Sun Jie had certainly noticed the change in Li Xuan's expression and sighed before he said, "What I'm saying may not be pleasant to hear, but bitter medicine often cures sickness, and frank advice grates on the ear. Since ancient times, heroes have struggled to get past the allure of beautiful women, yet some have succeeded. Those who do are the real heroes. Xuan Shao, must you decide whether you are going to be one of those heroes, or will you become a true overlord?"
Li Xuan was silent for a moment and then frantically searched around in his pockets before finding a cigar. After lighting and taking a deep puff, he finally felt a bit more at peace.
Then, amidst the swirling smoke, Li Xuan said, "Thank you, Sun Jie, but I still want to give it a try. As for Fang Yi..." He took another long drag of his cigar before continuing, "someone will naturally deal with him!"
A cold gleam flitted across Li Xuan's eyes, there and gone in an instant.
