Yuan Xi strode into the courtyard and pushed straight through the door of Yuan Shao's side chamber.
The moment the door opened, a boot came flying at him.
Yuan Xi shifted slightly aside to dodge it and caught the boot in passing.
Inside the side chamber, Yuan Shao, dressed in his underclothes, stared at Yuan Xi with a livid face, boundless fury filling his eyes. He enunciated each word: "Get out!"
He had woken while Yuan Xi was issuing orders outside the residence. After seeing the bloodstains in the courtyard and the soldiers standing guard, he had understood everything, including his present predicament-he had been imprisoned!
"Why such anger, Father?"
Yuan Xi walked slowly into the side chamber and bent down to put the boot on Yuan Shao's foot, saying with a puzzled expression:
"You didn't want me to be weak, Father. You wanted me to fight for it, so I did. I merely did what you hoped I would. Why are you angry about it now? Could it be that I still haven't done well enough?"
"What I hoped?"
Yuan Shao laughed in utter fury and kicked away Yuan Xi, who was helping him put on his boot. "When did I ever teach you to defy your superiors? When did I teach you to imprison your own father?"
"Where is Xianfu? What have you done to him?"
What concerned him most now was whom Yuan Xi had killed tonight, and whose blood stained the courtyard. Just how was Yuan Shang now?
"As expected, your greatest concern is my third brother."
Yuan Xi sighed, then raised his head and grinned at Yuan Shao.
"Unfortunately, he's already dead."
