Ji Yao stepped on his chest and looked down at him with contempt in his eyes. "Let me say it and let me say it once. The Rui siblings are off-limits and we as the concord do not sacrifice the innocent to further our agenda. Do you understand?" he said with his sword pointing at the man's neck. It was as though if he answered no he would be cut down right then and there.
A terrified but enchanted Ju Lang nodded his head. He knew Ji Yao was off-limits but this man was like an alluring poison that his father repeatedly warned him to stay as far away as possible.
This made it especially hard considering they were the same age. Unlike Ji Yao though he had to take over after his father got an inexplicable illness when he was fourteen.
Ji Yao withdrew his sword and walked back to his seat in slow strides. His eyes also returned to normal as his anger simmered down.
