"We were actually forced to do all of this."
"Previously, Wu Cheng's subordinate came to find us and spoke about this matter."
"At first, the three of us had the same attitude. We all refused and disagreed with the course of action they proposed."
"But unexpectedly, when Wu Lin heard our refusal, he became extremely angry."
"He began to threaten us, insisting that we must agree."
"At that time, we still were unwilling to do such a thing."
As Wu Lei explained, he looked at Gu Qianying with utmost sincerity to increase the credibility of his words.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianying frowned.
"Oh, since you all initially refused, why did you agree to this matter later on?"
"I find this matter quite peculiar. You should explain it clearly to me, otherwise, I won't believe you."
Gu Qianying remained somewhat suspicious.
After all, there was no evidence for what they were saying now.
Wu Lei also detected Gu Qianying's suspicion, but he did not rush.
He looked at Wu Xiaolan and Wu Ming. Both nodded at Wu Lei,
signaling their agreement for Wu Lei to tell the truth to Divine Doctor Gu.
"I believe that after you hear what we have to say next, you will understand why we agreed."
Wu Lei explained to Gu Qianying at a steady pace.
Gu Qianying hugged her arms and found a place to sit with Su Cheng and Xiao Yihao.
She prepared to listen to what Wu Lei was about to explain next.
Wu Lei also composed himself and continued to explain to Gu Qianying and the others.
"The reason we agreed to this demand is entirely because Wu Lin captured our families to threaten us."
"He told us that if we didn't agree, our families would never return."
"Family is our only weakness."
"So when we learned that he had captured our families to threaten us, we truly had no choice but to agree."
Wu Lei's emotions were very low as he spoke about this matter.
After finishing, he worried that Gu Qianying might not believe them, so he immediately tugged at Wu Xiaolan and the other two beside him.
"If you have any doubts about what I've just explained, you can ask them."
Wu Xiaolan and Wu Ming quickly nodded.
"That's right, this Wu Lin is truly too much."
"When he saw that he couldn't easily make us agree to his demand, he decided to threaten us with our families. We had no choice but to agree."
"Everything we've told you just now is the absolute truth. If you don't believe what we've said, you can investigate."
Wu Xiaolan, fearing that Gu Qianying wouldn't believe them, immediately swore an oath to Gu Qianying.
Hearing the words of the three, Gu Qianying frowned.
Su Cheng also knitted his brows.
"Since you say your families were captured by this person named Wu Lin to threaten you, which is why you agreed to this matter."
"Then I have a question. How could Wu Lin have such audacity to dare to do such a thing?"
Su Cheng stared intently at the three of them.
"To be honest, ever since Wu Cheng left the tribe, Wu Lin has been in charge of our tribe."
"That's why he dared to do this. We had no way to stop him."
Wu Lei explained helplessly to Su Cheng and the others.
Su Cheng, who had been somewhat confused, suddenly understood after hearing this explanation.
"So that's how it is."
"I was wondering how a subordinate could have so much power."
Gu Qianying said with a frown.
Initially, Gu Qianying hadn't thought much about it.
But after hearing their answers, Gu Qianying felt that the matter was becoming increasingly complicated.
"This Wu Lin is not someone to be trifled with."
"From what we've told you, you should know that Wu Lin is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."
Wu Xiaolan reminded Gu Qianying with some concern.
"Hearing you say that, he indeed seems like a formidable person."
Gu Qianying said, then fell into deep thought.
"I have something else important to tell you."
"I believe the information I'm about to share with you should be quite important."
Wu Xiaolan looked at Gu Qianying with some hesitation.
"Oh, since you have something important to tell us, then tell us what it is."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianying became even more curious.
"Don't have so many reservations. Whether you believe what you say is our business."
Seeing Wu Xiaolan's hesitation, Gu Qianying spoke again.
Hearing this, Wu Xiaolan was indeed less hesitant than before.
"In that case, I will tell you the truth."
"In fact, most of our tribe members have been poisoned by a Gu."
"Our tribe is no longer what you knew it to be."
"If you still intend to go to our tribe, I hope you will reconsider."
"As you know, people who have been poisoned by Gu have no consciousness of their own. They do whatever they do without any control."
The three of Wu Xiaolan advised Gu Qianying and the others with concern.
After hearing Wu Xiaolan's words, Gu Qianying pondered for a moment.
"Su Cheng, after hearing what they said, do you still dare to accompany me to the Wu tribe?"
Gu Qianying turned to Su Cheng and asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"Wherever you go, I go."
"After all, as a man, if I were more timid than you, wouldn't people laugh at me?"
Su Cheng replied with a smile.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Gu Qianying also smiled.
"To be honest, hearing you say that your tribe members have all been poisoned by Gu makes me even more eager to see it."
"Although we know the dangers ahead, we are still prepared to continue towards Mount Wu Yin."
Gu Qianying said with great determination.
