After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 308 Miss Song, what exactly happened?

"Miss Song, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Ling was the first to come to her senses, looking at Song Lan: "What you just said about the campfire taking lives..."

If the campfire could truly take lives, and if their current lifespan had already been entirely taken by the campfire, and they would perish immediately upon leaving the area illuminated by the fire, then why would Song Lan still add firewood to it?

Surely it can't be that we sacrifice our own lives just to keep them alive for the time being?

That's simply impossible, isn't it?
They were not related by blood or marriage; what kind of person would be so magnanimous...?

"Yes! What exactly happened? If you said the campfire killed us, why were you adding more firewood?"

Lin Zhixiu didn't doubt Song Lan's words; they were definitely tricked by Xue Wan!
But if it's as Song Lan said, it doesn't make much sense.

Who would knowingly venture into dangerous territory?
They couldn't believe that Song Lan would risk her own safety to save them.

Song Lan threw a few more pieces of firewood into the campfire.

"You're all right. Today's events were indeed a trap set by Xue Wan."

“As soon as you leave the area shrouded in firelight, you will immediately become a dried-up corpse.”

"I can't even save you."

Song Lan said calmly, "The contract to sacrifice your lifespan was an agreement you yourselves signed..."

“We didn’t!” Zhao Yueli was the first to retort.

How could she possibly agree to sacrifice her lifespan? She's not crazy; why would she give up a perfectly good life and be so foolish as to sacrifice herself for someone else?

"Yes, we never signed any of those contracts you mentioned..."

Everyone hurriedly interrupted Song Lan's speech.

Even Su Xianyun said, "Yes, benefactor, we have never heard of anyone asking about contracts or whether they agree or disagree. They just lost their lives in a daze."

"By adding firewood to the campfire, you have already been considered to have agreed..." Song Lan paused slightly and clicked her tongue lightly: "To be precise, from the moment you accepted Xue Wan's invitation, you were regarded as his possessions."

"Afterwards, you followed him to this Changsheng Temple, in the middle of nowhere. He naturally tacitly approved of your willingness to come, which means you were willing to be controlled and exploited by him."

"So, he really didn't ask you, he just assumed that you had agreed."

"Then the campfire incident happened."

Everyone was furious after hearing this: Why? This Xue guy didn't even ask them, so why did he assume they agreed?!

"Then why did you still add firewood to the campfire, even though you knew that Xue Wan and the demons would take it as consent?"

Lin Zhixiu watched Song Lan still adding firewood, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved at all.

After all, what Song Lan said is very likely true.

Once the campfire goes out, these people will lose the warmth of the firelight and will soon become like Yang Qing, mummies.

Song Lan is keeping the campfire burning because she saved them.

They should be grateful to Song Lan for giving them a second chance at life.

But Lin Zhixiu understood another principle even better.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Song Lan was not related to them at all, and their relationship was not even harmonious. They had even spoken ill of Song Lan.

If that's the case, Song Lan is still able to repay evil with kindness and risk his life to help them. Wouldn't that make him a saint?
Lin Zhixiu does not believe that there are saints in this world.

Others thought the same way.

"I?"

Song Lan seemed to have finally heard their confusion and explained with a light laugh.
