The leader of that group of ancient martial artists had been on a few missions with Wei Jingyu, so he had seen Gu Zhiqi and naturally recognized her.

After he finished speaking, the leader remembered something and added, "Oh, no, it’s to pick you and Young Master Lu up."

Lu Xingzhe: "..."

This remark was actually unnecessary.

Upon hearing the first sentence, Gu Zhiqi was still somewhat confused about how Wei Jingyu knew she had been captured.

But after hearing the second sentence, Gu Zhiqi understood.

Lu Yuzhou and Wei Jingyu knew each other, so it seemed Lu Yuzhou asked Wei Jingyu to come and pick them up.

Nodding to the ancient martial artists of the Wei Family, Gu Zhiqi then said, "We are all on the same side."

As soon as Gu Zhiqi spoke, the Wei family members all put away their combat stances. The leader glanced at the man in the suit, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, while feeling a bit regretful.

Had they arrived late, and their job of picking up Miss Gu was snatched away?

But...

If he wasn’t mistaken, these people were from the Heavenly Domain Pavilion. So how did Miss Gu know people from the Heavenly Domain Pavilion?

He was puzzled but didn’t voice his question.

The group continued to move forward, and the director and Xier walking beside them could barely step normally.

Especially Xier, whose heart was filled with shock, regret, and fear.

Initially, just one Heavenly Domain Pavilion person was enough to make one’s heart race. Now, the Wei Family was also here.

He felt that he didn’t have much time left.

"Miss Gu."

"Master!"

As soon as they reached the entrance of the Dark Prison, two voices rang out.

These voices caused everyone to raise their eyes and look in the direction of the sound.

At this sight, the director and Xier almost lost their balance.

The three powerful families had gathered here.

Before everyone could react, Patriarch Lan appeared beside Gu Zhiqi like a gust of wind, "Master, is it really you?"

As he spoke, he attempted to give Gu Zhiqi a bear hug.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi quietly dodged.

Patriarch Lan’s hug fell through, and he paused momentarily, then looked at Gu Zhiqi with a face full of grievance, "Master~ Are you not acknowledging your disciple?"

Everyone: ?

Was it reasonable for someone who appeared to be in their thirties to call a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl ’master’?

It wasn’t reasonable, absolutely not reasonable.

Everyone watching, except for the Yan family head, had a complex expression.

Even Gu Zhiqi, the person involved, felt somewhat complicated inside.

What kind of disciple was this?

"Who are you?" Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds, then looked at Patriarch Lan and asked.

Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, some uninformed bystanders breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking it was a case of mistaken identity.

"Master, it’s me, Yengyeng~ Your favorite disciple," Lan Yeng spoke coquettishly.

Gu Zhiqi: ?

Yingying? Yenging?

"Miss Gu, I’m late. They didn’t bother you... or you all, right?" Seeing Lu Xingzhe and Qiao Qingshu beside Gu Zhiqi, the Yan family head finally added ’you all’.

Gu Zhiqi didn’t know Yan Zhongjing, and with doubts in mind, she shook her head at him.

Lan Yeng, seeing Yan Zhongjing stole Gu Zhiqi’s attention, glared at him, then quietly moved next to Gu Zhiqi, "Master, were you wronged?"

"These people are so bold to dare detain you."

As she spoke, she successfully hooked her arm around Gu Zhiqi’s.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi paused, and eventually didn’t pull her arm away.

The director and Xier, who were following alongside, had wiped their sweat countless times.

The head of the Yan family had to respectfully address the other as Miss Gu, while Patriarch Lan directly called her ’Master’.

So, just who did they capture?
