"When that happens, unless you can put down everything, flee from the Imperial Capital, and be willing to forever live in the shadows, you're left with no room to retreat in this contest!" Seeing how Yan Liqiang was silent, Ji Xiaoyao shook his head gently.
"Even if I wish to escape now, it's not possible anymore. Since the other party has everything planned out, how could he possibly not think of the possibility that I might cower? There might already be people that have their eyes on me outside Deer Villa at this moment. As long as I attempt to escape, the other party will find out immediately. Moreover, if I do escape, His Majesty wouldn't let me off either and my father would be implicated as well. It's like what Master said. Right now, I'm left with no room to escape. I can only brace myself and get through it!"
