Lu Sangjiu turned in surprise, only to see Bai Heng stalking toward her with murder in his eyes.
Qin Yu, who was behind him, hurried to get in his way. "Master, don't be rash! This really isn't Junior Sister Lu's fault!"
But the enraged Bai Heng wouldn't listen. With a single slap, he sent Qin Yu flying.
"Silence! Your junior sister is grievously injured, and yet you defend an outsider? You traitorous whelp!"
Qin Yu was knocked backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
His cheek swelled instantly and the corner of his mouth split open. He was a pathetic sight.
The injury itself may not have been severe, but for someone as proud as Qin Yu, being treated this way by his own master in front of so many people was unimaginably humiliating.
The atmosphere instantly froze. The crowd fell deathly silent.
Master Qian He's good mood from moments ago vanished completely.
He had never liked Bai Heng. The man was hot-tempered, arrogant, conceited, and acted with reckless abandon.
