Hu Xiaotian said, "I have no prejudice. The Li Family's rise or fall, whether they live or die, has nothing to do with me-not a single copper's worth." After venting, he actually felt much of the oppressive weight on his chest lift. He added to Xi Yan, "And remember this: whether you want to kill Xue Daoming or Wanyan Chixiong, it has nothing to do with me. I won't take part in any more of your plans. On the day of your wedding, I'll leave the Yong Capital and flee as far as I can."
"You..."
Hu Xiaotian said, "I only stopped your reckless antics before out of concern for the people of the Central Plains, and because I had the tiniest bit of feeling for you. Call that my little selfish motive. Since you don't appreciate it, why the hell should I keep pressing my warm face against your cold backside?"
Xi Yan's pretty face burned at his crude language. He was simply too vulgar, actually saying something so shameless and obscene.
Xi Yan said, "Aren't you afraid..."
Before she could finish her threat, Hu Xiaotian cut her off. "What's there to fear? If I'm not afraid of being a eunuch, would I be afraid of dying?"
Xi Yan said, "Do you think you can escape?"
"That's not something you need to trouble yourself over."
Xi Yan said, "There's something you probably don't know. Your mother isn't in the Capital City anymore!"
Hu Xiaotian froze at her words. Looking at Xi Yan dubiously, he asked, "And how do you know that?"
Xi Yan said, "She went back to her family's home in Jinling. Ji Feihua sent people to escort her."
Hu Xiaotian gave a cold chuckle, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Xi Yan said, "You've always been so suspicious.
