her as an ordinary captive. Like the others, she was escorted here after being defeated at the border.
Ah Qing stood quietly behind Gu Changge and watched him talk casually with the many young Heavenly Legends in front of him. Everyone showed a respectful and flattering attitude towards him.
Even the future successor of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, who arranged this hunting game, was extremely respectful to him.
This made her feel like she was in a dream. She could not tell whether it was real or not and could not calm down.
What was the background and identity of Gu Changge who saved her?
In the past few days, Gu Changge did not take the initiative to ask about her background and other things. He only showed interest occasionally.
She had always maintained a vigilant attitude towards everything around her, so she had always remained silent and never talked about the things that happened in her world.
Gu Changge didn't seem to be in a hurry.
But this made her even more confused. She didn't know how to repay his kindness.
She was a person who didn't like to owe favors, but Gu Changge had saved her life twice. For such a favor, even if she had to work like an ox or a horse, it wouldn't be too much.
"A few Heaven's Prides from the Scarlet Lotus Sect have gone missing."
17
A young Heaven's Pride suddenly noticed that some of the people who had returned were missing.
How could anyone get into trouble in such a hunting game? And it was actually a group of people?
Ah Qing's hands tightened under her sleeves as she broke out in a cold sweat. The group of people who chased after her seemed to be from the Crimson Lotus Sect.
If the other party found out that the disappearance of that group of people was related to Gu Changge, then she would not hesitate to stand up and take responsibility for everything.
"The hunting ground is fraught with danger. Sometimes, when you encounter danger, it's normal for accidents to happen."
Second Prince Yu Lie didn't seem to be surprised. He waved his hand and smiled, gesturing for the crowd to not take it to heart.
Of course, he had already heard about it. After all, there were experts guarding the hunting ground who were paying close attention to the situation.
When Gu Changge killed that group of people, that expert had already sensed it. But he didn't dare to say anything and could only pretend that he didn't see it.
"Yes, it is indeed fraught with danger. Even we encountered many dangers and almost lost our lives. Brother Zhao Kang and the others are really unlucky."
The people present were not fools. They understood that the Second Prince was implying that they shouldn't get involved in this matter and should just treat it as an accident. Immediately, they all agreed.
Even the Second Prince had to cover up for him. How did that group of people disappear? Was there a need to think further?
Ah Qing looked at all this in a daze and almost couldn't react.
This was a big trouble in her opinion, but it was solved just like that?
She was not stupid. She could see that the Second Prince was telling everyone to not get involved in this matter.
"Come, take off this girl's shackles."
While Ah Qing was feeling conflicted, the Second Prince Yu Lie suddenly glanced in her direction and ordered with a smile on his face.
This was a forbidden weapon specially made by the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, and it was engraved with special array patterns and restrictions.
If it was forcibly opened by external force, it would only explode with a bang, and the captive would be destroyed in body and soul.
Therefore, most people wouldn't touch it, let alone open it.
Soon, with a clang, the heavy shackles fell to the ground, and the long-awaited Dharma power flowed in her body again.
Ah Qing sensed all this in a daze and felt that it was all too surreal.
Not only did the future heir of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty have a huge change in attitude towards her, but even the people around her looked at her with envy.
Envy a captive like her?
Although it hadn't been long since Ah Qing came to this world, she still understood what the future heir of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty represented.
To put it bluntly, he only needed to say a word to send many of the terrifying armies from before to attack the world she was in and occupy it.
Such a person was now standing in front of her and speaking to her nicely. It was completely different from his previous cold and heartless attitude.
Ah Qing subconsciously looked up at Gu Changge.
However, he just sat at the head of the table with his usual warm smile on his face. He sipped his tea unhurriedly and looked down as if everything was natural.
At this moment, Ah Qing noticed that everything in this world was centered around him.
She suddenly understood why Gu Changge could kill that group of people so easily. Even the powerful figures behind the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty could only pretend that they didn't know anything when they found out.
After leaving this place, Ah Qing was in a daze. The long-awaited peace made her feel that it was somewhat unreal.
Gu Changge's temporary palace was located in the northeast of the imperial palace. It was extremely beautiful and ethereal. There were all kinds of exotic flowers blooming, rockery, and pavilions. It was extremely majestic and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle.
After Ah Qing was brought here, she didn't see Gu Changge. A maid took her to wash her clothes and clean the mud and blood stains.
She didn't resist. She lay in the bath made of limestone. The surface of the bath was steaming with many beautiful petals falling down. Her black hair floated down like a mass of seaweed.
Since the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Demons and the disappearance of her father, she hadn't relaxed like this for a long time. She was extremely lazy.
Her mind was empty. She didn't want to think about anything.
After coming to this world, she became a captive and lived a dark life.
Every day, she thought about how to survive, find her father, and go home.
Clean water, food, spiritual fruits, and beautiful clothes. These things were far away from her, but now they were suddenly placed in front of her.
"It's really like a dream."
Ah Qing murmured softly. She didn't close her eyes. If this was a dream, when she opened her eyes, would everything burst like a bubble?
"These are the best healing panaceas. They are very effective for the scars on your arms."
At this time, the maid came over with a medicine box and put it beside the bath.
"Thank you."
Ah Qing took the ointment from the maid and thanked her politely. She looked at it and planned to apply it on her arms and other parts.
Although her injuries were healed, there were still some faint scars left on some parts. It would take a long time for them to disappear.
"You … you're welcome. This is what we should do. Besides, this is what Young Master Changge ordered us to do."
The maid was obviously flattered by Ah Qing's gratitude. She shook her head and said with a frightened expression.
In her opinion, since she was brought back by Gu Changge, the girl in front of her was no longer in the same world as her. The order of seniority couldn't be confused.
Ah Qing was silent for a while. Then she muttered, "Young Master Changge?"
"Is this his name?"
"You … don't know the name of Young Master Changge?"
Hearing this, the maid's eyes widened in disbelief. It was as if she had seen something unbelievable.
She didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart. It was sour and envious.
The girl in front of her didn't even know who Young Master Changge was? What did she do to be brought back by him?
Ah Qing nodded and didn't explain much.
"Can you tell me more about him? I know he's a good person. I owe him a big favor, "Ah Qing said.
The maid came back to her senses with difficulty. Her eyes were very complicated.
However, since she was chosen to be a maid here, she was naturally extraordinary.
Then, she quickly recovered and said with respect and admiration, "If you want to know more about Young Master Changge, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear all of it. However, you just need to remember one thing."
"What is it?" Ah Qing asked curiously.
"Young Master Changge is at the top of the Upper Realm in terms of cultivation and power."
"In the Upper Realm, as long as you mention that you're under Young Master Changge, even the Sect Masters of the Supreme Sects and Imperishable Sage Orthodoxy won't dare to make things difficult for you. You won't be able to do whatever you want, but no one will dare to provoke you. "The maid's eyes shone with longing.
"The top of the Upper Realm?"
Ah Qing was extremely shocked. Then, she fell silent again to digest the huge amount of information.
She had greatly underestimated Gu Changge's background. She had thought that his status was similar to that of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty's successor.
However, it seemed that even the real master of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty had to treat him as an equal.
How could such a person save her?
No wonder so many people were so envious of her.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to repay such a huge favor in my life." Ah Qing smiled bitterly.
"Young Master, the information is completely correct. There is indeed a stable space crack at the border of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty. It has been almost a year since it appeared."
"The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty has sent many troops to guard the surroundings. They claim that they are guarding against hostile forces, but in fact, they are hiding the entrance to the ancient world."
Deep in the palace, Gu Changge casually flipped through a jade slip in his hand as a confidant beside him reported respectfully.
"The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty is trying to hide this matter. It seems that they have already infiltrated that world. There should be some secrets hidden in it."
"The water is not muddy enough. Go and spread this news to attract the attention of the other forces."
Gu Changge nodded and pondered for a while before he spoke again.
The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty wanted to monopolize this ancient world, but Gu Changge would definitely not agree. He was looking for a suitable place to fish and enforce the law.
No matter how he looked at it, this world that had suddenly appeared seemed more suitable.
"Yes, Young Master!" The confidant nodded, then thought of something and asked.
"By the way, Young Master, the Fourth Miss of the Tuoba Mansion has been shouting to see you these days. She also said that she knows the person behind this is you. Do you want to get rid of her? "
Gu Changge put down the jade slip in his hand and said casually, "Then let her shout. We can't kill her now. We need to keep her for a while longer. "
"I understand."
Soon, the place became blurry, and the trusted aide turned into smoke and left.
Gu Changge pondered. He had given Tuoba Xiaoyao half a month's time, but half of it had already passed.
After seven days, if Tuoba Xiaoyao still couldn't hand over the Sky-wielding Sword, then Gu Changge would have to find another way.
However, he was still very curious about where Tuoba Xiaoyao got the secret method from.
He had been reading various ancient books these days and even asked someone to investigate, but there was no clue at all.
It seemed that what Tuoba Xiaoyao said was true. There was no solution in the Upper World?
"Could it be the secret method of the other 483 worlds?"
Gu Changge thought of another possibility. Could it be that before Tuoba Xiaoyao was reborn, he went to another world and got the secret method from that world?
"Forget it."
Gu Changge didn't continue to care about this matter. He ordered someone to bring Ah Qing here.
He still had many things to ask her.
"Benefactor."
Soon, under the guidance of the maid, Ah Qing, who had freshened up and dressed up, appeared in front of Gu Changge.
Compared to the first time he saw her, she was unkempt and dressed in coarse hemp clothes. Now, she was like a beautiful hibiscus.
She wore a plain, light-colored long dress. Her eyes were dark, her hair was loose, and her small face was beautiful. Her facial features were like finely picked works of art, delicate and fair. Her slightly raised eyebrows didn't lose a sense of fierceness.
No matter who it was, their eyes would light up when they saw such a fierce and beautiful young girl.
Although she knew Gu Changge's identity, she didn't have the restraint of ordinary people. She was very calm.
"Sit!"
Gu Changge smiled and gestured for her to sit.
Ah Qing didn't refuse. She sat opposite Gu Changge. Looking at the many delicacies, spiritual fruits, and all kinds of meat on the table, she forced herself to calm down and soon recovered.
She hadn't seen such delicacies for a long time.
Every single piece of meat exuded a power of Qi and Blood that made her feel a little apprehensive.
"There are only two of us in the hall. You can let down your guard."
Gu Changge smiled and said.
"I'm just used to it. I don't mean to doubt your kindness."
Ah Qing nodded. Then, as if she was afraid that Gu Changge would misunderstand, she couldn't help but explain.
"It's good to be vigilant. In this world, if you're not careful, you won't live long."
Gu Changge smiled, raised his cup, and gestured for her to eat.
"Thank you, benefactor. I won't stand on ceremony."
Ah Qing didn't refuse and didn't care about trifles. She also began to eat. She hadn't completely recovered her cultivation. The spiritual fruits and meat in front of her were exactly what she needed.
First, it was the ointment. Now, it was the meat that could help her recover her cultivation. Gu Changge's attentiveness surprised Ah Qing.
With his status, he didn't need to consider these things at all, but he was so thoughtful.
Was there really such a perfect person in this world?
"You should know why I asked you to come here, right?" Gu Changge asked.
"Benefactor, you said before that you wanted to know about the world I live in …" Ah Qing nodded and said.
Taking advantage of this time, she told some information about her world to Gu Changge.
It was not a secret that couldn't be told.
She didn't like to owe anything, especially when it came to saving her life. Of course, she didn't think that telling Gu Changge this information could offset his kindness.
But it was better to pay him back.
