Alarm colored Liang Long's face when he heard what Wang Baole had said. His mind became fully awake. He stopped breathing momentarily when he realized his mistake. He wanted to correct himself, but he had been completely played by Wang Baole. There was no way he could salvage the situation at this moment. As he panicked, Mie Liezi, who had been silent all the while, shook his head.
"Liang Long, do you know where you went wrong?"
"Your humble disciple…" Liang Long froze. Wang Baole's pupils contracted, and he took a few steps towards Feng Qiuran. The expression on Feng Qiuran remained unchanged, save her eyes, which narrowed slightly as she looked at Mie Liezi.
"Your mistake was in insisting on reason. You needed to be right." A tinge of disappointment flashed across Mie Liezi's eyes. He turned and suddenly raised his right hand, making an unexpected grab for Wang Baole.
