Chapter 45: A Chance to Admit One’s Mistake in Good Faith (Part 2)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The moment Lu Jiu Que's voice cut off, everyone present was holding their breath. They were so shocked that they were at a loss for words.
After they recovered from the shock, the way everyone was looking at Lu Jiu Que was no longer the kind of disdainful look that people usually gave to worthless trash. Instead, it was the look of avoidance that they would show to a God of Plague!
What the hell!
This, this, this… Did this Lu Jiu Que have any idea who she was talking to?!
Darn it. If she was trying to court death, couldn't she be kind enough not to pull everyone down with her?!
The man squinted. In his eyes, Lu Jiu Que's image had successfully been promoted from a mischievous child to an unruly cub.
"So, that means you're not going to admit your mistake?"
Lu Jiu Que raised her brows. Her dark little face was full of courage and arrogance.
From the man's point of view, she was just like a tiny crazed lion that was ready to fly into a rage at any time. Though extremely small and weak, she had quite high levels of spirit and energy.
How long had it been since he last met such an arrogant and rampant youngster?
Having thought about this, the man suddenly had a vague feeling of anticipation.
Unconsciously, the man was constantly increasing the power and influence he was exerting over Lu Jiu Que. He was curious about the extent to which he had to go before he could force this little girl to bend over and give in.
At this moment, the crowd was already feeling compelled to pray for Lu Jiu Que in their hearts…
Lu Jiu Que was really the first who dared to openly act in defiance against this man.
No one knew what her fate would eventually be…
Just as the people were speculating how much longer this arrogant and naive Lu Jiu Que could survive, she suddenly smiled brightly and said, "It's also pretty easy for me to admit my mistake. The thing is, I'm not sure if My Lord is willing to give me the opportunity."
What?!
So, she was just going to concede defeat?
There was no need to talk about how stunned people all were; even the man himself was feeling some slight disappointment. "Well? What opportunity do you have in mind?"
Lu Jiu Que smiled in a way that seemed a little like she was deferring to him. "Of course, I mean the opportunity to admit my mistake in good faith."
"Alright. Since you want this opportunity, I shall give it to you."
"Thank you, My Lord."
Lu Jiu Que saluted the man in all seriousness. Then with a sudden movement of her feet, she attacked at the speed of lightning, without allowing the others a chance to react. She lifted her hand and ruthlessly landed a slap on Qin Ying's face.
Smack…
This slap was crisp and neat, not the least bit hesitant or sloppy. The hit caused Qin Ying to fall to the ground with a thud.
Her cheeks were seriously swollen, and her hair was a mess. Blood was flowing out from the corners of her mouth ceaselessly, and even her wisdom teeth were faintly loosened.
Qin Ying was baffled. Ye Hui was baffled. Everyone was baffled. Even the man was baffled.
This… This was what Lu Jiu Que had meant when she said she was going to admit her mistake in good faith?!
What a joke!
Was anyone sure this wasn't a challenge against their entire sect test?
The expression Qin Ying had on her face after regaining a clear mind wasn't merely one that showed overwhelming shock. It seemed like she really wished she could bite Lu Jiu Que until she died!
This worthless waste of a human being!
She had dared to hit her?!
But after daring to openly challenge the authority and stateliness of a lord like this, even without her continuing to fight, Lu Jiu Que was a goner!
And Qin Ying's prediction wasn't wrong. At this point in time, there were waves of anger rolling through the man's heart.
At the beginning, he had thought that Lu Jiu Que was just a little more mischievous than originally expected. But from what he knew now, she wasn't mischievous. She was arrogant and stubborn to the point that she would never change!
To think he had still thought of giving her a chance. There was no need for that now. He could wipe her out right away.
There was a flash of ice in his eyes. Just as the man was ready to make his move, Lu Jiu Que suddenly stopped smiling and said something with a face full of anguish.
These words instantly caused the murderous intent in the man's eyes to diminish. His handsome face that had been so mighty and majestic went from purple to white, then from white to red. It was really an extreme change…
Well, in short, it was a terrible feeling, as though he had just swallowed a fly.
