The second day.

At the entrance of the inn.

The escort bureau was making preparations to depart.

Gu Qing’an sighed when she observed the surrounding escorts appearing terrified and hostile.

When they came together this morning, Gu Qing’an and Lin Yao told Chief Lin about last night’s incident, and Gu Qing’an offered to let her pay Wang Zhi’s pension.

Despite this, the remaining eacorts continued to voluntarily avoid Gu Qing’an.

After all, people can’t come back from the dead.

Yesterday, a good young man, who followed her out on a trip, became nothing but a corpse. How could it not make people’s hearts palpitate?

Gu Qing’an was also a little helpless.

Forget it, anyway, I’ll just have to bear it for a while. Black River City is just right ahead, so it doesn’t matter.

As she was contemplating, a large group of people with a couple stretchers rushed over from a distance.

“Stop, you caravan escorts with a human face and a beast’s heart, actually killed Lichang and his family in the middle of the night!” The first person was a man in his thirties with a ruddy complexion and a savage gleam in his eyes.

“Today, I, Song Sanhu, demand an explanation!”

On those stretchers were the corpses of Lichang and his family, with their necks showing a bizarre amplitude.

There were a few villagers who got up early, and they were a little scared when they saw this scene.

“Lichang is dead!!”

“This man is Song Sanhu. He is the son of the Song family patriarch. How did these escorts have offended him? This is a big problem.”

“It is said that last time the boy of the Li family offended him and he was beaten to death on the street.”

Some of the villagers exclaimed, while others stood watching the show from a distance.

Chief Lin frowned and stood up.

“There must be a misunderstanding, Brother Song. All of us are dedicated caravan escorts.. How could we do such a thing?”

“You entered the village yesterday afternoon, and in the evening, Lichang’s family was wiped off. Who else could have done it if it wasn’t you?” Song Sanhu was aggressive, with more than a dozen family members behind him carrying shovels and cutting tools, their eyes blazing fiercely.

“You rushed out and a whole family was killed…” Many escorts’ eyes flickered and looked at Gu Qing’an.

Last night, didn’t this girl go out?

Song Sanhu noticed the escorts’s gaze, and when he saw Gu Qing’an’s face, he was stunned, and couldn’t help but gulp.

How could such a beautiful woman exist in this world? He yelled aloud inside his head.

In order to concentrate, Song Sanhu turned off his brain and diverted the attention of a specific part of his lower body. “You are a black-hearted woman who plotted and murdered Lichang’s family!” he yelled at Gu Qing’an, regardless of the truth.

The surrounding caravan escorts retreated one after another, and only Lin Yao stood up with righteous indignation.

“Last night, Sister Gu went out to kill and get rid of demons. You falsely accused her of a crime.”

“Kill and get rid of demons? I think your sister Gu herself looks like a demon girl!” Song Sanhu roared.

Lin Yao looked around at the escorts who were standing still and stomped her foot angrily. “Why don’t you say anything? Sister Gu didn’t kill anyone!”

Gu Qing’an’s expression was calm, and she did not care about the indifference shown by the caravan escorts around her.

Strangers coming together by chance did not look Gu Qing’an in the eyes, but she was touched when she saw that Lin Yao was willing to speak for her.

“Yao’er.” Chief Lin said as he was worried when he saw his daughter come out. He gritted his teeth and looked like he was feeling stressed while speaking.

If they offended the Song family, their caravan would no longer be welcomed in Song Village.

“There is no need for Chief Lin to be embarrassed.”

Gu Qing’an protected Lin Yao behind her, sneered, and stepped forward.

She gently regarded the Song family and stated, “I will only convey two key points.”

“First and foremost, how Lichang died is unrelated to me.”

“Secondly, I am the eldest daughter of the Black River Gu Clan, therefore please do not annoy me.”

“Gu Clan!” Unlike the uneducated folks around him, Song Sanhu knew the strength of the Gu Clan, causing his pupil to shrink.

Near Black River City, there were 29 villages in four counties with a population of over one million. The Song family was nothing more than a powerful force in village, whereas the Gu family was one of Black River City’s four Clans.

Song Sanhu was a little afraid, but looking at Gu Qingan’s beautiful face, his eyes flashed ferociously. “What Gu Family? How could the eldest daughter of Gu Family mix with these caravan escorts.”

“Take her down for me.”

Gu Qing’an raised her eyebrow and was afraid that the man had gone crazy.

Seeing the ferocious crowd coming towards her body, Gu Qing’an stood immobile, as if she were terrified

Song Sanhu was already thinking about tonight’s events in his mind.

At that time, Gu Qing’an smiled unexpectedly.

She glanced at the body on the ground, and said, “I really didn’t kill these people.”

Plop!

The long knife in Gu Qing’an’s hand turned into a bolt of lightning, suddenly spanning several metres and slashing at the two village man in front of her.

Poof!

Two heads flew through the air.

Gu Qing’an and Lin Yao retreated slightly, avoiding the fountain of blood.

She shook the blood off the knife, appeared as calm as water, and gazed at the silent Song family.

“Because…… this is how I kill people.”

Several caravan escorts around were taken aback.

Song Sanhu opened his mouth, but no words came out. Looking at the human head still rolling on the ground, and then at Gu Qing’an, who had a calm face, his legs began to tremble, as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water, and he fell to his knees on the ground.#PLEASEREADTHISCHAPTERATWONDERNOVELS.COM

During the first time, Gu Qing’an turned pale and trembled, but she did not lose composure after witnessing the death again.

Even she thought it was odd.

Gu Qingan remained calm as the rest of the Song family crept away from her. “It’s incredibly fragile.”

She didn’t even use her retribution skill, but she felt as if she had just cut open two hemp ropes and ended two lives with a slight wave.

Lin Yao’s eyes sparkled, and her face was flushed. “It’s so close.” She looked up slightly behind Gu Qingan and could smell the fragrance of her black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.

Gu Qingan looked at Song Sanhu with cold eyes, and said, “The death of Lichang has nothing to do with me.”

Of course, if you insist that I did it, I don’t mind if you and your family perish alongside the chief.

Song Sanhu nodded as a pecking chicken, clearly understanding intent from Gu Qingan’s eyes.

Gu Qing’an had no further murderous intentions. Once she had demonstrated her might, she could be reasonable.

Gu Qing’an was not interested in being a mad slaughter, but could a local powerful landowner be sensible in such a destitute and remote area?

She simply and neatly killed the two townsmen, so that the Song clan could realise her strength and immediately fast-forward to the confession link. This would stop the things from escalating to the point of no return, which was already a manifestation of Gu Qing’an’s benevolence.

“As for the real killer,” Gu Qingan said calmly, “I probably have some ideas.”

Liu Xingxiu was not the only one who had the strength in that village last night.

Gu Qingan did not want to take the blame, so she gave a brief explanation of the cause and effect, took them to see Liu Xingxiu’s remains, but kept the relationship between Liu Xingxiu and Liu Lan hidden.

When everything was done, she had no intention of staying any longer, so she left the village with the caravan escorts. However, after this, the escorts looked even more fearful and respectful.

It was worth mentioning that Gu Qingan saw Liu Lan in the corner of the caravan, glued to Lin Yao.

…….

Half a day later.

Jiang Yanlan looked at Song Sanhu, who knelt and begged for mercy, and frowned.

“So my brother Liu was murdered by a woman named Gu Qing’an?”

“Do you know where she went?”

Song Sanhu hurriedly pointed out a direction.

He asked as he sighed at his misfortune.

“Your excellency, can you put me down?”

“Well, good.” Jiang Yanlan smiled.

Plop

She let go of her hand and Song Sanhu fell to the ground. Then, she muttered to herself.

“Gu Qing’an? Black River City, Gu Family?”
