Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan's words, her father's gaze turned hostile, as if she were his adversary. Peaceful resolution seemed impossible.
This woman was solely to blame!
Her attempt to salvage her reputation had backfired catastrophically. Who could have predicted she would commit such a foolish act?
Even if her intentions were noble, she'd forever hang her head in shame before her father. Her standing within the Flower Sect would undoubtedly suffer. Hua Wu seethed with animosity towards Gu Chaoyan.
Meanwhile, the Flower Sect Leader's smile widened even further upon hearing Gu Chaoyan's explanation.
It appeared that Gu Chaoyan hadn't initially intended to pluck the flower but was persuaded by the First Elder's daughter.
The Flower Sect Leader couldn't suppress a sense of amusement at this self-inflicted predicament.
