Wang Xiaoqiang really wasn't intimidating these two sect leaders; he sincerely wanted to report this matter to the Biluo Heavenly Emperor. However, seeing Yuu Chengfeng, the dignified sect leader of Wind Rain Pavilion, humbly begging him, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a pang of compassion. His gaze shifted to Qu Linglong, knowing that he had always yielded to gentleness rather than sternness. As long as Qu Linglong remained unyielding before him, this issue would never be resolved peacefully.
Qu Linglong bit her red lips with her ivory teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. Yet, she resisted letting the tears fall and stubbornly refused to bow her head, because she had never lowered herself to any man.
No matter if it's her cultivation base, her work at Wind Rain Pavilion, or her relationships, she always follows her own heart and never compromises to anyone. Thus, even at her age, she remains a maiden, refusing to even let unsuitable n touch her.
Her pride has made her a solitary figure.
Seeing Qu Linglong's proud deanor, Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, "Hmph, you make mistakes yet show no remorse, don't know how to apologize, and still act so arrogant. You make mistakes and still play the innocent, make mistakes and also act aggrieved...Who gives you the capital for such pride..."
Wang Xiaoqiang's words were seemingly directed at Qu Linglong, but in truth, he was also addressing Yuu Chengfeng, reprimanding him for indulging Qu Linglong. As the deputy tower master is so arrogant, the main sect leader has unavoidable responsibility.
Indeed, during everyday operations, Yuu Chengfeng was indulgent with Qu Linglong—not because he had ulterior motives or wished to exploit her—but because Qu Linglong had so friendship with his two daughters and often played together, hence Yuu Chengfeng would frequently yield to her.
However, hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, Yuu Chengfeng beca angry too, and roared at Qu Linglong, "Qu Linglong, who do you think you are? If Ann Qilang wasn't dead, I wouldn't have promoted you to deputy tower master! What's there to be proud of? What pride do you have? You can risk your own life swaggering, but don't risk mine too! I'm just over fifty and not ready to die yet..."
Qu Linglong's tears finally fell, her jade-like hands gripped tightly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms and drawing blood, her teeth biting down fiercely, making her red lips bleed.
Still, she didn't open her mouth to admit fault.
Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't let her off due to her arrogance. He sneered coldly, "Hmph, you sure have a backbone, but to , this shows weakness. If you make mistakes, you should bravely admit them, take responsibility, not stubbornly persist or flaunt your pride. If such arrogance costs lives, are you prepared to regret it even after death? Of course, if you don't care about others' lives, you can keep persisting...but let's see how long you can hold out..."
Wang Xiaoqiang was also furious; he had never seen such an arrogant woman, especially when she was arrogant about her own mistakes. Nonetheless, he, Wang Xiaoqiang, has never compromised with won.
The more he encounters such won, the stronger his desire to conquer them, especially psychologically. At this point, he burst his physical strength, threw away the tightly griping Yuu Chengfeng, and strode outside the hall.
Yuu Chengfeng possessed the cultivation base of a Purple Mansion Immortal Second Ice Realm and had comprehended the "True aning of Frost," making him imnsely powerful and not soone Wang Xiaoqiang could contend with. However, Wang Xiaoqiang was a Body Refining Master, nearly invincible in close combat, so throwing Yuu Chengfeng aside was reasonable.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang effortlessly throw the powerful Yuu Chengfeng aside, Qu Linglong's tear-filled eyes widened with disbelief.
Indeed, submitting to others, especially to n, was most unwilling for her.
But n co in different forms, and if it's yielding to a truly powerful man, one's heart feels sowhat comforted. This is actually a common psychological trait of every woman. Watching Wang Xiaoqiang soundly defeat Yuu Chengfeng, Qu Linglong's resolve wavered, and spotting Wang Xiaoqiang almost exiting the hall, once out, his departure would be swift, making pursuit impossible. Qu Linglong finally called out, "King of Windrise, stay your step."
Wang Xiaoqiang halted without looking back.
"King of Windrise, sorry, I was wrong." Qu Linglong said softly, her voice tinged with humiliation, tears streaming down her face.
"King of Windrise? Haha, I'm not used to this na; could you please not call that…" Wang Xiaoqiang turned around and stared at Qu Linglong, but didn't walk back, indicating he hadn't relented.
"Young Master Wang…" Qu Linglong changed her address, but Wang Xiaoqiang interjected, "Don't call Young Hero; I'm no longer that young, unworthy of being called Young Hero."
Qu Linglong understood that Wang Xiaoqiang wanted her to call him by his na, yet at this mont that's precisely what she least wanted to do.
However, since she had admitted her fault, she must satisfy Wang Xiaoqiang, so she reluctantly complied, saying, "Wang, Wang Xiaoqiang, sorry, I was wrong, hope for your forgiveness."
"Ah, rely an apology is too insubstantial; I'm a practical person and prefer tangible things," Wang Xiaoqiang still hadn't moved back, he said to Qu Linglong, "After all this hassle, I'm hungry too. How about you prepare a al with your own hands, serve it yourself, and attend to while I eat and drink...Doesn't sound like I'm troubling you, right?"
Watching Wang Xiaoqiang finally compromise, Yuu Chengfeng felt relieved and joyfully said, "Not at all, not at all...Linglong, quickly do it, weren't you always fond of cooking?"
Qu Linglong indeed liked cooking, she was particular and had a cleanliness obsession. Despite serving at Wind Rain Pavilion, she had never eaten the food at its restaurant, nor the food at the Yuu family residence when visiting as a guest.
Each visit saw her personally cooking, so Yuu Chengfeng knew she could cook and wasn't bad at it.
However, cooking for Wang Xiaoqiang displeased her; at the Yuu family, she cooked for her friends, the Yuu sisters, or one might say she cooked for herself, but now it's for Wang Xiaoqiang, it's cooking for a man.
Cooking for a man is sothing she never considered, especially since it requires her personally attending to Wang Xiaoqiang while he eats, treating her like a female servant...
For a dignified deputy tower master to be ordered by Wang Xiaoqiang like a servant is too humiliating!
Qu Linglong bit her red lips tightly, the wound from her earlier bite threatened to bleed again.
"Linglong, quickly go," Yuu Chengfeng walked beside Qu Linglong to persuade, "For the mistake you made, this is the lightest punishnt." (To be continued.
