Gu Qingheng looked at Flame, though separated by a mask, he knew the other was not lying.
"You're just using this excuse to catch people."
"Indeed, a noble reason." Flame laughed, "The Huaka Tribe is one of the larger tribes in Miaojiang, never submitting, but I cannot kill all of them, so I can only capture their leader. This way, the whole tribe will be in chaos."
Gu Qingheng sneered slightly.
"Let's go, it's dinner time." Flame gestured, "Tonight, I am hosting a banquet for General Gu, and of course, some of your friends are here as well."
Gu Qingheng's heart tightened a bit, but he didn't show it.
"Don't worry, they didn't resist, so nothing happened." Flame seemed to know Gu Qingheng's thoughts, "They miss you very much, especially His Highness King Yun."
Back in the previous hall, indeed, he saw Qi Jingyun, and there was also Zhang Tiankuo and that guard named Yun Lan of Qi Jingyun, but there was no sign of Ran Lei, Gu Qiao, or Qi Jingyun's Yun Bai.
