I want you to repay kindness

  Mu Xiao Yan panted heavily due to the medicinal effects: "Why must you spare my life?"

  Song Lingyu picked up the medicine from the table and handed it to Mu Xiaojuan: "I want you to repay my kindness, if you can continue to live after today, you must remember that your life is given by me, and in the future, your life will be mine! Of course, you can also choose to die here, think carefully, a good man does not suffer losses in front of his eyes!"

  Mu Xiao was staring at Song Lingyu's face, without making any moves.

  Song Lingyu didn't mind either. If Mu Xiaoqiu could help, that would be great, but if he insisted on choosing to make a futile resistance against the imperial court, then she could only choose another wise one. "Mu Zhai Zhu, time is running out, the imperial court's people will break into the mountain stronghold in no time, as long as we leave the green hills intact, we won't have to worry about not having firewood."

  Mu Xiao's expression changed, and Song Lingyu was right! Now there are two choices, one is certain death, and the other has a 50% chance of survival, but that would mean owing Song Lingyu a life. "I am willing to live or die with everyone in the mountain stronghold!"

  Song Lingyu's eyes narrowed, and she didn't expect Mu Xiaoqiu to still be so stubborn! She smiled lightly: "Mu Village Master, I admire your backbone, but if you choose to die today, then who will offer sacrifices for the spirits of this entire village? I think you wouldn't want them to die with their eyes open either!"

  To be honest, Mu Xiaoqian was indeed moved. If he chose to live and die with the mountain stronghold, then who would offer sacrifices for the spirits of the dead? Mu Xiaoqian snatched the medicine from Song Lingyu's hand and drank it down fiercely.

  Song Lingyu looked at Mu Xiao, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Although she didn't know if she could ultimately save his life, at least he had compromised for now. She slowly walked to the door of the house and looked out from behind the half-closed door. She clearly saw that many people in the village had fallen down, while some others were still calm and collected. Those people were none other than the imperial court's men!

  Song Lingyu turned around, Mu Xiaoqian had already finished drinking the medicine and was watching her, waiting for her next move. Song Lingyu picked up the candles in the room, lit them, then set the bedding on fire, igniting other objects, and soon the entire room was ablaze.

  Mu Xiao Cong stared at Song Ling Yu in shock: "What are you doing?!"

  "If you want to live, don't ask too many questions!" Song Lingyu stopped her actions and turned around to face Mu Xiaojuan. To be honest, when she lit the fire, her heart was still a bit flustered, because the flames in this room would make her think of the big fire that burned her to death before her rebirth, and her heart would ache slightly, but this made her even more determined to make those people pay the price!

  Song Lingyu pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, the dagger looked ordinary, but the blade was only half its original length. Song Lingyu grabbed Mu Xiaojuan's right hand and made a ruthless slash, blood gushed out instantly, flowing along her palm and dripping onto the ground.

  Mu Xiao Tong's eyes snapped open as he was jolted awake by the pain in his hand. "You..."

  "Shut up!" Song Lingyu scolded Mu Xiaoqian, then raised his right hand and wiped the blood all over the left chest of his clothes. He then placed the dagger with less than half a blade in the gap between Mu Xiaoqian's fingers. Song Lingyu looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, looking at the clothes stained with fresh blood: "You should know what to do later."

  Mu Xiao looked at Song Lingyu and suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was not as simple as he thought. Obviously a thirteen-year-old girl, yet she could be so ruthless.

  The door was kicked open, and Song Lingyu glanced at him slightly: "Whether you live or die next depends on yourself!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Mu Xiaojuan to react before heavily pushing her out.
