Chapter 57

Hearing Yan Yan Lingji’s words, Su Xuan turned his head and looked at her, saying, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the bet."

Because of the bet, after crippling Master Tian Ze’s other arm with another punch, Su Xuan did not continue to attack Master Tian Ze, but said softly, "You may go, I won't kill you!"

Master Tian Ze’s hands were in intense pain, but he still forcibly endured it. This intense pain of injury was not even as bad as the pain brought by testing gu-insects for Bai Bai Yifei over the past ten years.

Cold sweat dripped from his pale forehead. He looked at Yan Yan Lingji and asked in a deep voice, "What bet?"

After listening to Yan Yan Lingji and Su Xuan’s words, how could he not know that Su Xuan was willing to let him go and that he could survive, all thanks to some bet.

Yan Yan Lingji’s expression was complex, and she didn't know how to answer this question.

Su Xuan did not have so many scruples and answered Master Tian Ze’s question, "The so-called bet is that I spare your life, and as the price, Yan Yan Lingji must serve me as her master and become my slave!"

"How about it? Do you think it’s a good deal?"

"You only need to sacrifice one subordinate to exchange for your own life. During the battle of Regarding Baiyue all those years ago, if Bai Bai Yifei had been willing to make such a bet with you, you wouldn't have been tortured for ten years!"

A good deal?

Hearing Su Xuan’s words and knowing the truth of the bet.

Master Tian Ze not only didn't feel it was a good deal, but on the contrary, felt deep humiliation and anger.

Admittedly, last night after Bai Bai Yifei told him the news that Yan Yan Lingji had been captured, he had shown a disdainful attitude toward his subordinate, and even said that she had no value and was not worth rescuing.

But that was what he said; in his heart, he still cared about his few subordinates.

In the final analysis, it was because true feelings are revealed in times of adversity.

After he fell into trouble and reappeared in the world, only these few subordinates were willing to respond to his call and gather under his command. Of course, he had to cherish these few subordinates.

If it were ten years ago, when he was still the Crown Prince of Regarding Baiyue, with many talented people under his command, he would certainly have sacrificed those few people to ensure his own safety without hesitation.

"Who allowed you to make a bet with him?" Master Tian Ze looked at Yan Yan Lingji, his voice containing fury.

"Master, I..."

Yan Yan Lingji was very aggrieved; she hadn't expected her master to be so vulnerable and really lose.

If you had been a little more capable and defeated this person, this bet wouldn't have turned out like this; on the contrary, it could have gained you a capable subordinate.

"My life does not need a woman to exchange for it at the cost of herself!" Master Tian Ze’s voice was low, expressing his attitude.

He looked at Su Xuan with murderous intent, "Kill or cut, do as you please!"

After losing to Su Xuan and knowing the content of the bet, he had already thought it through.

Since he couldn't be a hero while alive, then even if he died, he would die with dignity.

He had already compromised with Bai Bai Yifei once, and he didn't want to compromise with anyone else again.

"You have backbone!"

Su Xuan praised him.

Afterwards, to Yan Yan Lingji’s shock, he walked toward Master Tian Ze.

Master Tian Ze slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, and then he found his body lifted into the air.

He couldn't help but open his eyes.

He only saw Su Xuan holding him with one hand, then walking to the door and throwing him out directly.

Master Tian Ze’s body slammed fiercely onto the cold ground, and another wave of pain came, but compared to the pain on his body, his heart was bewildered.

This person let him go?

Was it because of the bet between him and Yan Yan Lingji?

His life actually needed a woman to sacrifice herself to preserve it. What was he...

The words "a man" had not yet appeared in his mind when another dull sound rang out, and Master Tian Ze’s train of thought came to an abrupt end, because Wushuang Gui was also thrown out fiercely by Su Xuan. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Wushuang Gui’s body happened to land on Master Tian Ze.

Wushuang Gui’s figure was tall and burly, which meant that his weight was much heavier than that of an ordinary person.

If it were a thin person, being slammed by him like that, they might have died on the spot.

That Master Tian Ze didn't die on the spot after being slammed by Wushuang Gui while heavily injured was already due to his extraordinary talent.

He lay on the ground for a long time.

Fortunately, the few guards stationed near Su Xuan’s door had been killed by Master Tian Ze earlier, otherwise, when he was lying on the ground thinking about life, he would have been captured long ago.

Master Tian Ze once wanted to return to Su Xuan’s place and let Su Xuan give him a quick death.

But in the end, he gave up.

He and Wushuang Gui struggled to stand up together.

Wushuang Gui’s internal organs felt intense pain, so his voice sounded a bit hoarse, "Master, what shall we do next..."

Continue to rescue Yan Yan Lingji?

It seemed impossible to rescue her!

Master Tian Ze pondered for a moment and soon had a plan.

"The King of Han’s men captured Yan Yan Lingji, so I will also make the King of Han regret it!"

In fact, he hoped Su Xuan would regret it more.

Regret letting him go.

Since that person spared his life because of the bet with Yan Yan Lingji, if he didn't do something, it would really be unjustifiable.

"What? The leader of the Regarding Baiyue rebels, Master Tian Ze, broke into Mr. Su’s place, failed to rescue the demoness, and then abducted Princess Honglian?"

In the bedroom, the King of Han, who had been sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened.

And after learning what had happened, he was suddenly filled with anger, and the fury couldn't help but rush into his head.

Fortunately, during this period, he had been persistently consuming the elixirs refined by Su Xuan, and his physical condition had improved.

Otherwise, hearing such bad news, coupled with the fact that the Regarding Baiyue rebels had not yet been brought to justice, leading to unresolved worries, he might have fainted just like in the original story in a fit of shock and anger.

Afterwards, the King of Han did not care that it was still the middle of the night.

He summoned the ministers on the spot and started a court meeting.

Last night, Yan Yan Lingji broke into the palace, which already showed that the palace guards were like nothing to those Regarding Baiyue rebels, but Yan Yan Lingji had paid the price for her actions; she was captured.

As a result, no one expected that tonight, the Regarding Baiyue rebels would break into the palace again. First, they intended to rescue Yan Yan Lingji. Master Tian Ze was no match for Su Xuan and failed to rescue her, which was good news, but that was on the premise that there was no subsequent abduction of Princess Honglian.

These Regarding Baiyue rebels simply treated the laws of Han Guo as nothing and the palace guard forces as nothing.

Yesterday, Yan Yan Lingji could break into the palace hall; today, the Regarding Baiyue rebels broke into the palace and abducted Princess Princess Honglian. Did that mean that tomorrow, the Regarding Baiyue rebels could break into the palace again and attack him?

Without saying a word, as soon as the court meeting started, the King of Han scolded Ji Ji Wuye.
