"You wretched son! Enough of your nonsense! Apologize to this young man at once!"
Cao Jingwen glared at Cao Meng, furious at his incompetence, and barked sternly.
Just a moment ago, when he had looked at Cao Jingbin, Cao Jingbin had given him a slight shake of his head.
The two had grown up together, so Cao Jingwen naturally understood his younger brother's meaning: he was telling him not to fight Chu Qingyun.
Having been slapped and then scolded, Cao Meng, though still confused about the situation, lowered his head and obediently apologized to Chu Qingyun.
He was feeling utterly miserable.
Back in Flame City, he had been viciously ridiculed and mocked by the others in line because of Chu Qingyun.
Outside the city, on the edge of the Mist Forest, his two subordinates had been killed by Chu Qingyun, who then forced him to write an IOU for five thousand Top-Grade Primordial Stones.
