Sichin's sword was also at Huowu's throat. With a slight push, a bloodstain appeared on Huowu's neck."Brother, I'm not afraid of death! Don't worry about me, kill them! Let their blood be paid for the..."You're despicable!" Xiao Yuge wanted to rush forward, but she saw Hua Qinghe's long sword placed back on the rope. Therefore, she forcefully stopped her steps. She couldn't charge forward, even if her movements were swift, the hidden weapons were fast enough. But she couldn't risk Qingluo's life. Below was a precipice; what if...
"Xiao Yu Ge, when it comes to being despicable and using underhanded tactics, compared to certain someone, I'm completely outclassed!" Hua Qing He paused for a moment: "Xiao Yu Ge, do you know I never knew you cared so much about that little girl. In fact, today's success in luring you here was largely thanks to a mysterious person's help, otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"
"What did you say What mysterious person" Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm talking about Xiao Yu Ge. The person beside you, the one you wouldn't even dream of, is the most despicable. Without that person, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly!" Hua Qinghe's red lips curved up slightly, smiling brightly.
"Who is that" Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. She never expected there to be someone betraying her hidden among those around her.
"Xiao Yu Ge, I won't tell you! I said that person is someone you would never expect. I want to let you leave with regret, and only when you reach the King of Hell's court will you know who it is." But Hua Qinghe had no intention of telling her at all.
"As long as she's by my side, one day I will definitely capture her!" Anyone who dares to harm Qing Luo, whoever they may be, deserves to die!
“Xiao Yu Ge, I admire your unwavering confidence, even though it’s blinding. Even if you survive today due to good fortune, you will surely die at that person’s hands someday. Perhaps only when you die will you realize who that person is. It's a pity, everything is too late!” Hua Qing He seemed determined to take this secret to the grave.
She wanted to see Xiao Yuge's heart filled with itching resentment, but unable to pinpoint the source of the itch. Even if she miraculously survived, she would live in the shadows, always on edge, living a life of fear and anxiety. Just thinking about it made her happy.
"Alright, the choosing is over. Come on, who do you pick!" She seemed to have lost her patience and started again, her sword slicing through the rope.
"No! Don't!" Xiao Yufu watched as the rope seemed to be split by a line, her face pale with fright.
"Miss, please don't worry about Qing Luo! This life, Qing Luo being able to serve the Miss is already a blessing from Qing Luo's past life. It's Qing Luo who is useless and always burdens the Miss, so, Miss, let Qing Luo die, Qing Luo won't blame you!" Qing Luo now wished for death with all her heart, but she was unable to move. She didn't want to become a bargaining chip that Hua Qing He used to threaten the Miss anymore.
"Qing Luo!" Xiao Yu Ge saw despair in Qing Luo's eyes, and naturally understood that this foolish girl, afraid of dragging her down, had chosen to die. However, how could she possibly let Qing Luo die In this life, unless she died first, she would absolutely protect Qing Luo.
Xiao Yufu, seeing that Xiao Yuge might choose to save Qing Luo and abandon her, panicked: "Yuge, I am your elder sister! Qing Luo is just a lowly maid. I am the direct daughter of the Xiangfu, bestowed as a county princess by His Majesty, and the chosen one of Lan Zhao Nation's fortune. If I die, Lan Zhao Nation's luck will run out. At that time, chaos will erupt throughout the world, and you would bear to watch the common people suffer from war"
At this moment, she finally understood the helplessness and despair Xiao Yuge felt when she was abandoned on Tianlang Mountain.
"Qing Luo is my kin, not some lowly maid!" Xiao Yu Ge clenched his fists upon hearing her words, feeling an urge to pummel her.
Xiao Yufu, seeing the situation, panicked even more. In a moment of desperation, she shouted loudly, "Ge'er, I know it was wrong of me to take Si Chen Gege away. If you choose to save me, I promise after I go back, I won't compete with you for Si Chen Gege anymore. I won't marry him, I'll give him back to you, and I won't go against you again! In fact, I only ever wanted his Prince Consort position!" Indeed, in the face of death, love is nothing compared to it all.
Xiao Yu's song sneered in her heart: Qian Si Chen! This is the woman you cherished in your previous life How laughable! It's a pity that you didn't hear these words, otherwise, would you feel sorrow for the love you once invested
"Miss, please save young mistress! This servant doesn't blame you. If there is an afterlife, this servant will still serve you!" Qing Luo had already made up her mind to die. She knew that the young mistress would definitely choose to save her, but if she truly saved her, and the county princess died, His Majesty would surely blame the young mistress. She couldn't implicate her any further, only by dying could the young mistress be free of weakness!
"Xiao Yu Ge, my patience is wearing thin. Just tell me your choice," Hua Qinghe sped up the grinding of her sword, as if the two strands of rope were about to snap.
“Song'er, save me!” At this moment, Xiao Yuge had already thrown away her former lofty dignity. All she wanted was to survive.
"Little Flower, it seems someone is coming this way!" At this moment, Hua Yaofu glanced in the direction of the approaching person and urged his daughter, "Don't play anymore, kill them!" He knew that once someone came, these girls would be finished.
"Xiao Yu Ge, you dare to let people follow me!" Hua Qing He thought Xiao Yu Ge had sent someone after her, and she was instantly furious.
"No! I didn't call anyone!" Seeing Hua Qinghe seemed to be losing her composure, Xiao Yuge also panicked.
"Xiao Yu's song, anyway I didn't want to live anymore, today can pull you all down to hell together, it's worth it!" Hua Qinghe finished speaking, and waved her sword towards the rope!
As it turns out, ever since she was shamed and ruined by the Min brothers, she had already accepted her fate of death. With her father also being exposed for colluding with bandits, she simply lost the courage to live on.
And Hua Yaizu also knew that even if the Emperor spared him for his mother's sake, the remnants of those three bandit gangs wouldn't let him go. He would die sooner or later, so he might as well play this game of death with his precious daughter.
"No!"
Seeing Hua Qinghe raise her long sword to cut the rope, Xiao Yuge frantically channeled her energy and threw a bone-piercing nail!
"Little Flower! Be careful!" Seeing the two bone-piercing nails flying towards his daughter, Hua Yaizu instinctively threw himself in front of her to protect her!
"Ha!"
Once the bone-piercing nail was launched, even immortals would find it difficult to save him! Although Xiao Yuge was currently poisoned, she had used her utmost effort with this concealed weapon. Even a skilled expert would have difficulty dodging it, let alone someone like Hua Yaozu who wasn't even considered a master. Naturally, the attack was a direct hit!
"Father!" Hua Qinghe saw her father fall in front of her. Although she wanted to die with him, when she saw her father fall, her heart ached as if being torn apart.
“Xiao Yu Ge, you killed my father! I must make you pay for it!” At this moment, Hua Qing He finally stopped being fixated on killing Xiao Yu Ge. She felt that killing the person Xiao Yu Ge cared about most, and also this woman of great fortune, would make Xiao Yu Ge spend the rest of her life in pain. Therefore, the long sword in her hand slashed at the rope without hesitation once again!open her collar, revealing a smooth and flawless shoulder.Qian Tingxuan instinctively turned his face away: This girl, how..."I thought you were more capable than that." With her scheme successful, Xi...
