This remark has raised the stakes a bit.
Gan Ning couldn't hold back anymore, not caring if it ruined the mood, and shouted, "Holy Maidens, both of you are unparalleled figures, so it's not my place to speak. However, beneath the bright sky, one must speak with a clear conscience. My brother Jiang Chen has never provoked or plotted against anyone. Those whose trial beads were taken, weren't they the ones who initiated the trouble with us? Didn't they suffer losses when their plans backfired? Why is it that in the end, we're accused of being the aggressors? Should we just hand over our trial beads politely when bullied?"
Gan Ning's tone was highly agitated, clearly showing his anger.
If he weren't facing two holy maidens, he might have started swearing directly.
