Bab 241: The Great Misfortune

"Yes," Nanli said. "You're lucky. Someone else bore the death curse on the skulls, otherwise you'd have to draw lots to decide who would sacrifice themselves."

Fan Yunxi couldn't help but turn to Xie Beihan, her eyes filled with gratitude and pity. As she looked at him, she recalled their kiss, feeling her lips tingle and her face and neck flush red. Thankfully, it was the middle of the night, and the dim candlelight in the hall prevented others from seeing clearly.

Fan Shizhong, feeling deeply apologetic, stepped forward and bowed to Xie Beihan. "It was the Fan family that implicated you, Noble Prince Xie. Rest assured, the Fan family will do everything in its power to find a way to lift the death curse on you."

The 'great misfortune' Xie Beihan, however, seemed unconcerned, waving his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about me. Just take care of your own matters."

He then looked at Nanli with hopeful and pleading eyes.
