Zu An smiled and said, “Of course there’s a way to save you all. In reality, your lives don’t mean much in the grander scheme of things. The nobles in the imperial court only care about their struggle with King Qi’s faction, and don’t care much about your lives at all. That’s why there’s still a chance that you can be saved.”

He’d seen how Gu Yueyi had been ready to betray his own people, so he didn’t dare to say that there was no way to save them. If he did, there was no way this kid would cooperate. He might even sell him out instead.

He had no choice but to placate him with this argument. However, he felt guilty about leading Sun Luzhen and Solitary Fire on like this by giving them a false sense of happiness.

Gu Yueyi’s hopes for survival were rekindled, and he was immediately overjoyed. “Young master Zu really is our lucky star! We knew that you were someone extraordinary the moment we first set eyes on you back then in Brightmoon City! Hahaha, this is great!”

He was so excited that it was hard for him to speak clearly.

Zu An rolled his eyes. He definitely didn’t remember this guy being all that friendly...
