Chapter 2196 - Casting Blame
A sudden silence followed Su Yi’s words.
The crowd was startled. None of them had anticipated that Xiao Jian would be so ruthless at a time like this. He was actually trying to get even with Third Elder Ku Zhen!
Tie Wenjing couldn’t help but sweat on his behalf. He transmitted, “Xiao Jian, you’re now a deacon of Wandering Night Palace. Opposing your superior like this is extremely unwise!”
Su Yi disregarded him. He just gazed calmly at Ku Zhen, making no effort to disguise his domineeringness or determination.
Ku Zhen glowered, and his brow furrowed. He wouldn’t have guessed that this young man of the Torch Dragon Race would be so troublesome.
Sect Leader Liang Lingxu laughed. “See that, Third Elder? Deacon Xiao feels aggrieved. Don’t forget your comportment any further. Quick, apologize to him.”
After a moment’s silence, Ku Zhen slowly nodded. “Earlier, my questioning was indeed a bit overly stringent. Don’t take it to heart.”
Only then did Su Yi let up.
He could suppress his usual personality and temper for the sake of infiltrating Qingwu Divine Court, but there were times when he couldn’t back down. If he did, others would think of him as a soft persimmon they could abuse as they pleased.
That would only invite even more trouble.
And Su Yi had never liked trouble.
