Chapter 153 - 146 Execution Ground
"Miss Sangxi, you’ve gone too far," said Andre, who had just seen to Lu Hong’s lodgings before going straight to the cultivation room where Sangxi was.
The acts Sangxi had committed were clearly deliberate provocations, and Andre did not understand why she would sever all possible retreats for Lu Hong and the Bassa family.
"Uncle Andre," Sangxi opened her eyes, emerging from meditation with a smile, "Two years ago, did you not propose to the Elders’ Council to consider me as a seed for a family alliance through marriage?"
Andre’s expression suddenly darkened. "That’s in the past. Why do you keep harping on it? Besides, do you think I intended to betroth you to that boy?"
"Who knows?" More than two years ago, Andre had wanted to use Sangxi in exchange for a powerful ally for the Bassa family. But each young talent or child of an influential family that Andre had in mind had been killed off by Sangxi’s designs.
Andre knew this was Sangxi’s way of resisting, and he didn’t mind her actions. After all, a man who couldn’t handle Sangxi wasn’t worth the investment.
Thus, Sangxi had become a touchstone for marriage alliances within the Bassa family. But this time, Sangxi was truly mistaken. Andre clearly had some intel about Lu Hong and wanted to win him over, yet Sangxi pushed Lu Hong into an adversarial position with the Bassa family with her attitude of preferring to err on the side of action than inaction.
"Do you realize how stupid you are?" Andre said coldly to Sangxi, "If this boy survives, he will become our family’s greatest enemy."
"So it seems Uncle Andre does value him highly. Looking at it this way, my actions don’t seem all that wrong, do they?"
Like a gust of wind, Andre rushed over to Sangxi, lifted her into the air, and said with a heavy voice, "Do you even know who he is? His name is Tukurru, partner to the current queen of the Xia He family in the Sacred Empire. If he manages to escape, it will be our nightmare!"
