"Stop!"
At that moment, a loud shout rang out.
Gu Sheng paused his actions and turned his head to see Qing Shan rushing over anxiously, his face full of pleading.
Qing Shan rushed in front of Gu Sheng and suddenly fell to his knees, his voice trembling as he said, "Big brother, I'm begging you, spare Qingmu!"
Gu Sheng's brows furrowed tightly, his gaze oscillating between Qing Shan and Qingmu, the dagger in his hand trembling slightly.
"Qing Shan, do you know what you're doing? You spare someone like him today, and in the future, the three of us will know no peace."
Gu Sheng said coldly.
"Big brother, I understand Qingmu. While he has erred, he doesn't deserve death. I'm willing to trade my life for his."
Tears welled in Qing Shan's eyes as he spoke resolutely.
"You..."
Gu Sheng was at a loss for words.
He knew Qing Shan valued loyalty and righteousness, but he hadn't expected him to plead for Qingmu.
"Qing Shan, you're forcing my hand."
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
