Xiao Li was speechless for a long time while he looked Qi Xiu Yuan up and down as if he does not recognize him. After another moment flashed by, unable to withstand the expectation that dwelled in the eyes that took in his, Xiao Li turned away, "What do you mean leave together, weren't you just scared a moment ago?"

"Could it be that you're not scared?" Qi Xiu Yuan's determined eyes captured Xiao Li's as he exerted more strength in his hand, "You even blamed yourself for not remembering that Hong Tou's grandfather had passed away already.[1] Are you really not tormented by nightmares when you kill people?"

Although Xiao Li's expression did not change even the slightest, his entire body on the other hand immediately stiffened, to the point that even his wrist that was being held tightly by Qi Xiu Yuan appeared to shake.

"Go with me," said Qi Xiu Yuan, his voice laced with impatient, "There's no need to care about those things anymore. We can go to a small place somewhere together. Even if it's in a small county, a village, we can still live peacefull——"

Xiao Li lightly sighed and stretched his hand out to hit the wound on Qi Xiu Yuan's head, causing him to painfully take in a breath of cold air. Then Xiao Li lowered his head to look at him and asked, "Are you awake yet?" Seeing that Qi Xiu Yuan still wanted to retort, Xiao Li continued, "Do you think you can escape unscathed? And what about Susu? Are you going to leave her here or take her with you to some village?"

"If you are willing to go with me," Qi Xiu Yuan looked up, "Susu already has someone that can take good care of her."

Xiao Li stared down at him for a moment as his brows tightened before he spoke with a serious tone, "Are you hiding something from me?"

At those words, Qi Xiu Yuan's face ashen while both his eyes appeared to have sunken even more, and beneath the light they looked like a pair of pristine black stones.

"'The path they walk may be different from ours but they are humans just like us.' My grandfather did not say these words, but he is truly Feng Long's Du Yan San Ge." The light from those black stones shot towards Xiao Li's silhouette as Qi Xiu Yuan softly spoke, "During the latter years of his life, this title was placed on someone's else, that person had also passed away a long time ago."

The expression on Xiao Li's face change to one of confusion and misgiving. He hesitated for a moment but still stretched out his free hand and rest it on Qi Xiu Yuan's forehead to check his temperature.

Qi Xiu Yuan searched for his line of sight but it was blocked by his wrist so he leaned his head slightly to the side. Even then, the tone of his voice did not change, "After he abandoned the life of an outlaw, he resumed his original family name and named his son Qi Feng."

He looked at the shocked expression that took place solace on Xiao Li's face while trying his hardest not to smile, "Later on, my father and mother became known as Feng Long Shuang Sha,[2] when they were apprehended by the police, there was a car crash. The person that apprehended them back then is now the Premier of the People's Republic of China and head of the Ministry of Public Safety, Sun Ze Yu."

Xiao Li silently took hold of Qi Xiu Yuan's hand as his voice softened, "He knew my parents from a long time ago and had a really close relationship with them......" he paused and looked at Xiao Li before speaking again, "As long as you're willing to go with me, he will look after Susu, he would even look after Xiao Yang——"
