Xiao Chen calmly met his gaze, and the two confronted each other; the silent struggle had already begun.
Nan Qianyue could clearly sense the different auras from both sides. She clenched her fingers and spoke again, but without much force, "This is the Prime Minister's manor. If you kill someone here, aren't you just tarnishing the Prime Minister's reputation?"
Qin Yi's expression was almost completely bleak. Her repeated defense of Xiao Chen was like stabbing him in the heart again and again.
He suppressed the surging magma in his chest and said, word by word, "I will have the blood wiped clean."
Xiao Chen smiled dismissively, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
Qin Yihan raised his eyes, placed his palm on the table, and sent a surge of internal energy along the table toward Xiao Chen.

But in reality, they didn't go all out; they were holding back. Otherwise, if their internal energy were broken, it would definitely have injured Nan Qianyue.

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "It's good that you're alright."
Qin Yi lowered his hand, concealing it in his sleeve, before using his inner strength to reopen the wound on his wrist, a result of being distracted during the raid on the assassins' hideout last night.
