Chen Ruobai extended his slender and fair fingers, gently smoothing out the crease between Xiao Muyan's brows, and whispered softly, "If he didn't die once, why not just kill Xiao Yu again and get it over with?"
"Do you have confidence, Princess?" Xiao Muyan's frown did not relax at her touch; instead, it deepened. "Chu Yihan saved Xiao Yu and is keeping it secret for now, surely waiting for the right moment. Besides, with so many masters at his side, even the Shadow Guards are hard to deal with. Plus, the Silver Moon Pavilion... Our corpse gu will probably have difficulty breaking in to directly kill Xiao Yu."
Moreover, the military forces had only just started to recover, and it was not yet time to openly wage war against the Great Cheng Dynasty. They could not afford to clash with Chu Yihan, startling the snake in the grass and giving him a legitimate reason to eliminate her, the Xiao family's Second Young Master.
