The Enigmatic Master Li (2)

"Say something practical."

"Oh, alright, Lord Bazhun'an..." Li Fugui swallowed nervously, unhesitatingly betraying Lord Shou, "Lord Shou's bottom line is that you don't need to send the others. At the very least, you must return Master Siren to us."

"I'll consider it."

"This isn't something to consider, Lord Shou is in grave danger!" Li Fugui added this himself, mimicking Lord Shou's tone.

"Anything else?"

"No, that's it. You must hurry, or Lord Shou won't hold out." Li Fugui added another line on his own.

"I'll consider it." The communication bead paused, then resumed, "Your name is Li Fugui?"

Li Fugui shivered, quickly moving the communication bead away. "Hello? Lord... Bazhun'an?"

"Are you Li Fugui?" Bazhun'an repeated.

Li Fugui's face turned green, clutching his neck, his voice faltering.

"Did... you hear me? Lord... Bazhun... something?"

"..." Silence from the other end.
