Chapter 1694: Was It Fun?
“This junior was blind and failed to recognize the two of you, seniors. This junior humbly begs for your forgiveness.”
Blood Plum apologized first before betraying the Pingshun King without hesitation. “Please understand that this junior did not intend to offend you two on purpose. It was the Pingshun King and Yu Shuanglu who gave me the command.”
“Xiahou Zun humiliated them, but they didn’t dare to take action against him. So, they choose to vent their frustrations on you instead.”
“Unfortuntaely for them...”
“Unfortunately for them, they made an error in judgment and calculation, correct?” Ye Qing finished her sentence.
“An astute observation, senior.”
Slowly, Blood Plum raised a finger and pointed at the middle-aged man. She said, “Seniors, that man over there is called Tong Nian (Childhood). He is a keeper of the Pingshun King Office. He’s the one who ordered me to do everything.”
“Bullshit!” The middle-aged man heard Tong Nian’s accusation loud and clear as a matter of course. If Blood Plum was only selling the Pingshun King, he would have been fine with it. However, Blood Plum was dragging him into the mess as well. Sure, it was the truth, but Blood Plum was trying to paint herself as the “innocent victim” who had no choice but to obey her cruel superiors’ order while damning everyone else around her. There was no way he was going to let her succeed without a fight!
“Do not listen to her nonsense, seniors! She is a subordinate of the Pingshun King as well! In fact, she is the one who masterminded this incident. I am at best the subordinate bandit who executes her orders.”
“This junior is just a ninth rate bandit at best. How could I possibly have anything to do with the famous Pingshun King?”
Blood Plum said in an aggrieved tone, “Tong Nian’s the one who threatened me saying that the Pingshun King would dispatch his army and his elites to kill me if I do not obey his orders. This junior... this junior had no choice.
Blood Plum was weeping at this point.
