Xue Peijun's breathing turned a little rapid as she watched the scene unfold before her. The emperor's favored courtier, Guanglu Doctor Guo Yanjun, died just like that, his neck torn open, blood splattering all over the ground, a horrifying sight.
She looked at the Divine General before her.
"Th-this is…"
Yuwen Lie spoke briefly and to the point, his voice cool:
"You are Xue Daoyong's daughter. Jiang Yuan does not trust you."
"And by association, it implicates Qin Yulong."
Xue Peijun's feelings were rather mixed. She had a free and easy temperament, so that when she roamed the Martial World she was able to befriend Qin Yulong; the two took to each other, fell in love, and married without ever telling Xue Daoyong.
She had already harbored hidden misgivings in her heart.
She worried whether her birth and background would affect Qin Yulong in any way.
