The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

1249 Really Ruthless
Xue Fanxin did not speak the entire time and only listened from the side. At this moment, she already had a rough idea of what was going on, so she spoke.

“Li Yu, you’re so loyal to Duanmu Cun and the Duanmu family. On account of your loyalty, I’ll give you a chance to live.”

Li Yu had thought that he would definitely die, but after hearing this, a little hope appeared in his heart. Although he knew that this hope was not high, he was still willing to take a gamble. “What do you want me to do?”

“I don’t need you to do anything. I’m just giving you a chance. As for whether you can survive in the end, it depends on whether some people care enough about you.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll understand what I mean soon.” Xue Fanxin could not be bothered to explain to Li Yu. She instructed Chuge and Muyu directly, “Hang him outside the Nine Nether Holy Land and send a message to the Duanmu family. As long as the Duanmu family is willing to step forward and acknowledge this person and protect his life in the name of the Duanmu family, even if it’s only Duanmu Cun, the Nine Nether Holy Land will pardon him unconditionally and guarantee that we won’t pursue this matter. We won’t vent our anger on the Duanmu family because of this. If the Duanmu family is unwilling to come out and acknowledge this person and protect his life, then hang him alive.”

Chuge and Muyu thought that Xue Fanxin wanted to spare Li Yu’s life because she admired his loyalty and righteousness, but unexpectedly…

This method looked gentle, but it was actually very lethal.

If the Duanmu family did not step forward to protect Li Yu, those who had once been on good terms with Duanmu Cun and the Duanmu family would be bitterly disappointed. From then on, they would gradually alienate the Duanmu family and no longer think that Duanmu Cun was a good person.

If the Duanmu family stepped forward to protect Li Yu, even if the Nine Nether Holy Land really did not pursue this matter, anyone with eyes could tell that the Nine Nether Holy Land would no longer have any relationship with the Duanmu family. Those factions that were on good terms with the Duanmu family because of the Nine Nether Holy Land would gradually distance themselves.

Hence, no matter what choice the Duanmu family made, the outcome would not be good.

Of these two choices, the outcome of the latter would be much more serious than the former. If the Duanmu family placed too much importance on benefits, they would not step forward to protect Li Yu.

The consort’s plan was really ruthless.

Regarding the twists and turns, among the people present, apart from Chuge and Muyu, no one could guess. All they were thinking about was superficial things: Would the Duanmu family come out to protect Li Yu?

Even Li Yu himself did not know the deeper meaning of Xue Fanxin’s actions. He only knew that he still had a chance to live. As long as the Duanmu family was willing to step forward and protect his life, he would not have to die.

The Nine Nether Holy Land had always kept its word, so the Ninth Nether Consort’s words naturally counted. She said that she would pardon her unconditionally and not pursue this matter, nor would she vent her anger on the Duanmu family, so she would definitely do it.

In other words, there was actually no need for the Duanmu family to pay a huge price to protect him.

He and Holy Envoy Duanmu were brothers, closer than biological brothers. Even if the Duanmu family was unwilling to step forward to protect him, Holy Envoy Duanmu would. Therefore, he only needed to wait for Holy Envoy Duanmu to step forward.

“Good luck, loyal brother.” Xue Fanxin smiled deeply and turned to leave.

The moment Xue Fanxin left, Li Yu was dragged away and hung outside the door of the Nine Nether Holy Land.

Chuge and Muyu sent people to the Duanmu family to send a message. At the same time, they spread this matter throughout the entire Holy Region. After that, they just waited to watch the commotion.
