"You still dare to speak!"
The Phoenix Empress glared at Ye Xiao.
That fellow could have told her about that matter directly, but in the end, he insisted on taking it on himself.
Were all men such creatures that cared about their reputation?
If she had been the one to step forward from the start, it would definitely have been much easier to handle. Everyone would have had an explanation for each other, so it was better to suppress it. They would not have made such a big fuss.
In the end, it was all good although he had provoked the Qilin King suddenly, and the Qilin King would definitely not let it go so easily in the future. He might even find some trouble with him later on.
Ye Xiao shrugged.
"It's fine. In any case, you can't bear to see me die. With you bearing the brunt of it, what's there to worry about?"
