Everyone present looked at Yang Li, then at Sikong Jing, unable to guess how things would unfold.
"Why would I deliberately harm you? If it weren't for the Shadow Moon Rat, why would we go to your courtyard, given our status?" Yang Hua was so furious that she was beginning to speak without restraint.
Tilting his head, Sikong Jing replied, "How would I know? Maybe you wanted to kill Captain Hua's father?"

Yang Hua was so enraged she was about to explode. Unable to restrain herself, she erupted with true energy and lunged at Sikong Jing.
