Even though the people outside were numerous and skilled in martial arts, once they realized the prowess of those on this side, they did not linger in battle. When they saw half of their numbers were wiped out, they withdrew immediately.
Gu Qingheng looked at Chai Qin, who stood before him with a sword in hand, his expression unprecedentedly somber.
"Young Master, I..." Chai Qin trembled under his gaze.
"One more time, and don't appear before me again." Gu Qingheng didn't tell her to leave immediately; after all, they were already halfway through their journey, so he would give her another chance.
Chai Qin knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Young Master."
Gu Qingheng turned and returned to the room. As for the corpses outside, one of the skills the Shadow Guards learned was handling such things. With Dao Xuzi's Corpse Dissolving Water and Tang Wanqian's carrion beetles, dealing with them was effortlessly easy, and they ensured not a trace would be left.
