"Sacred Emperor, Your Humble Servant originally planned to turn our conflicts with Ling Xiao into a peaceful exchange of silks," Si Kong Zui said respectfully to the Sacred Emperor, "but he was unappreciative and ungracious. Please do not blame Your Humble Servant for not being courteous to him."
"It is truly a massive disgrace for the Sacred Dynasty to have a general like you. I'm curious to see how you will be discourteous to me!" Ling Xiao had already made an escape plan, so if he truly offended the Sacred Emperor, he simply planned to flee. If he couldn't defeat them, running away was certainly no problem.
Si Kong Zui's face turned an iron blue, even somewhat fierce, as if he were an evil spirit from Hell, wishing he could devour Ling Xiao alive.
