Chapter 301: Sworn Oath
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Those who cultivated had good eyesight.
Even though the lighting in the alley was dim, they could still see clearly that the silver-faced man standing in the middle of the alley was their target!
The two of them brightened up.
Haha, what a twist of fate!
Observing their expressions, Gu Qingluan couldn’t suppress a chuckle. She pondered over the ident.i.ty of the individual who had dispatched these subordinates. Hadn’t they yet discerned the roles of the predator and the prey in this situation?
It’s quite a miracle that they’ve survived with this level of intelligence!
She got straight to the point, “Are you going to confess on your own, or do I have to beat it out of you?”
The two of them didn’t waste a word and charged straight at her.
Seeing their choice, Gu Qingluan sighed lightly. “Why waste each other’s energy?”
She stood still and didn’t move. When the two men approached, her figure suddenly disappeared from where she had been.
Crack! Crack!
Following two successive collisions, both men who pursued her were launched into the air. One collided with the wall before sliding down, while the other plummeted directly to the ground.
Gu Qingluan leisurely walked up to the nearest person. Before he could get up, she stepped on his chest.
He was forced to fall back, his back hitting the ground, his face twisted in pain. “Are you ready to talk?” Gu Qingluan looked down at him, her voice chilly. “Your Excellency, have you misunderstood? We have no intention of hurting anyone…”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt an irresistible force in his chest, as if a heavy hammer had struck him. It hurt so much that he gasped for air, and his face turned bright red.
Gu Qingluan said indifferently, “No need for useless words. I don’t have much patience today.”
The other person struggled to get up from the ground and hurriedly said, “Please, Your Excellency, spare us. We really just want to ask for your help in saving someone.”
“Oh? This is the first time I’ve witnessed a ‘request’ being presented in such a manner,” Gu Qingluan remarked, her eyes gleaming coldly. Her eyes, reminiscent of peach blossoms, s.h.i.+mmered with a subtle radiance that made it challenging for anyone to meet her gaze directly.
The person who met her gaze felt an invisible pressure, and his breath was momentarily stifled.
He gritted his teeth and said with great effort, “I’m sorry if Your Excellency misunderstood. It was our mistake. We really just came on our master’s orders to ask Your Excellency for help.”
Gu Qingluan asked, “Who is your master?”
“Please forgive us, Your Excellency, but we can’t say it now.”
Gu Qingluan smiled. “It seems we don’t need to continue this conversation.”
A glint of light flickered in her hand, and as the two men observed, it appeared to be descending toward the man at her feet.
The other person hurriedly shouted, “Your Excellency, please spare us. We really just want to ask for your help. If you don’t believe us, we can swear to the heavens!”
In this world, swearing a solemn oath held great significance.
Once you broke your oath, you would be punished by the heavens.
Afraid that Gu Qingluan wouldn’t talk to him any longer, the man immediately swore, “I swear on my life that we really came on our master’s orders to ask Your Excellency for help. If there is a single word of falsehood, may 1 not die a peaceful death!”
“If what you say is false, your master won’t die a peaceful death.” Gu Qingluan smiled.
The man’s face turned pale when he heard this, and he said with difficulty, “Your Excellency, you are making it difficult for me.”
“If you’re not lying, why should it be difficult for you?”
The man was at a loss for words.
This was the truth, but using his master to make an oath like this was a great disrespect to his master, who was a highly respected figure. If his master found out, he might lose his head.
Gu Qingluan impatiently said, “Are you going to swear or not? If not, the two of you can go meet the King of h.e.l.l together!”
“I swear!” The man exclaimed urgently when he heard Gu Qingluan’s words. “I swear, if there is even a half-lie in what I just said, my master… my master…”
Under Gu Qingluan’s cold, penetrating gaze, he closed his eyes and shouted, “May he not die a peaceful death!”
Gu Qingluan smiled. “Very well, I trust you since you’re so sincere.”
She withdrew her foot and turned to walk out of the alley.
The man hesitated for a moment, then realized what had happened, and shouted in confusion, “Your Excellency, please wait! Didn’t you believe me?”
“I believed you, but 1 have the right to choose whether to help or not,” Gu Qingluan replied without looking back..
