Finally, Uncle Wu summoned the courage to speak.
"Envoy of Taiping Dao!"
Wu Lie called Su Mu "senior," and Su Mu, with his back turned to Wu Lie, was momentarily stunned.
This scene fell into Wu Lie's eyes, and immediately he felt a pang of fear, thinking he had displeased Su Mu. But seeing the fire growing larger, he could only tremble and speak again, "Senior Envoy, a few of my close relatives were taken up the mountain by the rebels earlier. May I go up the mountain to rescue them?"
Finally, as Wu Lie spoke of the rescue, Su Mu went along with it.
"You are not part of the Black Mountain Army, nor are you on tonight's list of the dead. This matter does not concern me."
"But if anyone dares to hinder me, they will die!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Lie was both terrified and overjoyed, hurriedly bowing repeatedly to Su Mu.
"Such great kindness cannot be repaid with words. Senior Envoy's magnanimity is deeply appreciated by me!"
