"Absolutely not!" Xu Zengshan hurried to intervene, playing the part of a peacemaker. "Ye Liangchen, you've already injured Jiao Fuping this badly. That's revenge enough. Please, spare his life."
His words clearly sided with Jiao Fuping but failed to prove any connection between the Long Family and Medicine King Valley.
Ye Xiu continued to test him. "If I don't kill him, he'll just come back for revenge later. Only by killing him can I truly rest easy."
"Killing him would put you in even greater danger," Xu Zengshan warned with grave sincerity. "Ye Liangchen, you may not be aware, but Jiao Fuping's background is far from simple. If you kill him, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I don't care what his background is," Ye Xiu stated stubbornly. "I'll face retaliation whether I kill him or not. By killing him, at least I'll have one less enemy to worry about."
