章節 56: Why should I forgive you?

Gao Lan Mei glanced at the nearest member of the Zicuìyù Regime, "Are you the ones who were supposed to protect me?" her indifferent tone made her assigned protectors flinch.

The five protectors bowed low to her, "Yes young miss!" deciding to answer truthfully, then adding, "We arrived late, but decided not to approach…" the one who spoke wore a blue Oni mask with hawk claw marks on the right cheek, his voice full of apology and sincerity.

Seeing their vice-captain respectfully bowing low to Gao Lan Mei as well as his open admission that Gao Lan Mei was not protected, made their mood sour. Especially the protector wearing the red Oni mask with an eagle's head mark on the right cheek, he was the fifth Regime captain.

Staring at the one who spoke, "Why did you not approach?" she asked, wanting to know what they had witnessed in her courtyard. Gao Lan Mei already decided to be truthful to her father. It would not benefit the Gao family if she hid some of her plans. It would make everyone prepared.

Answering, "We saw that the situation is already under control, and was…" gulping before continuing, "we were… anxious to approach," feeling the sweat sticking to his robes, due to nervousness, of Gao Lan Mei's question as well as the glare of his captain.

He quickly glanced at Gao Lan Mei, but there were no expressions on her face. Tilting her head, "What were you anxious about?" she continued to ask, with an evil glint in her eyes. Her look made those who saw what she was capable of, gulp nervously.

"Ah, young miss!" another of the protectors, shrieked after seeing her eyes, then kneeled to the ground, "Please forgive us!" not exactly knowing what to ask forgiveness for, the protector decided that begging for it was a good idea.

As long as the young miss did not look at them evilly, he would do everything. He did not want to experience the horror of not being able to cultivate!

All the beings in the Lotus Pavilion, except for the four assassins, looked at the protector that was currently kneeling on the ground. The captain wanted to drag this imbecile for acting so shameless.

Looking at the kneeling protector weirdly, "Why should I forgive you?" twitching her lips, not sure if she wanted to smile or scowl. She was not even sure why he was kneeling!

"Please young miss! I have not taken a wife yet! Please do not remove my cultivation!" the kneeling protector continued to cry, desperately. He was the one wearing a dark green Oni mask with the painted head of a Cockatoo on the right cheek.

Not able to help it, "Enough!" the red Oni masked protector shouted. He could not endure the humiliation anymore. "Stand up! Shut up!" then dragged the previously kneeling protector away from Gao Lan Mei.

Shaking his head, then bringing his attention back to Gao Lan Mei, "Young miss, apologies for the noise. He does not know what he is saying." The red Oni masked said.

Gao Qi was not happy with how the protectors acted in front of his daughter so far. "Daughter, pray tell your father what is going on? What does he mean about removing his cultivation?" deciding to ask her instead.

Gao Lan Mei smiled before answering truthfully, "He is not entirely wrong father. I have a way to remove cultivation."
