"The fifty-sixth one, all done!" Feng Guang finished tying up the last person and clapped his hands casually.
Her imposing presence made him seem frail in comparison.
The frail Sijia suddenly had a feeling that he would feel very safe taking such a woman out with him.
It's an extraordinary sense of security.
Seeing that he was only looking at her without moving, Feng Guang took his hand and walked out of the dimly lit passage to a similarly dark hall. There stood a man in black, named Shi Ba, who was the second-in-command of Wuji Tower.
Seeing that someone could actually emerge from the death tunnel that no one had ever been able to pass through before, Eighteen stood there stunned for a long time before finally speaking, "Lou..."
"Lord of the Tower," Si Jia interrupted him, speaking in his usual cold tone to the others, "I have passed the test. Does this prove that I am not a member of the Wuji Tower?"
"So you're the master of Wuji Tower. You don't seem to have much of an aura." Feng Guang said disdainfully. It wasn't that he really looked down on him, but rather that he was dissatisfied with him. If it weren't for him being the master, Si Jia wouldn't have had to get injured and have to go through this death passage.
What she didn't know was that no matter who it was, even someone as high and mighty as the tower owner, anyone who wanted to leave the Wuji Tower had to go through this procedure; it was the rule.
The person called the "Lord" paused for a long time, because just a moment ago he was only a deputy Lord, and now he had been promoted to the position. He was still a little unaccustomed to it. After a long silence, he dutifully said, "The test of the Death Passage has always been passed by only one person. There has never been a precedent of two people working together to pass it."
Si Jia narrowed his eyes slightly. "Perhaps... we are the precedent."
"..." The newly promoted landlord dared not refute, fearing that he might be hypnotized at any moment and not even know how he died.
Feng Guang glanced at Si Jia, then at the man with a weak aura, and began to spout nonsense, which was also a threat: "I am Si Jia's wife. Husband and wife are one, we are one entity. What's wrong with me and him going through this death passage? Do you know who I am? Believe me or not, I'll bring people to destroy your Wuji Tower?"
Eighteen didn't know who she was, but when he heard that she was Sijia's wife, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Sijia in astonishment.
But Sijia did not refute her; instead, the light in his eyes revealed his great pleasure. Clearly, he liked what she said very much.
Eighteen's face... suddenly looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
Feng Guang didn't have much patience. She was still worried about treating Si Jia's injuries, so she said irritably, "Are you going to remove Si Jia from the list or not? He's mine now, not your Wuji Tower's. Are you going to force employees who want to leave to continue working?"
The girl's words were a bit hard to understand, but that didn't stop Shi Ba from knowing that she was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He then carefully glanced at Si Jia's expression and said in a very strange tone, "Si Jia has passed the test. He will no longer be a member of Wuji Tower."
Then he became uneasy. How could a deputy host like him remove the main host from the list?
"That's great!" Feng Guang took Si Jia's hand and quickly pulled him away. "Let's go find a doctor quickly. You have too many injuries and need proper treatment."
Eighteen held his breath and didn't speak. Based on his years of understanding of the landlord, apart from the accidental scratch on his face, the bloodstains on his body were probably from other people.
