“Master and Madam, are you both alright?”

“Good disciple, are you unharmed?”

The three black-clothed individuals, who were restrained, were taken aback when they saw so many people. One of them exclaimed, “You weren’t affected by the sedatives?”

This was impossible!

Their sedatives could incapacitate even seventh-grade arcane beasts, let alone humans.

How could they remain unaffected?

“Are you referring to this?”

Gu Xiaonan took out a piece of silver charcoal.

The three black-clothed individuals’ pupils contracted.

They had been discovered!

However, this silver charcoal, when burned alone, was not poisonous. How could they have suspected foul play?

With a disdainful expression, Gu Xiaonan shook his head. “1 stopped playing such petty tricks when I was three years old. You guys actually have the audacity to use something like this.”

Wei Yuantong chuckled and said, “Clever disciple, someone as intelligent as you doesn’t understand the ways of ordinary people. Considering their intellect, thinking of tampering with charcoal used for heating is already a bit clever.”

Gu Xiaonan thought about it and realized it made sense. There weren’t many geniuses like him in the world, and these three individuals might be acting foolish due to their limited intelligence.

The three of them glared back angrily.

They felt disdain in Gu Xiaonan’s words!

“If you were to keep glaring like that your eyeballs might fall out!” Gu Xiaonan shook his head, “Being foolish is one thing, but even in appearance, you don’t seem to have the composure to be real villains.”

One of the black-clothed individuals said sternly, “We don’t need your judgment, kid. If you’re smart, release us immediately, or you won’t leave Yeyu City alive!”

Gu Xiaonan, with a fearless expression on his young face, turned to his mother and asked, “Mother, are we being threatened?”

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “It seems so.”

Confused, Gu Xiaonan blinked his clear, large eyes and said, “But they are already prisoners. How can they have the courage and confidence to threaten us?”

“That’s a question for them,” she replied, her gaze casually sweeping over the three individuals.

Their black cloths had been removed, revealing three plain faces.

Were these three individuals the culprits behind the dozens of recent disappearances in Yeyu City?

Gu Xiaonan, adopting a conciliatory tone, questioned the three black-clothed individuals.

The three of them remained tight-lipped.

“It appears you’re as stubborn as a mule!” Gu Xiaonan concluded with a hint of mockery.

Being insulted like that, the three men’s expressions were self-evident.

The one who spoke earlier continued, “Yeyu City is not your territory. Don’t think that capturing us will ensure your safety.”

“Why don’t you tell us then, how do you plan to make us feel unsafe? And how do you intend to prevent us from leaving Yeyu City?” Gu Qingluan sat at the edge of the bed, her legs crossed, gently swaying her right foot.

She appeared nonchalant, not taking the three individuals seriously.

The three men exchanged glances, and the one who had just spoken ominously said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Ignoring their attempts at mystification, Gu Qingluan got straight to the point, “How soon is it? I don’t have the leisure to wait for you. There’s only one path before you now. Come clean. Are the disappearances in the city your doing? Who’s behind you? What’s the purpose of capturing so many children and women?”

The three individuals kept their mouths tightly shut, refusing to reveal a single word.

Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “If you cooperate, you might suffer less. But from what 1 can see, you don’t seem like the cooperative type. In that case, I’ll have to send you on your way.”

She held a silver needle between her fingertips and shot it at one of them.

The silver needle pierced the man’s neck, and he fell down lifeless.

The other two black-clothed individuals were taken aback by this sight. Their muscles tensed, and their eyes were alert, involuntarily following the movement of the silver needle in Gu Qingluan’s hand.

Gu Qingluan assessed the two of them carefully, “Which one of you wants to die first?”

Both of them remained silent.

Gu Qingluan continued, “You don’t look that old. Are you really willing to throw your lives away like this? Those who confess voluntarily can avoid death..”
