Chapter 1708 - Ye Linghan
When enemies crossed paths, hatred naturally blazed in their eyes. Liu Wuxie hadn't expected to encounter the woman from the lake here, yet she was now glaring at him as though she wanted to kill him on the spot.When the woman passed by earlier, she found Liu Wuxie vaguely familiar but couldn't place him immediately. That was why she deliberately turned around for another look, only to recognize the shameless lecher who had peeped at her while she bathed in the lake.
A Profound Immortal aura instantly burst out from her and crashed down on the escort group from the Peace and Stability Merchant Association.
"Young Lady, please calm your anger!" Chen An cried out, dropping to his knees alongside the other guards.
The celestial realm maintained strict hierarchies. Although profound immortals didn't stand at the absolute peak, they were still unreachable existences for people from the Peace and Stability Merchant Association.
Only Liu Wuxie remained standing without kneeling.
Two maids stepped out from behind the woman and glared at Liu Wuxie, ready to strike at the slightest disagreement. "How dare you refuse to kneel before our Young Lady?!"
"She's neither my parent nor my elder. Why should I kneel?" Liu Wuxie asked calmly.
As for Chen An and the others, Liu Wuxie had no intention of interfering with their choices.
Every word Liu Wuxie spoke rang out clearly. Back at the lake, this woman had tried to kill him for absolutely no reason, and he had only survived because of Ghost Pupil. Without Ghost Pupil, he would've already died beneath her attack.
Chen An hurriedly tugged at Liu Wuxie's sleeve, signaling for him to kneel as well. Offending the City Lord Mansion's young lady would bring nothing but disaster. If this matter escalated, the Peace and Stability Merchant Association would never be able to conduct business with the City Lord Mansion again.
After all, more than half of the Peace and Stability Merchant Association's income came from the City Lord Mansion. Losing such a major customer would cripple the merchant association entirely.
