The firewood was stacked, and Li Sangruo and Yuan Shuo were bound side by side, hands tied behind their backs, looking like two disheveled rice dumplings—one large and one small.
Li Zongxun took a torch from the Soldier's hand and slowly walked to the side of the battlement to look down.
"Pei Jue, observe closely. I will also give you a quarter of an hour to consider! After the quarter of an hour, once the torch burns out, it will be the end."
Li Zongxun did not reveal Pei Jue's true identity in front of the Soldiers of both armies, nor did he dare to touch upon the relationship between Li Sangruo and himself...
In front of so many people, Pei Jue could not possibly admit his identity as the remnant of the Xie Family.
The moment he admits he is Xie Xian's son, his status in Dajin would be affected; at the very least, he would no longer be the legitimate descendant of the founding Pei Family.
This was the secret Pei Jue vowed to protect with his life.
