Fengg Ji came and went in a flash. Of course, he heard and memorized what Liu Bei had said. Despite the casual tone, the undisguised killing intent embedded in Liu Bei's words was unmistakable.
Confronted with this blatant disregard for decorum yet brutally honest behavior, Fengg Ji wasn't sure how to respond. The only thing he could think to do was to relay Liu Bei's exact words to Yuan Shao and let him decide.
"Liu Bei actually said that?" Yuan Shao was momentarily stunned, his face showing clear shock as he asked. He had imagined many possible responses but never expected Liu Bei to openly admit his murderous intentions.
"My Lord, I believe Liu Bei's words lacked any ulterior motives—pure, unadulterated killing intent," Sheni Pei said with a frown. "For a Feudal Lord, it's true that concealing emotions is expected. But at Liu Bei's level, such pretense is unnecessary. He acts as he pleases; maybe that's just his way."
