"Guan Ting, who are you planning to kill? Why not tell this Prince?"
Guan Ting was startled to see Mo Xiuyao, his white hair conspicuous, emerge from within. This time, however, he wasn't particularly afraid of Mo Xiuyao. In Guan Ting's mind, he was now a loyal minister of Great Chu and a confidant of His Majesty, while Mo Xiuyao was merely a universally despised traitor. More importantly, there were at least three thousand elite soldiers inside and outside this small city, whereas Mo Xiuyao had only a few dozen men. Even if the Mo Family Army was formidable, Guan Ting couldn't conceive of any reason why he, with such an advantageous position, should fail. Thus, after the initial shock, Guan Ting's expression when looking at Mo Xiuyao once again became arrogant and ferocious, his eyes—made even smaller by the fat that had accumulated on his face from years of overindulgence—filled with venomous resentment and jealousy.
