The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

A8 C242: Sneaking into the Dungeon

Sang Feiwan unconsciously rubbed his fingertips together, his mind racing as he tried to recall the plot he had deleted.

Although the manuscript for «Greedy Love» had been rejected by the editor over a dozen times, and he had made countless revisions, there was no unsolvable plot, just as there was no wall that could not be breached.

Firstly, the Emperor's attempt to break through to the Cloud Realm would definitely fail. No matter how many inner cores he used, it would be in vain because he was using the wrong method.

This was both good and bad.

The good news was that he wouldn't become stronger, but the bad news was that if one attempt failed, he would continue to try to extract the next inner core.

To save Baili Duyue, relying on just one person would not be enough. This was Fu Yujin's territory. Even if they managed to rescue someone from the dungeon, there was still the question of whether they could escape the palace.

But if they added the other trapped Tian Yanjing experts and the forces from the three domains of Tian Xiang, White Bone, and Cangdu, the chances of success would greatly increase.

In that moment, no one knew what flashed through Sang Feiwan's mind. He looked up at Fu Yuhao, only to find the latter staring at him. He paused, "Why is the Young Lord staring at me?"

Fu Yuhao remained silent, walking up to Sang Feiwan. He slowly reached out to touch his face, trying to find even a hint of the past affection on his face, but found nothing. "I just can't understand..."

Suppressing the urge to dodge, Sang Feiwan asked gently, "What doesn't the Young Lord understand?"

Seeing him quiet and submissive, Fu Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand, frowning, "What's so good about Baili Duyue? You protect him, and so does the Empress..."

Empress?

Sang Feiwan thought, wasn't that the Emperor's wife? He had seen the Empress acting cold and distant, not very close to the Emperor, which was strange. Now thinking about it, the Empress probably had no feelings for the Emperor and stayed by his side out of necessity.

She didn't like Fu Yujin, so naturally, she wasn't affectionate towards Fu Yuhao either.

Fu Yuhao's jealousy towards Baili Duyue indirectly indicated that the Empress actually loved Baili Duyue deeply, just not openly.

"Why trouble yourself," Sang Feiwan suddenly changed his tone, seemingly consoling, "The Empress surely cares for you deep down, it's just her usual cold demeanor that you haven't noticed."

He sighed, looking dejected, "In fact, I didn't really like Lord Baili, I only had eyes for the Young Lord. But the Young Lord ignored me, and in my disappointment, I had thoughts of revenge."

Sang Feiwan's made-up story was so convincing that even Baili Duyue would have been fooled, let alone Fu Yuhao. Hearing this, Fu Yuhao's eyes were filled with suspicion as he asked, "Is this true?"

Sang Feiwan looked resentful, "I've done so much for the Young Lord, don't you trust me?"

The original's sycophantic image was deeply ingrained, and he could even go through fire and water for Fu Yuhao. This statement was very convincing.

Even Fu Yuhao hesitated.

Yes, Sang Feiwan had once loved him so much, how could he suddenly turn to someone else? After thinking it over, this was the only explanation that made sense...

Thinking of this, the knot in Fu Yuhao's heart was finally smoothed out. He stared at Sang Feiwan, smiled, and resumed his usual gentle demeanor, "Didn't I say before, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be the one closest to me in the future, so don't overthink."
