He was frantic with anger, and he struggled to his feet. “What... What’s gotten into you?”
“Shut your mouth!” Fu Yuncheng roared in fury and glared at him, his gaze vicious and terrifying.
Ran Bao shuddered, then fell as silent as a cicada in winter. Even if he were far more foolish, he’d have realized that something was amiss.
“A misunderstanding?” Su Yi laughed. “If it’s a misunderstanding, shouldn’t you explain and clear things up?”
Fu Yuncheng’s face stiffened. He glanced at Liang Lingxu and said, “Sect Leader, since you caused this misunderstanding, I’ll have you explain.”
Liang Lingxu fell briefly silent, then nodded with great difficulty. He took a deep breath, then clasped his fist in apology. “All of that happened just now because I was overly reckless. I slandered you despite there being no evidence whatsoever. I really shouldn’t have. I....”
Su Yi cut him off here. “I don’t need an apology. I just want to know what happened.”
The group exchanged glances.
Liang Lingxu sighed, “Please, don’t ask any more questions, Vice Palace Master Xiao. All of this was my mistake. I’ll naturally give you satisfactory compensation later!”
