Bai Yujing remained expressionless in the face of Night-Forgotten Owl's hatred.
He cast him a glance.
"You aren't in very good shape yourself," he said indifferently. "Someone has suppressed you here. Even if you kill me, what difference will it make? You still won't be able to escape."
"At least you'll die first!"
