Li Minghua was alive…? Was Wen Jinkai hearing Xue Yue correctly? His head shot upwards and he stared at her, astonishingly. His lips were parted and he felt dizzy from the information.

"You heard me correctly," Li Xueyue said. "Li Minghua is alive."

"And how do you know?" Wen Jinkai said as he took a step closer to her.

Li Xueyue jutted her chin in the air, not once shrinking back from his intimidating glare. He continued walking towards her and she remained rooted. She knew his ploy. He was attempting to scare her into telling the truth, but that was the truth—Li Minghua didn't die in that fire. She survived it because the Empress allowed her to.

"I will tell you, but not here," Li Xueyue said.

Her eyes shifted to the Shadow Guards. She knew revealing this information would put her at risk. People might accuse her of being the Empress's murderer, but something told her Wen Jinkai would not rat her out like that.
