The entire venue fell silent, filled with shock, horror, and disbelief.
Jiang Xueqi trembled in fear.
With a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
She stared at Brother Zixuan, whom she had always admired and loved the most.
Her face was written with utter disbelief.
"Why... why did this happen..."
"Brother Zixuan had clearly broken through during the battle..."
Jiang Xueqi muttered to herself, watching in disbelief as Brother Zixuan was once again slapped to the ground by Qin Luo.
She broke down and stopped thinking, completely helpless.
She couldn't understand why Brother Zixuan, who had always protected her since childhood, had failed this time.
"Heh, almost forgot about you, you worthless servant."
Qin Luo heard Jiang Xueqi's voice and turned his head with a cold smile.
Then he cracked his knuckles and walked toward her.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Zixuan gradually came to his senses, his eyes bulging with rage as he stared at Qin Luo.
He roared, "Stop!! I won't let you hurt her!!"
Why, why??
He had clearly broken through, so why wasn't he a match for this follower?
Could this follower also be at the Mastery Realm?
No... that's not it...
It wasn't that he couldn't match him.
It was because he couldn't even react to the speed of his opponent's strikes before being slapped to the ground.
Su Muwan swallowed hard as she looked at Qin Luo.
Her eyes sparkled.
Qin Luo...
You've really surprised your young lady!
Jiang Xueqi came to her senses and saw Qin Luo approaching.
She trembled and cried out in panic, "No! Please don't!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"I'll sell the beauty formula to your young lady! Please don't slap me anymore!"
"I! I! Waaaaaah!! I was wrong!!"
"I can't even cultivate in the first place! Yet you bully me like this!"
"Su Muwan! We at least grew up together when we were young!"
"How could you be so heartless to let someone hit me!"
"Waaaaaah!!"
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi burst into loud tears again.
Su Muwan found this quite fascinating.
Strange, she never knew Jiang Xueqi could show such expressions?
In her previous life, whenever Jiang Xueqi saw her, she was always arrogant and looked down on her.
Always saying she was a great villain who endangered the world and such.
But now...
How did she suddenly claim connection with her?
Hmph, enough is enough, the lesson has been taught, and this young lady's mood has been satisfied.
It's time to withdraw for now.
Thinking this, Su Muwan looked at Qin Luo, just about to tell him to stop when.......
Slap!
Qin Luo flashed forward and slapped the crying Jiang Xueqi across the face again.
"Shut up!!"
And with that.
The child stopped crying.
Jiang Xueqi held her cheek, biting her lip, looking at Qin Luo with tears in her eyes.
Su Muwan's mouth twitched: .......uh.
And this finally made Jiang Zixuan completely break down.
He could only curl up on the ground due to the poison in his body.
Seeing his dear sister Xueqi being hit, he, the mighty Tiger Commander, could no longer hold back his tears.
His eyes were red as he cried out, "Stop! Please stop!!"
Why!! Why!!
He screamed in his heart!
Hadn't he trained hard just to protect his family?
Yet he still let his dear sister Xueqi get slapped right in front of him.
Jiang Zixuan struggled and screamed, but his body still couldn't move at all.
He lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Damn it, damn it!!!
Jiang Zixuan, you useless waste!
You really can't... can't do anything at all!!!!
Su Muwan painfully looked at Jiang Zixuan who had collapsed on the ground, wailing in breakdown.
She swallowed hard.
Then nervously looked over at Qin Luo's direction.
Her scalp immediately began to tingle.
Hey hey hey!!
This isn't good!
Under normal circumstances, a chosen one would burst forth with considerable power under such extreme suppression!
Even though Qin Luo was also a chosen one, in this current situation, she truly felt a bit of an ominous premonition.
It felt like!
The previously stable situation might go wrong!
So Su Muwan opened her mouth and said to Qin Luo: "Um... that... Qin Luo..."
But before she could finish.
Qin Luo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the grieving Jiang Xueqi.
He said coldly: "Miss Jiang, you not only need to give the beauty formula to my young lady."
"But also......"
Speaking, he turned around and looked gently at Su Muwan, saying: "You need to apologize to my young lady for your wrongdoing."
Su Muwan's expression froze, wait... Qin Luo, don't!
Hearing these words, Jiang Xueqi first froze, then looked at Qin Luo's hand and trembled all over.
Then she shakily looked at Su Muwan, raised her head with red-rimmed eyes: "I'm... I'm sorry..."
Not only stealing my formula but humiliating me like this.
Su Muwan, I'll remember this!
And with these words.
Jiang Zixuan let out an even more agitated cry: "Ahhhhh!!!! No!!!"
His dear sister Xueqi suffering such humiliation, yet he could do nothing!
Su Muwan looked at Jiang Zixuan, whose state was gradually becoming uncontrolled.
Then she looked at Jiang Xueqi and said with difficulty: "Fine, this young lady forgives you."
Speaking, she looked at Qin Luo: "Qin Luo, we should..."
Before she could finish.
Qin Luo gave Su Muwan a reassuring look, then continued coldly: "You've apologized, but it's still not enough."
Jiang Xueqi was stunned, then raised her head in disbelief and asked: "Still not enough?"
Su Muwan was shocked: Still not enough?!
You're even more villainous than me??
"That's right."
Qin Luo nodded, then coldly looked at Jiang Zixuan who had collapsed on the ground in breakdown, saying: "This waste dared to insult my young lady, though I've already taught him a lesson."
"But it's not enough, so..."
Qin Luo arrogantly raised his chin, slowly saying to the pale-faced Jiang Xueqi: "Go on, Miss Jiang, give him a slap too to teach him a lesson."
With these words.
Boom!!!
A thunderbolt struck through everyone's minds.
Jiang Xueqi's eyes widened, large tears falling from her eyes: "What... you want me to hit... Brother Zixuan? This is too much..."
Jiang Zixuan was also stunned, looking at Qin Luo... and Su Muwan in front of him in disbelief.
Poisonous woman!! Such a cruel heart!!
Actually making his dear sister Xueqi turn against him?!
Su Muwan was stunned.
No! Even in my previous life, I never thought of playing it like this! You really dare to think of such things!
Jiang Xueqi's face showed hesitation and struggle.
Seeing this, Jiang Zixuan sighed in his heart.
Dear sister Xueqi was born kind-hearted, she surely wouldn't bear to hit me.
But if she doesn't do it, she'll surely be hit again.
So...
Jiang Zixuan opened his mouth, preparing to tell Jiang Xueqi to go ahead.
But seeing Jiang Xueqi's hesitant appearance, Qin Luo glared at her: "What? Unwilling?"
Before he finished speaking.
Just as Jiang Zixuan was about to open his mouth to let Jiang Xueqi hit him: "Xue..."
"Wait! I! I'm willing!"
Seeing Qin Luo about to hit her again, Jiang Xueqi immediately spoke up in fear.
And with Jiang Xueqi's words.
Jiang Zixuan, who was about to actively tell Jiang Xueqi to do it, froze in expression.
He looked at Jiang Xueqi who had spoken up voluntarily in disbelief.
His heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, so painful.
Xueqi, you......
And for some reason.
After Jiang Xueqi said these words.
The bad premonition that had filled Su Muwan before...
Now strangely disappeared.
Su Muwan blinked: Hm?
Then.
Qin Luo gestured with his mouth: "Then go ahead, remember to make it sound crisp and clear."
"Oh... um..."
Jiang Xueqi nodded, then bit her lip and tremblingly walked toward Jiang Zixuan, who lay on the ground with a bitter expression.
She raised her palm, looking at Jiang Zixuan with full of apology: "Brother Zixuan... don't blame Xueqi, Xueqi has no choice..."
Jiang Zixuan's heart was now filled with desolation.
He could accept actively telling Jiang Xueqi to hit him, but... couldn't accept her volunteering to do so.
He looked at the approaching Jiang Xueqi with a bitter expression.
In his mind... memories of the past suddenly surfaced.
[Brother Zixuan, Brother Zixuan, why are you so good to Xueqi?]
["Haha! Because we're the closest brother and sister!"]
["Brother Zixuan, Xueqi doesn't want to be your sister. When Xueqi grows up, she wants to marry you!"]
["Hahaha! Let's not talk about that! Come on, big brother will take you to buy some candied haw."]
["Okay!"]
Those days from the past... they seemed to still linger before his eyes.
The image of that pure, innocent Jiang Xueqi gradually overlapped with the terrified face of the Jiang Xueqi standing before him now.
He saw her raise her hand.
Slap!!
A piercing pain filled Jiang Zixuan's cheek and heart.
He... was disappointed.
Thud!
Jiang Zixuan, overwhelmed with disappointment, completely passed out.
