Averting her gaze, Pei Yixie cleared her throat and replied, "I met with my brother when I was patrolling the north area. I didn't want to go back home, so I ran away."
When he heard this, Fu Guai recalled the information he had heard about the Pei family. "Is Pei Yijun coming to take you home under your father's order?" he asked with a frown.
Shaking her head, Pei Yixie let out a sigh and said, "I don't know. I really don't want to go back to that place. If possible, I don't want to see that man ever again."
"If you want, I can kill him," Fu Guai said casually.
Taken aback by how nonchalant he was, Pei Yixie grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, you can't. My father is not someone you can offend. It's better for you to never cross paths with him."
"Why? Are you worried about me?"
"You are my friend, of course I worry about you," Pei Yixie replied without hesitation.
