The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

A8 C222: Awakening of the Second Persona

Some people are naturally devoid of the need for emotions. They can navigate through false sentiments effortlessly, remain unchanged even in life-threatening situations. However, when someone presents a raw and bloody heart before them, they become wary.

People are generally afraid of unfamiliar things; lacking experience, they instinctively retreat and resist.

Baili Duyue didn't know why he suddenly withdrew his hand, but he indeed awkwardly pulled it back, fingertips burning as if gripping a piece of hot charcoal, causing him to furrow his brow.

Sang Feiwan noticed Baili Duyue's action and paused for a moment. He belatedly realized that the person in front of him, despite wielding the power of life and death, had never touched the realm of love—he was as clean as a blank paper in this regard.

Such a person had both pros and cons. The advantage was purity, but the disadvantage was once moved, it was unchangeable; only mutual destruction could end the karma.

Sang Feiwan lowered his gaze slowly, thinking that those deeply in love seemed to exist only in books. In real life, most people were as emotionally detached as his parents.

For some reason, he also took a few steps back.

"I'll take my leave..."

Sang Feiwan looked at Baili Duyue, smiled, suddenly feeling that he might not have shouldered this overly pure person in front of him. However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before dissipating.

He needed to complete his mission, he needed to stay alive, and most importantly, he didn't need a conscience.

But at this moment, Sang Feiwan didn't do anything. He just glanced at Baili Duyue, then respectfully exited the hall with the others, unaware that a gaze had fallen on him during the banquet.

Jiang Liuping, the lord of West Wind City, had two major interests in life: beautiful people and fine wine. He had already been enchanted by the beauties in the hall, but suddenly noticed the man who served him was exceptionally attractive. Under the influence of alcohol, he raised his cup and teased, “The King of the Azure Capital is truly blessed, surrounded by world-class beauties. It makes us quite envious."

Baili Dayue ruled the entire Northern Territory, deserving the title of the King of Azure Capital, and he could be considered genuinely renowned.

Qu Wujing, hearing Jiang Liuping's praise, played with his wine glass in a calm manner, saying coolly, "Through the ages, there are no absolute beauties. Appreciating beauty is personal, isn't it, Lord Jiang? Which beauty has caught your eye?"

Jiang Liuping closed his eyes for a moment and then smiled, "The man who served the Lord just now is indeed handsome."

Upon hearing Jiang Liuping's words, Baili Duyue knew who he was talking about. Except for Sang Feiwan, no one else fits the description. He hooked his fingertips expressionlessly, ordered the attendant to come forward and pour the wine, stared at Jiang Liuping with a smile and asked, "What, do you want him?"

Jiang Liuping lowered his head and smiled, but did not deny it: "I'm just afraid that the lord won't give up his love."

But in his heart, he thought that Baili Duyue had never been the type to hold on to some beauty, so he should just go along with the flow and give the man to him.

However, Baili Duyue lazily bent his knees, waved his crimson sleeves, and suddenly asked: "If this city lord gives it to you, what will you give in exchange?"

Jiang Liuping was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Gold, silver, pearls, jade, and rare treasures, as long as the city lord opens his mouth, I will naturally offer them to you."
