Chapter 121 Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 121

"I, I'm a little scared." The second brother finally sighed and said softly.

It would have been fine if the second brother had been laying the groundwork when he spoke, but now his words suddenly turned pale, which made Li Huoyue a little flustered.

She wasn't very good at comforting people, and she couldn't guess what could have made the second child look like that.

"What happened?" Li Huoyue moved closer and asked patiently.

The second brother raised his eyes and looked straight into Li Huoyue's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue was startled and paused, "What, what happened?"

The second brother sighed. The sister in front of him was considered fierce and spoiled by the outside world, but he had watched this child grow up. Apart from pretending to be calmer than her peers, she was not actually a very fierce person.

"The red dots in the picture...they should represent time travelers." The second brother spoke in a gloomy tone, "We have some in our house."

It turns out that I was afraid of this.

Li Huoyue shrugged, as if what the second brother said was no big deal, and said: "It's Jiang Yunshu, drive him out and he will be gone."

The carriage, which was originally moving steadily, suddenly accelerated. Li Huoyue opened the curtain, took a look at the quiet path, and said to Jiang Yunshu, who was driving the carriage, "Stop for a while and go play over there for a while."

Jiang Yunshu reined in his horse, curled his lips, jumped off the carriage and snorted, saying as he walked, "I'll be back in half an hour! Don't think of abandoning me!"

Li Huoyue did not refute. It seemed that Jiang Yunshu quite liked being a coachman.

After Jiang Yunshu walked away angrily, Li Huoyue listened attentively to the movements around him, and when he found nothing unusual, he lowered the curtain.

"It's not him." The second brother replied firmly.

Li Huoyue didn't know how the second brother excluded Jiang Yunshu, so he could only pretend to lower his head and think about who it was, "Is that so..."

It’s not that Li Huoyue is on guard against the second brother, she just doesn’t want to implicate him.

If the second brother knew that Li Huoyue was a time traveler, then from then on whenever Li Huoyue did anything to stand out, he would be stopped by the second brother in advance.

Will also be frightened.

More importantly, Li Huoyue couldn't be sure, if the second brother knew that Li Huoyue was a time traveler, would he still treat her as a family member?

Would he ever wonder what his real sister would look like if Li Huoyue hadn’t traveled through time?

At this critical moment, Li Huoyue didn't dare to gamble.

The second brother observed Li Huoyue's expression, figured out something, and asked:

"It's the mother, right?"

This question was obviously beyond Li Huoyue's thinking range, but she quickly reacted. Instead of saying anything directly, she sighed.

The second brother smiled bitterly:

"When did it happen? You knew about it from the beginning, right?"

Li Huoyue didn't dare to look at the second brother and just shook his head.

"Did she travel through time while on a mission? That's why we can't find her. Mother..." The second brother seemed to have accepted his own deduction. He choked up for a while when he said this. After calming down for a long time, he asked with difficulty, "...Is she still alive?"

This time Li Huoyue answered quickly. She didn't dare to be vague about this matter. "She's still alive!"

The second brother was obviously relieved, and his breathing was much calmer than before.

"You took the initiative to see His Majesty because your mother is a time traveler?" The second brother also knew that his mother had said before that Li Huoyue would not be allowed to see His Majesty. "Do you want to protect that time traveler?"

Li Huoyue's heart sank and her face turned a little cold. The dim light in the car could not hide her expression.

She didn't even want to hide. She asked, "If I say yes, will you stop me? Do you think that because my mother traveled through time, she is no longer my mother and should be killed?"

This is a very normal mentality. Li Huoyue has seen many mansions that they reported to have time travelers, and most of them have the same mentality.

They are influenced by the Southern Country's attitude towards time travelers since birth, and basically have no sympathy for time travelers. The love they had for the original owner will not be inherited by the time travelers.

What people feel more towards time travelers is fear and hatred.

Time travelers seem like unclean things, and no one would really like the people around them to be suddenly replaced by time travelers.

Li Huoyue had never heard of anything like those things in novels where someone suddenly changed his personality and behavior habits and was welcomed by the people around him in the South.

It is normal for the second child to be like this, after all, his father is a special inspector.

Rather than asking the second child about his attitude towards his mother, Li Huoyue was more asking about his attitude towards time travelers.

"Huo Huo, you..." The second brother was surprised why Li Huoyue thought like this, but he couldn't say anything harsh to Li Huoyue's face. After thinking for a while, he said, "...Your ideas are always too radical."

Li Huoyue: “…Oh.”

"Can you tell at this moment when your mother traveled through time?" After the second brother cursed Li Huoyue for no reason, he said again, "My mother has cultivated my interest and logic in doing business since I was a child. I feel that many times, the methods and ideas proposed by my mother are indeed very forward-looking and novel. I think she may not be the one who traveled through time recently." How could there be only one person in the Sang Mansion?

Shouldn't they be two time travelers?

Li Huoyue was analyzing step by step when he suddenly heard Lao Er ask again:
