Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

King Liang knew the layout of this house.

Not only is there a shrine, but the paintings covering the walls also indicate that the design of the room will not pose any fire hazard.

What’s more crucial is that even though he knew the house was on fire, Coach Zuo still stood at the door without moving.

"Did you set the fire on purpose?" King Liang thought about it and finally came up with the biggest possibility.

Coach Zuo looked at King Liang with a complicated expression, feeling a bit helpless as if he was disappointed in his son, and also a bit speechless as he didn't know how to respond.

Liang Wang also received the look from Coach Zuo and cleared his throat awkwardly, "...Actually, I was just saying it casually."

Coach Zuo didn't bother to care about him, but he thought it was really weird for him to be standing here, so he simply took King Liang away. He thought that after Li Huoyue set the fire inside, there shouldn't be anything else.

He looked back at the room which was already ablaze with flames. The dazzling fire emitted waves of heat, and fine smoke and dust flowed out from every gap, interfering with people's vision.

It's really lively tonight.

Coach Zuo tightened his right hand that had just pushed the door. He didn't know why he subconsciously covered up for Li Huoyue.

I have always remained neutral.

"Let's go and take a look at the Bindi Courtyard." Coach Zuo diverted King Liang's attention.

He couldn't figure out why Li Huoyue didn't avoid it. According to Li Huoyue's daily movements, it was impossible for him to come into contact with things like the branches of the sacred tree, and it was impossible for him to set up a plan in advance to destroy the shrine.

In other words, she had no idea that smashing any branch of the sacred tree would attract people from above to eliminate the perpetrator.

Then why was she so determined that she refused to leave even when the door was pushed open again?

Could it be that he guessed that he would help cover it up?

In Li Huoyue's eyes, this was the first time they met. How could they bet on such a probability when they first met?

“You’re wrong…”

Before Prince Liang finished speaking, the sky above Prince Liang's Palace suddenly lit up for a moment.

"...?" King Liang frowned in confusion. "...What the hell is going on? Another time traveler exploded?"

The bright light flashed and disappeared.

Coach Zuo had seen this light many times before. He only needed to take a glance to know what it was. "Let's go. It's just a signal from the messengers. So many people have come, and they still want to..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Yes, so many people came, but Li Huoyue, who destroyed the shrine, was not caught. Why would they summon more people?

Before he could figure it out, the sky brightened again for a moment, like a flash of lightning, shorter than the previous one, but obviously brighter.

It's the team's signal light!

"What the hell?" Prince Liang was at a loss. "What treasure did our palace produce?"

Coach Zuo felt uneasy, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, but he had no idea what was going on.

He murmured back, "What kind of treasure could it be?"

Although it is a royal palace, they are not the only royal nobles in the inner city. The palace is so small, who would care about those...

and many more.

There really is a difference!

"Has anyone been sent from the kitchen?" Coach Zuo felt a pang of anxiety.

King Liang sighed, "Don't worry."

Coach Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this kid was quite obedient.

Another flash of light appeared, weaker than the previous two signals, but more lasting, and it lasted for five or six seconds before gradually dimming.

Coach Zuo is unsure, and this is a signal from the league.

What? Are we having a dinner at his house tonight? So many people are coming!

Coach Zuo was still worried and glanced at King Liang again, "Are you sure you've taken care of everything?"

"Aiya!" Prince Liang waved his hands impatiently. "You don't trust your own people? They're guarding there, don't worry about them—ahhh—why the hell are you hitting me?!!"

Coach Zuo gritted his teeth and slapped King Liang on the back again, "Is this how you deal with it?!"

"You only know how to find fault with me!" King Liang was so angry that he didn't even bother to boast about himself. "I asked you to arrange for someone to take care of my son's affairs, but did you do anything? You always blame me! Is your affairs the most important, and I can't have my own important affairs? Or will my important affairs never compare to yours?!!!!!!"

King Liang clenched his fists, roared angrily, and felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

It has been like this since I was a child!

Coach Zuo had a headache and was too lazy to argue with him about this. This guy would always explode after one or two rebirths, and his words were almost exactly the same every time. He didn't know where all this resentment came from.

"Don't worry, the kid won't die." Coach Zuo sighed, "But if we don't deal with the guy in the kitchen, we'll probably die first."

Prince Liang muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but still left the courtyard with Coach Zuo.

"She's just an old woman, what can she do..."

Coach Zuo ignored him and continued on his way, fearing that someone would discover him first.

"Who is this woman? Is she more important than the burning house?" King Liang asked again.

This woman has been in the palace for quite some time, and Coach Zuo cares about her just as much as he does about the female doctor.

Apart from assigning more people to watch over her and preventing her from leaving the house to see anyone, basically everything else that can be satisfied will be met.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Coach Zuo said coldly.

"Tsk... here we go again."

The King of Liang was dissatisfied, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Coach Zuo's head has not been comfortable for a single moment since he woke up tonight.

As he walked quickly, he prayed in his heart that he would not be discovered by anyone, especially those running dogs of the Li family.

The Li family seemed like a group of mysterious "heavenly people", but in the eyes of Coach Zuo, they were actually just a group of high-level puppets.

Able to act independently, but controlled by the root thoughts.

No matter how advanced the system is or how powerful the props are, it is ultimately just a copy-and-paste tool.

Those who have a system are members of the Li family.

This is the rule of the Li family.

Anyone who does not comply with this rule or attempts to break this rule will be criticized and suppressed by the Li family.

The woman in the kitchen will be surrounded.

The palace that secretly kept that woman suffered the same fate.

"Is it too late for the two of us to deal with it now?" Prince Liang didn't know why he had to deal with it, but he understood the importance of this person. "There are emissaries searching all over the palace. If we rush to the kitchen in such a hurry, doesn't that mean there's something wrong there?"

Coach Zuo paused.

Suddenly I realized that this idiot still has moments of clarity in his speech.

Prince Liang noticed that Instructor Zuo had paused, so he continued, "They're just looking for whoever smashed the sacred tree branch, and they're not coming directly for the people in the kitchen. Who would think someone is hiding in the kitchen? We'd better not panic."

Coach Zuo nodded. "...But, the messenger will search the entire mansion and will definitely find the kitchen. What should we do then?"

King Liang hadn't thought of that yet and was stunned for a moment by the question.
