"… Fine. I'll tell you," Long Yaqing said at last, not to my surprise. "I don't know how you managed to record that conversation we had and store it, but…"
"Just talk," I sighed. "Tell me what I want to know, and I won't speak a word of this to anyone. The sect won't even find out you told me anything… don't worry, my acting skills are good."
"I can tell," he muttered in annoyance, gritting his teeth. "To think I was fooled, thinking you were just a naive new disciple…"
"I don't have much time here. Hurry up and tell me."
"Okay, okay…" he took a deep breath, making up his mind. "The Acceptance in the past years… at least, the one I had to do, was… TAKE THIS!"
Suddenly, he looked up and threw a punch, heading straight towards my face. I, however, had been anticipating this move all along.
After all, even a cornered rat would bite the cat.
I understood that theory quite well, as I used to be a rat as well… hence why this surprise attack would never work on me.
