"Have you made your decision yet?
Are you going to drag me back, or do you want me to help you unravel the mystery of your lineage?
Zhao Ziying, your true nature is not bad. The root of all these mistakes does not lie with you; you have simply been used by others.
You know very well in your heart who is using you, but you are merely unwilling to face it.
So that you will have no regrets and no lingering sorrow, I can help you save Zhou Chen's life free of charge.
I said this help is free, so I will not use his life as a bargaining chip against you.
I rarely show this kind of mercy, so you had better think carefully before making your decision.
Well... the position where you stabbed your sword is just right. Although he isn't dead yet, as long as you pull the blade out a fraction of an inch, he will certainly die.
The only ones who can save him now are probably me and the Underworld Emperor.
Heh, what choice will you make?"
Si Ren was not actually using Zhou Chen's life as a gamble. He had no blood relation to Zhao Ziying, the two of them shared no history, and there was certainly no emotional bond between them. Therefore, trying to threaten Zhao Ziying with Zhou Chen's life would most likely fail to get him what he wanted.
Yet Si Ren had still made this choice. He was not gambling; his primary objective was to pull Zhao Ziying into opposition against the Underworld Emperor.
