The middle-aged man's voice grew colder with each word. With a SMACK, his hands fiercely struck the backrest of the chair, and Shangguan You felt the entire floor tremble several times. A dangerous aura rushed toward her.
This man is very dangerous, Shangguan You became even more certain of this. She unconsciously stepped back a few paces, her clear and innocent eyes fixed silently on the middle-aged man.
"Master, she must not be killed right now."
"HMPH! No one can stop me from killing who I want to kill!" the middle-aged man roared. His furious bellow made Shangguan You's ears ring. Why does this old man want to kill me? I don't remember ever offending him, do I?
Shangguan You voiced her question, her voice frail, weak, and even trembling slightly as it echoed through the great hall. "Um, I'd like to ask, how exactly did I offend all of you? Why did you capture me?"
Her question made the middle-aged man glare at her, his eyes wide with fury.
