Chapter 399 - 393: Bursting with Rage
Upon hearing Hai Luoshuang’s voice behind him, Ye Zhen knew that today, Yan Shaqi would likely escape calamity.
It wasn’t that Ye Zhen was worried Hai Luoshuang would cover for Yan Shaqi, the son of Deputy Tower Master Yan Kun. On the contrary, Hai Luoshuang would definitely stand by Ye Zhen’s side.
However, if this matter were to be judged solely on its merits, at most Yan Shaqi would receive a light punishment. After all, Yan Shaqi hadn’t committed any heinous deeds that enraged both gods and men.
Moreover, even if the matter were to be pursued, Yan Shaqi could easily shirk responsibility, pushing all the blame onto his wicked servants and washing his hands clean of it.
"Tower Master Hai, your timing is impeccable. This Ye Zhen dares to insult me, a Deputy Tower Master. He was specially invited by you, so tell me, how should he be handled?"
Seeing Yan Kun turning the tables by playing the victim first, Ye Zhen became furious, about to speak out, but Hai Luoshuang gestured for him not to say anything.
"Deputy Tower Master Yan, Ye Zhen has insulted you, and you still don’t know what should be done?"
At these words, Yan Kun was a bit stunned; he was confused about what exactly Hai Luoshuang meant. Was she allowing him to handle the matter as he saw fit, or was she purposely putting him in a tight spot with her words?
The very next moment, Hai Luoshuang continued.
"According to the rules of our Stars Tower, if anyone feels insulted by another, they can wash away the disgrace with a martial challenge. If you’re willing, why don’t you challenge Ye Zhen?"
