Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

I wanted to do things secretly, but ended up showing my skills under other people's noses.

He wanted to loosen up his identity as a time traveler and didn't want this identity to become a time bomb that bound him to death. However, not only did he not make any progress, but he also pushed himself into a situation from which he could not escape.

All these things, a series of actions and choices in the past few days, made Li Huoyue sigh.

But what could she do? She couldn't stop and had nowhere to hide.

If you don't move forward, you will die.

"Why are you sighing?" Jiang Yunshu handed over a string of candied haws, "Eat something sweet, and you'll be much happier."

Li Huoyue didn't answer. Jiang Yunshu didn't know why she sighed, and she didn't understand why Jiang Yunshu was so happy all day.

"Why are you here again? Where do you want to take me today?"

"Based on your own conditions, you should know best whether what I said makes sense or not."

The imperial concubine continued to speak, and Li Huoyue glared at her with annoyance, but she didn't care.

"Including your brothers, all of them."

"Your eldest brother is in the court, your second brother is in business, your third brother..." The imperial concubine paused here and went on to talk about the next person, "Your fourth brother specializes in intelligence gathering, and your fifth brother happens to have a great talent and interest in medicine."

The imperial concubine helped Li Huoyue count the items one by one.

"Just eat your food, why bother?"

Li Huoyue originally wanted to give the imperial concubine an impatient look, so that she would give up and stop asking questions.

But when he saw the face that was highly similar to his mother's, Li Huoyue lost his temper instantly. He turned around and handed over a sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "Try it, it's very sweet."

The imperial concubine took it in some confusion. Li Huoyue's attitude was really like giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date.

"What's wrong with you?" The imperial concubine asked again while eating her cakes carefully.

"Nothing." Li Huoyue took another bite of the peach blossom cake, "I miss my mother."

The imperial concubine paused, as if her brain couldn't keep up. It took her a while to react before she asked, "Why do you look like... you like your mother quite a lot?"

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Li Huoyue was amused by the imperial concubine's question. "Why shouldn't I like my own mother?"

"You are not..." The imperial concubine was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

Li Huoyue was aroused by the unfinished words. While slowly eating the peach blossom cake, he guessed what the imperial concubine had not finished saying.

Judging from the facial similarity, Li Huoyue would not guess whether he and Li Lihuo were not related by blood.

A cheap aunt, but subconsciously thought that Li Huoyue would not like her mother, because...

Li Huoyue turned his head and glanced at the imperial concubine, thinking about something.

Does this aunt know that she is also a time traveler?

The imperial concubine shuddered for no reason.

After Li Huoyue finished eating the remaining peach blossom cake in his hand, he asked the imperial concubine in a calm tone:

"You seem to think that my mother and I don't have a good relationship?"

The imperial concubine swallowed and did not answer, pretending to be busy eating the cake in her hand.

"Can you tell me why you think so?"

Li Huoyue asked casually, not really thinking that the imperial concubine would tell him. After all, this was only the second time they had met, and they were not familiar with each other yet.

The imperial concubine found a suitable position and actually spoke, "You are very smart. I thought that a very strong person like you who was specially trained to complete the mission of others would enter the dark stage."

"What do you mean?" Li Huoyue was stunned and didn't quite understand, but it was obviously not a good thing.

The imperial concubine was also stunned. She looked at Li Huoyue quietly in the dim light, and then suddenly laughed, her laughter sounded sour and helpless.

"So you haven't noticed yet. I was wondering why you still have feelings for your mother."

Listening to the Imperial Concubine's words, Li Huoyue didn't know how to react for a moment. She could vaguely understand what the Imperial Concubine meant, but subconsciously she didn't dare to believe it and was very reluctant to think about it further.

The imperial concubine would not care about Li Huoyue's current mentality. She would just say whatever she wanted to say, and put it all out in the open. She was not at all like Li Huoyue, a chronic riddle-monger.

"You were specially trained by them. From the moment you were born, it was for the victory of the travelers. Don't you feel it yourself?"

The imperial concubine's frankness was like a bomb thrown at Li Huoyue at random, making Li Huoyue, who received the information, extremely uneasy.

"I see you are really full and have the energy to talk nonsense here." Li Huoyue stood up, feeling inexplicably angry, but still instinctively concealed his emotions and did not show a trace on his face.

The imperial concubine chuckled softly, and the iron cage she leaned on became her most solid backrest. She looked at Li Huoyue leisurely.

It’s like watching a game collapse, or like enjoying a chaotic drama.

She looked through the cage for a long time, but still couldn't see Li Huoyue's expression.

Was it because of trust, or was it just false information?

The girl opposite was too sincere and defenseless, and Li Huoyue couldn't tell what she was thinking for a moment.

"Then how do we get in touch with them?" Li Huoyue asked naturally.

Huang Ruochu raised his wrist, revealing a silver bracelet. The bracelet was very simple in style, with only a red stone the size of a fingernail inlaid on it.

There is a white mark in the redstone, which is in the shape of a Moss Ubbe ring with a line running through it. The whole mark looks like a string of candied haws that has been eaten and thrown on the ground.

"Usually they contact me, and I don't have any channels to contact them actively." Huang Ruochu said, pointing to the red stone on his wrist, "This was originally used to call for help, but I really have no other way to contact them."

After Huang Ruochu finished speaking, he was about to press the redstone.

Even in the dim lakeside, the mark can be clearly seen.

Li Huoyue suddenly stopped Huang Ruochu with such great force that Huang Ruochu felt like his wrist was about to break.

“What the hell!!! Aaaaaaaa!!! It hurts!! What are you doing?!!! Let go, let go!!!”

Li Huoyue was too familiar with this mark.

This is the mother's prop mark.

Was it because of trust, or was it just false information?

The girl opposite was too sincere and defenseless, and Li Huoyue couldn't tell what she was thinking for a moment.

"Then how do we get in touch with them?" Li Huoyue asked naturally.
