Only now did he realize that, compared to the reckless and impulsive Yan family, Xie Wei was the real culprit who ruined all his plans.

Xie Wei sneered, "You've already killed me once, and you want to kill me a second time? Xue Yuan, I really want to dig out your heart and see if it's black!"

As he spoke, he pushed the sword further into Xue Yuan's neck, leaving a blood-soaked wound.

Seeing this, Yan Mu became a little anxious and subconsciously called out Xie Wei's real name, "Dingfei, no!"

Is it definitely not true?

Xue Yuan thought he had misheard, and glared at him coldly, "Yan Mu, what did you call him?"

Yan Mu pointed at Xie Wei, "You didn't expect this, did you? He's not dead yet. He's risen from the ashes like a phoenix and become Xie Wei, the Crown Prince's tutor. He's highly regarded by the Emperor and respected by everyone in the capital!"

But he should have been your child, Xue Yuan! You single-handedly destroyed the glory that belonged to the Xue family!

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he mechanically turned to look at Xie Wei, "You...you are Ding Fei?"

He looked distressed, then suddenly burst into tears, trying to gain Xie Wei's sympathy.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Wei remained completely unmoved, his voice as cold as an icicle, devoid of any emotion, "Xue Dingfei died more than a decade ago. Xue Yuan, don't you remember? You shot him to death with your own hands! The one living in front of you now is Xie Wei, surnamed Xie, and has no relation to the surname Xue whatsoever!"

Xue Yuan was taken aback, and hatred surfaced in his eyes.

That brat! I knew it wouldn't be so easy to fool him. Just like his stubborn mother, he's not likable at all.

To this day, Xue Yuan has never regretted what he did to his wife and eldest son. Because he didn't like them, he had no reason to regret it.

"Xue Yuan, today is your death day. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Xie Wei took a step closer, his body radiating a strong killing intent.

Xue Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, "Dingfei, even if you change your surname and your name, the blood of the Xue family flows in your veins, and that fact can never be erased! Do you want to commit patricide?"
