Chapter 524 - 348: After Darkness Comes Light
"I didn’t hide, I simply turned my own tail into someone else’s," Xiao Song said with a curve in his eyes, rolling over to face her.
"Fox," Ran Yan hummed.
Xiao Song said, "With so many bodies and blood, merely hiding would only end in exposure. Moreover, to not utilize such a great opportunity would be a pity, wouldn’t it? Some people won’t realize the pain of playing with fire until they get burned."
"So you mean to say you diverted this disaster towards Li Tai and Princess Baling?" Ran Yan rolled over to face him, "How did you hurt your leg?"
"Well, I merely caught a few assassins from Li Tai’s household, fed them Red Dust Powder, locked them up with the most handsome young man from the Princess Mansion, and then set the house on fire. However, I only burned half of the house before those people suffocated to death. My leg was accidentally injured by an assassin," Xiao Song spoke slowly, carefully watching her expressions, fearing that Ran Yan would think him too cruel.
Ran Yan’s heart skipped a beat, yet she didn’t mind his actions, only thinking about the assassins from Li Tai’s household...he was so concerned about Su Fu...
Ran Yan pursed her lips slightly and remained silent, gazing downwards.
"You want to know if Su Fu was among those people, don’t you?" Xiao Song’s tone returned to normal, looking into Ran Yan’s eyes, seeing her struggle to ask yet holding back, he felt both hateful and pitying. Ran Yan had always been straightforward; if she truly had no feelings, she wouldn’t be so hesitant.
In Ran Yan’s heart, he, Xiao Song, might be the most important, but that Su Fu was not easy to erase either.
Xiao Song sighed softly, reaching out to stroke her hair, "Don’t worry, he isn’t one of them."
