Under One Person: The Frog Cubs Gave Me Insulation Claws at the Start

"What? Are you already thinking about how to escape?"

Qu Tong trembled suddenly when she heard the murderous words in her ear.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly retreated several meters and looked at Lü Ci.

The other person stood at the door, staring at him with a murderous look on their face.

Judging from his expression, he clearly had murderous intent!

"Old Master Lü, what are you saying?" Qu Tong suppressed her fear and forced a smile.

"As I just said, the three of us are in this together, how could I possibly betray you at the last minute?"

"Besides, even if I wanted to escape, there is no other exit from this secret room except for this door."

"Now that Feng Tianci is blocking the way outside, where can I run to?"

However, in response to her words, Lü Ci sneered:

"Alright, stop acting in front of me!"

"Actually, I already guessed your identity when you said you wanted to go into this secret room to see Duanmu Ying."

"You must be her daughter, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Tong's delicate body trembled, but she quickly regained her composure.

Upon seeing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Lü Ci's icy gaze, and he then said in a deep voice:

"Looks like I guessed right."

He sighed softly, looked at the coffin in the center of the secret chamber, and slowly said:

"Actually, I'm not surprised that you came here."

"I just didn't expect that this woman actually had a child outside."

As he spoke, he had already walked towards Qu Tong.

With each step forward, the murderous aura emanating from him intensified.

"Originally, I wanted to use a counter-strategy to lure that little beast here and have the old master kill him."

"But it seems that won't work now..."

"Therefore, for the sake of our Lü family, someone has to take responsibility for this!" (End of Chapter)

Chapter 331 Qu Tong comes up with a quick idea, and Wang Bing becomes a pawn!

Lu Ci's smile was sinister, his eyes filled with murderous intent, as he walked forward step by step.

At this moment, Qu Tong had lost her previous composure and retreated with a face full of fear.

However, the entire secret room is only a dozen square meters in size.

They hadn't gone back more than a few steps before reaching the edge.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Qu Tong felt utterly hopeless.

Finally, steeling himself, he suppressed his fear and said in a deep voice:

"Lu Ci, are you getting old and senile?!"

"Do you think the Lü family will be safe if you kill me now?!"

To this, Lü Ci merely gave a cold laugh and slowly said:

"Your worthless life is certainly not enough. Aren't there three of us in this secret room?"

"Once we're all dead, even if Feng Tianci harbors a lot of resentment, it will be enough to appease him!"

Upon hearing this, not only Qu Tong, but even Wang Bing standing at the door felt a tremor in his heart!

That old mad dog is too ruthless!

In order to quell Feng Tianci's anger, he not only planned to kill the two of them, but also to kill himself!

However, it must be said that doing so has a very high chance of protecting the Lü family!

The problem is, while Lü Ci is willing to die for the Lü family, Qu Tong and Wang Bing are not!

Especially Wang Bing, who was inherently afraid of death.

Even when it was to avenge the Wang family, he never thought of risking his own life.

Hearing Lü Ci say this, he immediately begged for mercy:

"Grandpa Lü! You and my grandfather grew up together!"

"Even for his sake, you shouldn't have killed me!"

"I'm the only son in the Wang family. If you kill me, how will you explain it to my grandfather?"

As he spoke, his hands, hidden behind his back, groped haphazardly at the door of the secret room.

After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the mechanism to open the stone door.

However, Lü Ci had already noticed his little trick and immediately snorted disdainfully, saying:

"Don't bother looking, the mechanism for the stone gate isn't here."

"As for your grandfather, he'll explain everything to him after he goes downstairs!"

Although his tone was calm, his words were filled with murderous intent.

Wang Bing's expression froze, his heart pounding as if it had fallen off a cliff, filled with immense fear.

He knew that this old mad dog really intended to kill him and then commit suicide!

"Master Lü, you..."

Wang Bing still wanted to beg for mercy, hoping that Lü Ci would suddenly have a change of heart and spare his life.

But before he could finish speaking, Qu Tong suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Elder Lü, isn't your only wish to save your people? I have a way!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci, who had been walking forward, suddenly stopped and looked at Qu Tong with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Seeing his hesitation, Qu Tong quickly said again:

"None of us expected things to turn out this way."

"But as you've seen, with Feng Tianci's strength, if the Old Celestial Master really loses, given his personality, your Lü family members will also die at his hands!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci hesitated, his mind racing.

Just as Qu Tong said, even if they all die here now.

Given Feng Tianci's brutal nature, without the Old Master's restraint, I'm afraid the entire Lü family of several hundred people wouldn't have survived until today!

If all his people die by then, all he has done will be meaningless!

Thinking of this, Lü Ci suppressed his killing intent and looked at Qu Tong, saying in a deep voice:

"Get to the point, I don't have that much patience."

Seeing that he was softening, Qu Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then calmed herself down and looked deeply at Wang Bing.

Lu Ci frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but look behind him.

At this moment, Wang Bing, who was leaning against the door of the secret room, saw two people looking at him with ill intentions, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Even if he were stupid, he would understand that Qu Tong was trying to scheme against him!

"What...what do you want to do..."

"Master Lü, you can't do this to me!"

To Wang Bing's wailing, Lü Ci merely snorted coldly, then turned to Qu Tong and said in a deep voice:

"Can this good-for-nothing quell Feng Tianci's anger?"

"Of course!" Qu Tong smiled slightly and immediately replied:

"Mr. Lü, please think about it carefully."

“Feng Tianci came to us after the Tongtian Valley incident, which means he must have learned something from someone.”

"But throughout the whole affair, I only secretly contributed my efforts, and I did it very discreetly."

"Not to mention you, sir, you weren't involved at all."

"Only Wang Bing not only sent out the last remaining assassins in his household, but also secretly colluded with foreign forces."

"Finally, they even used letters to expose the location of Tongtian Valley to all the sects of the supernatural."

"Let's use this opportunity to get those people to surround and attack Feng Tianci, and then eliminate him!"

"So, all we need to do is hand him over to appease Feng Tianci's anger."

"After all, he is a remnant of the Wang family, and a major threat to that kid!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci closed his eyes slightly.

Qu Tong is right; he really didn't participate in anything from beginning to end.

Even their arrival here, and even their own waking up, were all forced upon them.

Now that Feng Tianci has come to settle scores, he's venting his anger on the Lü family, which is infuriating.

There was nothing we could do; they had the bigger fists!

Therefore, in order to protect the Lü family, he resorted to this desperate measure, intending to die here along with himself to appease Feng Tianci's anger.

However, Qu Tong's words have now awakened him.

It seems quite right to place all the blame on Wang Bing.

Even if Feng Tianci still wants to kill him, he should at least be able to protect the Lü family!

Thinking of this, he slowly turned his gaze to Wang Bing.

The killing intent in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

Upon seeing this, Wang Bing was immediately alarmed, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
