章 200: Blood of the Beast

Xiao Qi gritted teeth. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Chu Li. "Since King An harbors an ambition to take the throne, he'll never marry my Second Sister. But because the Emperor had personally promised the engagement with our Public House, he could not do anything but adhere to it. Therefore, his best way out of this mess is to kill my Second Sister. Am I right?"

Chu Li sighed and nodded his head.

Xiao Qi asked again, "Does he have the intention to kill my Second Sister?"

Chu Li did not speak.

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth again. Then, she scoffed, "So it seems like the Ren Public House has aligned themselves with King An's forces!"

If King An really wanted to be Emperor, he would do everything he could to void the engagement.

Xiao Qi may not be a master strategist, but her analytical skills were remarkable. She could have everything figured out in just a blink of an eye.
