"Qian Ran, who should I believe?"
On one side was Qian Ran's rational analysis; on the other was the debt of gratitude she owed Mu En for nurturing her all these years.
Setting feelings aside, Qian Ran's account was undoubtedly better supported and more convincing.
The person she had always respected most had suddenly become her enemy. Who could bear that?
"You should believe in yourself. You should know who's right." Qian Ran had merely offered an analysis. For all he knew, the Xu Family might have been the ones who wiped out Zhang Lexuan's family.

It would be interesting if he could win Kong Deming over to Zhang Lexuan's side.

That included the Phoenix God Fire Qian
