As the maid spoke, she sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room and stammered in terror, "Old Master, I didn't mean to... I'm sorry, I'll leave right now..."
Shangguan Tie sighed and waved his hand. "It's all right. You may go."
Qin Li had originally intended to teach Shangguan Buhui and his son a lesson, but seeing Shangguan Shiyu's current mental state, he knew this was not the right time. He then glanced at Old Master Shangguan Tie, who looked as if he had aged decades in an instant, and sighed to himself. 'Forget it. So be it. I've always lived by a code of swift justice, repaying both kindness and enmity, but for the woman I love, I'll make an exception this once. I'll spare them. When Shiyu's emotions have stabilized in a few days, I'll come back to ask Shangguan Tie where her parents' Sect was, who their enemies were, and how they died. After I understand all that, I can finally say goodbye to the Shangguan Family for good!'
