Ten days later.
In Xinyou District, inside Lu Ku's residence.
The Wushan Six Siblings sat silently in the living room, their faces expressionless as the atmosphere froze solid.
More or less, a trace of anxiety showed in each of their eyes, like criminals awaiting judgment.
Only when the sun set behind the western hills did they finally let out long sighs of relief.
"Ha... He's finally stuck!" Ai Ji could not help laughing.
"Even if he's stuck, he could already control all six of us at once long ago," Shi Xian said faintly.
Like a duck being strangled, Ai Ji froze on the spot with a squawk.
"We no longer have any room to resist," Yu Lin said in a muffled voice.
"Then we'll die together with him!" Ai Ji shouted.
Xu Rao said nothing, but his face had turned incomparably grim.
"With the restrictions of the Heart-Linking Rope on us, it's practically impossible for us to die together with him." Wu Ruo calmly shook her head.
"What if we use someone else's knife to kill him?" Xu Rao said coldly.
"We don't know his true identity," Yu Lin said. "And he seems able to detect ambushes in advance."
"We're finished now!" Ai Ji looked utterly dejected. "We don't even know what he'll make us do."
"Nothing more than murder and arson," Shi Xian said coolly.
"But what if he sends us to our deaths?"
"What if he makes us test his medicine? He knows how to make medicine and refine pills too."
"Our lives are completely in his hands. There's no telling what kind of perverse evil things he might make us do!"
Thinking of all the terrible consequences that might await them—
The room immediately fell silent.
Behind the Low Mountain Courtyard, within Small Hill Hollow.
