For Jing Lie, killing Qin Hao was hardly difficult; it would take no more than a casual flick of his hand. What truly troubled him...
Was how to win over Li Yunchan!
After all, only by winning over Li Yunchan could he secure the Li Family's support and gain enough resources to attempt his breakthrough to divine king.
Yet Li Yunchan seemed particularly fond of Qin Hao.

Coupled with how intimate Li Yunchan and Qin Hao appeared now, Jing Lie had no choice
