Nan Lihuo spoke calmly.

Xu Jiuqing snapped his fingers, dispersing the sword qi that bound Zhao Jianmian.

Zhao Jianmian clasped his fists and bowed, "Zhao Jianmian, I accept the punishment."

Nan Lihuo waved his hand dismissively.

"Zhao Mou has failed in his supervision, causing his beloved daughter to be frightened. My apologies to you both," he said.

Zhang Ya was somewhat at a loss.

Li Che glanced at Zhao Jianmian, but his expression softened.

"It's not Steward Zhao's fault; Shangguan Qinglei was seduced by the evil people from the Corpse God Cult hiding within the Divine Sect. It was unavoidable," he said.

Li Che spoke out, directly exposing the matter.
