Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 356

"...No one sent me here, uh——" Sang Fuqing replied to Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue increased his strength.

Sang Fuqing felt like several of his bones had been broken, but he had no time to care. He endured the pain and spoke with difficulty: "... I... I dare not lie to you, ah ah ah, they are ah ah ah... step by step, uh ah ah ah - step by step - pushing you into the pit..."

"They?" Li Huoyue didn't use many words, just repeated these two words with a questioning tone.

Sang Fuqing tried to move, but sure enough, he didn't budge at all under Li Huoyue's grip.

"...Can you please let me go first? I can't run away anyway..."

The fifth brother also came over at the right time and hesitantly advised: "Sixth sister, how about... don't..."

He didn't dare to say anything about Li Huoyue, even though he was considered Li Huoyue's brother, so he had to change his angle and said, "...this Mr. Sang's health is not that good..."

Li Huoyue's cold eyes, which were originally staring at Sang Fuqing, moved to Lao Wu's face. Lao Wu quickly shut up and said no more.

With a cold snort, Li Huoyue still chose to lift his foot. Sang Fuqing had little strength now, but he knew the situation and got up immediately, fearing that he would miss this opportunity.

Li Huoyue spoke again to Sang Fuqing who was tidying up his appearance: "It seems that you know a lot about me. How about making a deal?"

Sang Fuqing smiled bitterly. He had no right to refuse. He nodded and said, "Of course, Sang will tell you everything he knows, but..."

Li Huoyue frowned slightly.

Sang Fuqing continued, "Why don't you go outside and take a look first?"

"What do you mean?" Li Huoyue frowned even deeper.

"You go first. I won't kill you today." Li Huoyue weighed the matter and decided to check where the people who came today finally went.

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Sang Fuqing nodded, trying to look well-behaved and obedient, and not threatening.

Li Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't you think this is contradictory?"

After saying that, Li Huoyue had already started thinking about how to deal with Sang Fuqing later, and the leaves in his hand were squeezed a little harder.

The clan leader knew that he would be given an official title, so he asked Sang Fuqing's mother not to cancel the engagement. However, he controlled Xu Jiao'er so that he could be given an official title smoothly. The "cooperation" he mentioned at the beginning was just bullshit.

You came here late at night just to talk nonsense?

Li Huoyue didn't believe it.

Sang Fuqing's attention was completely on Li Huoyue's hand. Seeing the leaves in Li Huoyue's hand slowly being clenched, Sang Fuqing's heart also tightened.

He was totally unaware of what was wrong with his words. He laughed dryly and replied, "Haha... no way..."

After hearing the answer, Li Huoyue loosened his grip, letting the leaf slip from his hand, and turned around to return to his seat.

But, people cannot be killed now.

Kill him the day after tomorrow.

Li Huoyue thought to himself.

Before the leaf fell to the ground, Sang Fuqing's face changed and he jumped up. With everyone's eyes still on him, he did something that no one would have thought of -

I knelt down instinctively.

Hearing a "bang" sound behind him, Li Huoyue turned around in surprise.

He is worthy of being the former top scholar in the imperial examination. Even though he has lost the youthful vigor and vitality he had in the past, his straight back and the handsome face of a scholar make him look dignified even when he is kneeling.

Sang Fuqing raised his head, ignoring the gazes of others, and asked almost pleadingly: "Can you... not kill me first?"

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Sang Fuqing nodded, trying to look well-behaved and obedient, and not threatening.

Li Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't you think this is contradictory?" "She doesn't seem to be convinced. It looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue stepped back, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.
