"No way!" Xie Jue replied truthfully. If it hadn't been for Fang Chuning, he would have snatched the Jade Seal himself.
"You won't even bother to lie to me," Xie Xun roared, kicking a stool away in fury, his anger boiling over. Xie Jue, knowing he was upset, spoke calmly, "If it weren't for me, Fang Chuning wouldn't be taking the blame for Han Ziqi's murder. Zhixu, consider it repaying him a favor."
"Do you believe those words yourself?"
"Do you want me to tell you the truth?"
"I'm going to practice my swordsmanship!"
Xie Jue knew Xie Xun would be angry, and, in truth, he had no excuse. On the territory of the Twelve States, Fang Chuning had taken Xiaoqi and the Jade Seal and left, which truly shouldn't have happened. The Grand Marshal sending anyone else would have failed, except Fang Chuning. If Xie Jue hadn't known about the Jade Seal, it would've been fine, but knowing and still letting Fang Chuning leave? No wonder Xie Xun was furious.
