Shen Yuan acted as if he felt nothing. He looked silently at Yao Guang, his gaze unclear. "Yao Guang, you want to kill me."

Yao Guang's icy voice rang, "Did you participate in Qi Country's destruction?"

Shen Yuan paused before replying, "Yes."

Yao Guang's heart felt heavy. She continued to ask, "You came to Qi Country to collect information in order to conspire against it?"

Shen Yuan paused and responded lowly, "Yes."

Although he wanted to stop the emperor, if he persisted and angered the emperor, his many years' worth of conspiracy would've been ruined.

He did have to do with the Qi Country's destruction.

Yao Guang asked really softly, "Why?"

Right now, her heart was full of desperation. Her nails stabbed into her palm and her hands were slightly trembling.

Through the silence, Yao Guang heard Shen Yuan's clear voice.

But it was that far and unfamiliar to her.

"I can't disobey the emperor's orders."

Yao Guang looked at Shen Yuan.

She should've known that the moment she encountered Shen Yuan, she would fall into a dark and icy cage, and never be able to escape from it.

The dagger was still placed in front of Shen Yuan's chest and hatred flickered in Yao Guang's eyes.

At this time.

Shen Yuan slowly walked forward and placed his hands over Yao Guang's.

He slightly exerted strength and pulled Yao Guang forward.

Yao Guang leaned forward, landing in a gentler embrace. Shen Yuan's breath enveloped her.

At the same time, the blade stabbed right into Shen Yuan's body.

The sharp pain spread but Shen Yuan's expression remained unmoved. He didn't even lift his brows.

He slowly said, "I owe you."

Yao Guang was frozen.

It seemed as if Shen Yuan couldn't feel pain as he stared fixated on Yao Guang. He stubbornly held her hands, tightening his grasp.

The fresh blood flowed down along the blade and onto their clothes.

Shen Yuan softly sighed. "Sorry, Yao Guang."

He confessed to everything under this quiet night but also pushed Yao Guang further. The two may never be together now.

Shen Yuan felt as if someone slit his heart open. He lifted his hand wanting to touch Yao Guang's face.

Before he could touch her, Yao Guang already shifted her head.

Yao Guang left and turned to leave. Shen Yuan didn't chase after her.
