章 182: Too Much Anguish

Was Yu Qiubai befriending Shen Xi because of her brother? 

If that was the case, Shen Xi was not going to let him succeed regardless of his motives. 

Yu Qiubai started to doubt his own speculation. Perhaps Shen Xi really had nothing to do with that person. Still, he wanted to probe. "The Li family was annihilated twenty years ago. Yan Chen the Fifth went missing on the same day. The Fifth Family said he was dead, but recently there was news that the Fifth Family was tracking him."

"Five years ago, the Fifth Family was wiped out the same way as the Li family was. Speculation had it that Yan Chen the Fifth did it, and he has now returned to seek vengeance for his maternal family."

Shen Xi's heart sank as she listened to the story. She however still held a blank expression and continued to walk.
