Compared to the frantic Xu Qianqing, Luo Xiu seemed as calm as ever.
He'd only just arrived at the Chu Family yesterday, and today people from the Imperial Palace had already come looking for him. It was clear his whereabouts were no secret to the truly powerful.
With that thought, Luo Xiu gently shook his head and said, "There's no need, Qian Qing. We have to face what we must."
Hearing this, Xu Qianqing grew even more anxious. "Luo Xiu, can't you just listen to me this once? I'll take you out through the back door right now!"
Luo Xiu single-handedly massacred the Ye Family with his sword, killing so many people. How grave a crime was that? If he were taken away now, he would surely never return!
Luo Xiu placed a hand on her shoulder and said earnestly, "First, they already know I'm at the Chu Family. If you help me escape now, the Chu Family will be guilty of harboring a criminal, which will only bring you unnecessary trouble."
