Qian Renxue looked at Liu Erlong, who had humbled herself to the utmost. Besides contempt, she also felt bewilderment.
Was it worth it?
For a piece of trash!
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, planted her foot on Liu Erlong's head, and ground it down a few times. After a while, she lifted it away.
"Fine. Yu Xiaogang can leave in seven days."
Qian Renxue finished speaking.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Liu Erlong kowtowed several times before rising. "I'd like to see Xiaogang first. Please grant me permission, Your Highness."
"One hour. Go."
A guard escorted Liu Erlong to a prison. Yu Xiaogang had just taken a Spring Rejuvenation Pill to keep himself alive.
He looked dazedly at Liu Erlong, then sprang to his feet.
"Erlong, why did you take so long to get here?!"
"Do you know how much I've suffered here?"
Rather than feel grateful that Liu Erlong had come, he complained bitterly that she had arrived so late and left him to suffer.
Liu Erlong's brows furrowed slightly.
But seeing Yu Xiaogang's wretched state, she held back her anger. "Xiaogang, I've already pleaded for you. You'll be free in seven days."
"Seven days!"
Yu Xiaogang bellowed at the top of his lungs.
"I still have to wait seven days!"
He collapsed to his knees in despair. Every day here was already a fate worse than death, an unbearable torment.
And now he had seven more days.
He was on the verge of madness. He glared venomously at Liu Erlong. "Why can't I leave now? Did you not try your hardest?"
Liu Erlong saw that Yu Xiaogang actually doubted her.
A flicker of disappointment crossed her eyes, followed by a surge of hurt. "Xiaogang, I did everything I could just to get you released in seven days."
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly.
