Chapter 790: East Pavilion Master’s Trial

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The girl she grabbed was named Ah Jing. She appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old and was thin as a rail. She stubbornly held back tears, hence her eyes sparkled.

She said, “This is the back mountain of the Silver Moon Pavilion.”

Su Yingxue was puzzled. “Silver Moon Pavilion? Back mountain?”

Wu Dao had killed her, so why was she thrown into the back mountain?

“Sister, why are you here?” Ah Jing asked curiously.

In such a harsh environment, the first person to initiate a conversation with her made her inexplicably fond of them.

Su Yingxue was about to respond, but she didn’t know why she had been captured.

A group of people emerged from the valley.

The leader, dressed in a dark red brocade robe, proclaimed loudly, “You are all slaves and refugees banished from various places. You should have died long ago, or perhaps you have already died. However, the master will not grant so many people the chance to live for free. Among the ninety-nine of you, only one will survive.”

“Only one?”

“Wiry?”

” What are we supposed to do!?”

The women trapped in the mountain voiced various questions, with the timid ones having already hoarsened their throats from crying.

Amidst their cries, Air Hong announced the rules. “In the back mountain, there are countless ferocious beasts, but there is also hidden food and water. However, this sustenance can only support one person’s survival. Seven days later, I will return to open the valley. The survivor will be escorted out by me, and the master will grant them a new life. Over these seven days, your fate and abilities will determine your survival.”

“Hey!” Su Yingxue called out hastily, “Who is your master? Is it the East Pavilion Master?”

Ah Hong paused, recalling Rong Sheng’s concern for Su Yingxue. Reluctantly, he turned back to her and grunted in confirmation.

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. “As I suspected!”

It wasn’t Wu Dao!

It was that… even more mysterious East Pavilion Master!

Wu Dao’s adopted son!

Chu Yihan had mentioned this person to her before. He was volatile and completely different from Wu Dao.

Just based on his actions, Su Yingxue knew he was also a lunatic.

Of the ninety-nine, only one could survive.

Could someone who survived such vicious battles still be called human?

The East Pavilion Master intended to forge a formidable individual!

“I want to live! I don’t want to die!”

“I don’t want to die! Where’s the food?”

“I’m so hungry. I need to eat first!”

After Air Hong left, the female slaves began struggling and fighting over food.

They were all people who had clawed back a life, living at the lowest rung of society. Being alive was their sole motivation.

Ah Jing also wanted to snatch food. Seeing Su Yingxue still frozen in place, she ran back to pull her, saying, “Hurry and grab some! If the food we can find here is taken away, we’ll starve. We still have seven days! Every extra day alive counts!”

Su Yingxue considered carefully and grabbed her hand. “This way of fighting for food won’t lead to survival.”

The battles among the ninety-nine had been filled with slaughter for the past seven days.

Ah Jing bit her lip. “But if we don’t snatch it, we might not even last a day. We might even get killed!”

To survive, one had to fight!

Even if it was just for a day, an hour, or even half an hour.

Su Yingxue shook her head. “There’s no need. I have a plan. Everyone can make it out alive.”

“What plan?” Ah Jing’s eyes brimmed with curiosity.

She felt that despite Su Yingxue’s lingering illness, she exuded a reassuring presence.
