Translator: 549690339
“A blood debt must be paid in blood! Blood for blood! A debt of blood must be paid in blood!”
“Don’t leave a single chicken or dog alive in the Gu family! The entire Gu clan will be sacrificed to my daughter!”
“A blood debt must be paid in blood! A blood debt must be paid with blood!”
The Chu clan’s people outside the house shouted in unison. In the midst of the noise, song Qing’s small eyes fell on the strange black coffin in the middle.
There seemed to be a layer of black mist lingering around the coffin, which made her feel a little scared.
At this moment, everyone was trapped in the illusion again, trying to force the trial-taker to make a choice.
According to the rumors, the Chu family was weaker than the Gu family. However, judging from the fact that the Gu family had fallen into the depths of the earth, the entire Gu family was probably exterminated, just as Chu Sheng had said.
Both sides were not to be trifled with. If one side was chosen, it would be a battle to the death with the other side.
And if they did not choose either side, with the Gu and Chu families facing off against each other in anger, it was very likely that they would be attacked from both sides.
No. 7 was nowhere to be seen, and No. 3’s question was undoubtedly pushing song qingxiao to the front. He was slyly waiting for her reply so that the others could make their choice.
The trial-takers had originally planned to cooperate with each other for the time being, but just one choice had broken the tacit understanding that had just formed in this unreliable temporary team.
Once the trial-takers chose different camps, they would inevitably kill each other. Which side should they choose?
Amidst the Chu family’s resentful cries, number three saw that song qingxiao did not speak for a long time. He could not help but ask again, ”
“Number one, which side do you think we should choose?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on song qingxiao. Not only the trial-taker and the two surviving youths, but even the surrounding guests, Gu wuxiang and his wife, and the Chu clan outside the vermillion red Gate, all stopped their shouting and waited for song qingxiao’s reply.
In the distance, the goateed old man bent over and put his hands into his sleeves. He tilted his head and grinned as he looked down on song Qing. His eyes narrowed into a line, and occasionally, his eyes would turn and reveal a cold feeling.
Under the light of the fire, there was an undercurrent surging in the wriggling fog in the darkness.
Everyone’s gazes turned into a heavy pressure on song qingxiao’s shoulders.
Seeing that she didn’t speak for a long time, Yao Liu reminded her in a low voice,
“N0.1…”
Song qingxiao ignored him. Under everyone’s gaze, she looked at the broken door.
The middle part of the door had been broken, and only a small part of it was still connected to the door frame. However, with every swing, it would tear open a little more, as if it would fall at any time.
Outside the Vermilion gate were familiar steps with two stone lion statues on both sides.
The moment song qingxiao saw the stone lion statue, she seemed to have thought of something. A dark light flashed in her eyes.
“No. 1…” Number three reminded her again, but song qingxiao still ignored her. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the two ordinary young men who were squeezed together.
“Which side do you choose to stand on?”
Number three had already asked her several times, but no one expected that, as the ‘middleman’ invited by the Gu group to mediate, she would not be the first to express her opinion and would even ask for the opinions of two ordinary people.
This action caused number three to be stunned for a moment, and then a sense of absurdity rose in his heart. He instinctively looked at number two, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“We, we?”
The two young men who were called out by song qingxiao looked uneasy. When they heard song qingxiao’s question, one of them pointed at his nose.
“Yes, I am.”
Song qingxiao nodded slightly and replied with certainty.
“Number one, this isn’t child’s play.”
Daoist nun number two frowned and reminded her.
Everyone knew the consequences of making the wrong choice. Such an important decision should not be made by the ordinary people in the two scenarios.
The two youths saw the Daoist nun’s cold expression and couldn’t help but shrink their shoulders, becoming even more terrified.
Following song qingxiao’s question, the ‘people’ around them all looked at them. The two teenagers ‘legs trembled even more when they saw these ghosts that had been dead for many years looking at them.
“I know what I’m doing,” Song qingxiao lightly replied to the Daoist nun. The Daoist nun’s eyes flashed with killing intent, but her breathing affected her internal injuries. She covered her chest, sneered, and no longer spoke.
Song qingxiao asked again,
“Which side do you think we should stand on?”
The two young men were sweating and their bodies were shaking so much that their facial muscles were twitching. They couldn’t even speak properly.
