Gu Qingping took a deep breath to calm himself. He was a man of learning, not some hot-headed brute.
He glanced at Xiao Yunjing. He didn't know how this man had gotten involved with those bandits, but considering everything that had happened in the deep mountains, this man was surely no ordinary person.
His tone softened. "If you have the chance, go back and visit your mother. She truly misses you. If she knew you were here, she would have rushed over without a second thought."
"Alright. You should return to the Capital City. Don't wander around aimlessly; it's not as peaceful outside as you imagine. Also, forget everything you've learned here. Speaking of it will do you no good," Gu Qingli nodded, offering her advice kindly.
If he dared to utter a single word, Xiao Yunjing could silence him before he could say another. All I can do is advise him to watch his step.
Gu Qingping was no fool. When it came to matters of life and death, he knew to keep his lips sealed. He nodded.
