Cao Yi hesitated for a moment:
"Do you want me dead?"
Li Yang replied:
"Life and death are not up to you."
Cao Yi smiled:
"Alright."
Li Yang chuckled softly:
"I didn't expect you to agree so readily."
Cao Yi relaxed, showing his roguish side, and sat in the chair, saying:
"My life hasn't been mine for a long time. Selling it one more time is a profit for me."
Li Yang shook his head slightly:
"You've certainly profited. I originally intended to take another person's life."
Cao Yi chuckled:
"Whose life would you find more appealing than mine?"
Li Yang looked up at Cao Yi:
"Xie Qilin."
The smile froze on Cao Yi's face upon hearing the name Xie Qilin:
"But I have no evidence."
Cao Yi knew that when Li Yang mentioned the name Xie Qilin, it had two implications.
The first was that Li Yang had his eyes on Xie Qilin, and if Cao Yi had not sought him out today, Li Yang would have claimed Xie Qilin's soul.
