"Well, well! Jiao Linghe, I didn't expect you to bring back a helper. Is this a rebellion?!" Steward Xiao stood up furiously, clutching his swollen face, his mouth full of blood.
Yi Tianyun had gone easy on him. If he had been truly enraged, that one slap would have likely made the steward's head explode.
"How dare a worthless lackey like you act so arrogantly before me!" Yi Tianyun said coldly. "You have two choices. Either take us to find Second Elder, or I'll slap you again. Make your choice!"
Steward Xiao erupted in fury. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept either choice. After being slapped so viciously, why would he possibly agree to lead Yi Tianyun anywhere?
"You want me to take you to see Second Elder? Impossible! Not unless you apologize..."
SLAP!
