Nangong Que was unsatisfied with the Underground Emperor interfering. "Why shouldn't I kill her? She's the murderer who hurt my sister!"
Realizing his words had caused a misunderstanding, the Underground Emperor quickly clarified.
"I'm not pleading for this wicked woman! I'm thinking about Wesley. I know Wesley well. She never gives up easily. If there's even a tiny chance, she'll find a way to save herself! Therefore, I believe she's still alive. We should keep this woman and interrogate her. Perhaps there are other passages and we might be able to rescue Wesley faster if we find out."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Que found it quite reasonable and asked Qi Yunjue, "Should we put her through some rigorous questioning?"
Qi Yunjue stared at Linxi, without uttering a word.
Seeing his hesitation, Linxi snarled, "There are no secret passages anymore! Kill me! As long as Yan Ling is buried with me, I suffer no loss!"
