Bo Yan listened from the side, astounded. He had no interest in prying into the affairs of the Xi Family, but he knew one or two things about them. He had thought they were just ruthless, but he never expected them to be this filthy.
He looked thoughtfully at Xi Yan and Xi Yang beside him, "And these two, what's their story?"
Xi Nian explained, "They are the children of my second uncle. My second uncle and my father had a good relationship, neither harbored ambitions to struggle for power, but still, they couldn't escape the damned shackles of the Xi Family. We three, it's like we've escaped death's clutches, and finally made our way back to the Xi Family."
Though he spoke lightly, the effort involved was certainly not easy. To return to the Xi Family and even get a share of power beside Xi Gu, the scorned son, Xi Nian's tactics, experience, and depth of character were certainly formidable.
