The masked man let go of Gu Yunxi, yet his cold gaze remained on Huanan Xin. In a freezing voice, he spoke.
"Prince Chen... The son of the tyrant..."
Before his words died down, he picked up a cobble and shot it at Huanan Xin.

"Are you opposing me for this fool?!"
The masked man turned his stern eyes to Gu Yunxi and withdrew his palm, which crackled as it clenched.
Gu Yunxi blinked and lowered her eyes in horror.
"I dare not... But master, your Kungfu is unparalleled. It's unfair for you to kill Prince Chen now that you know he's retarded."
The masked man's heart was softened when he heard her gently addressing him as "master".
