"how's it going."

"Hmm...it's nothing."

"Stubborn to the end. By the way, are you still calling that person from last time to pick you up?"

"Need not."

"Um?"

"...No need to notify anyone. I'll go by myself."

"Oh, so you're still being stubborn, huh?"

Qi Xie turned her head away, her face pale.

"Is that your butler? Why didn't you notify him?"

"..."

"You definitely need to explain the reason clearly. If you're an enemy and you're hiding here, then I'm definitely in danger. If you don't explain clearly, how am I supposed to know whether I should run away or not?"

"I have already killed him."

"What!"

"They colluded with outsiders to plunder wealth and provisions... When I returned, my family was all dead. All our belongings were gone, so I killed them all." Qi Xie spoke calmly, but his voice was unusually hoarse.

For some reason, Feng Ran felt that Qi Xie was more frustrated and sad than she had ever seen before.

"Your family... must be very powerful, right? How could this be..."

"They colluded with my family's mortal enemy. They directly poisoned him..."

My condolences...

...

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Let's go right away."

"No need. The person's already been killed. And since you're already here, if you leave now, others can definitely find out if they really want to investigate."

Besides, I went through a lot to save your life. Just stay here for now.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What can I do if I'm afraid? Who told you to come here?"

She's terrified, okay? But you're already here. What can she do now?

Qi Xie realized this, and now his mind was also in turmoil.

Last night, after killing someone and running away, I realized I might be dying soon. So, inexplicably, I came here.

He just wanted to see this woman one last time before leaving.

Unexpectedly, this frightened her, and she ended up saving him.
