Killing Liu Chu means Xu Fan will die. Not killing him, Xu Fan cannot participate in the evaluation and will also die! Either way, it's death. Since that's the case, why not use this extreme method to gamble for a sliver of life!
Maybe, with this commotion caused by Xu Fan, the higher-ups will be alarmed, and there could be a turnaround in the situation?
As for how Xu Fan's actions might impact him and any potential punishment that might ensue, Old Immortal has never thought about it.
Old Immortal's silence left Liu Chu utterly hopeless. His narrow eyes lost their color, and waves of heat poured out, soaking a large patch of ground. With Old Immortal expressing his stance through silence, Liu Chu actually collapsed!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Liu Chu, looking almost insane, kept begging, and then his eyes rolled back, fainting directly in the pungent liquid.
This scene made Old Immortal furrow his brows deeply.
