"Young Lord Gu Changge, forgive me…"
Ye Liuli felt extreme humiliation as she uttered these words. Her voice trembled, showing just how much courage and determination she put into uttering those words from her mouth. She felt exhaustion overtake her as soon as she finished her words.
As the little princess of the Ancient Immortal Ye Family, she was hailed as a bright moon shining among the stars from the moment of her birth. Never had she suffered endless humiliation like today!
Alas! She couldn't deal with the man before her, and even the background behind her couldn't suppress him!
"You don't need to apologize for anything! This Lord isn't an unreasonable man — there's no way I will make matters difficult for you over such a trivial matter."
Gu Changge responded with a wave of his hand, and commanded Old Ming to stop with a playful smirk on his face.
Although he uttered words of righteousness with a straight face, Ye Liuli knew that everyone other than her would have been swatted to death if she hadn't apologized to him!
This man was extremely dangerous!
Be it his means or his incalculable thoughts, everything about him gave her a feeling of fright. She regretted pitting herself against him. Why was she so reckless? Why didn't she investigate the matter before coming to his door to seek justice?
She picked a rock, only to smash it on her own foot!
"See, My Lady, I told you it was a misunderstanding and Young Lord Gu won't embarrass you if you acknowledge your mistake."
Aunt Xue also heaved a sigh of relief once the matter ended. Ye Liuli, on the other hand, glared daggers at her.
Retainer was a good word, but in reality, Aunt Xue was nothing more than a servant! Yet today, this servant had overreached and made decisions in her stead without any authorization from her master!
Ye Liuli swore to report her actions to her father as soon as she returned to the Upper Realm!
Aunt Xue couldn't help but show a wry smile at her Lady's furious glare. She wasn't worried though. If the Patriarch heard about what happened today, he would certainly understand her and even agree with her actions.
After all, this Young Lord Gu was someone who was worthy to be a friend of their Ancient Immortal Ye Family. A mere apology was nothing. It's just that her Young Lady was still naive, and wasn't willing to accept defeat…
Everything Aunt Xue did was for the Family and her Lady!
As Old Ming withdrew, the terrifying aura pressing down on everyone in the surroundings also disappeared.
"Thank you! Thank you for your mercy, Young Lord!"
"Thank you for your mercy, Young Lord!"
The creatures of the Ancient Sacred Mountains kept kneeling, and proclaimed their gratitude for Gu Changge's mercy.
"You don't need to thank me — it was Lady Ye Liuli who saved your lives, so you should thank her."
Gu Changge responded.
Between him and Ye Liuli, the one the creatures of the Ancient Sacred Mountains resented more was definitely Ye Liuli right now…Gu Changge knew this well, so he naturally wouldn't give up on this chance to provoke discord between them.
After all, he wouldn't lose anything from a few words.
"Dare I ask Young Lord Gu's name?"
By now, Ye Liuli had also recovered from her feelings of humiliation, and stared at Gu Changge's face with a disgusting look in her eyes.
Wicked men truly had thick skins, she thought!
"Gu Changge."
By now, Gu Changge's expression of indifference had long disappeared. With a faint smile adoring his face, he handed the teacup in his hands to Su Qingge, who was standing beside him.
His calm and gentle expression gave people a sense of elegance and nobility.
Of course, that would have been the case with everyone, had they not seen his true face just now…
Ye Liuli never thought Gu Changge would be so quick to change his face, and this was exactly what increased the unease in her heart. After all, the most fearful people were those who showed no emotion whether they were enraged or joyful.
You could never tell what went through the minds of such people — they were truly unpredictable!
"Young Lord Gu, the reason I came here today was to enquire about a certain matter; no, to be precise, I came here to seek justice!"
Ye Liuli took in a deep breath to calm herself. No matter what, she had to seek justice from this villainous Gu Changge today!
"Oh?" Gu Changge raised his eyebrows, and said with a mysterious smile, "What justice do you want to seek? This Gu doesn't remember offending Lady Ye…"
"It's not about me, it's about my Brother Ye Chen!"
Ye Liuli directly got to the point. She couldn't stand Gu Changge's contemptuous and pretentious attitude of not knowing anything.
Gu Changge, on the other hand, loved the feeling of bringing others to their knees. Seeing others give in to him even though they hated him, and couldn't wait to bite his neck off, gave him a feeling of exhilaration.
Even if Ye Liuli was the little princess of the Ancient Immortal Ye Family, Gu Changge wouldn't give her any face. Of course, he wanted to have her kneel and beg, but he knew that would have the opposite affect. What's more? That beautiful middle-aged guardian behind her wouldn't let that happen.
Pushing Ye Liuli, the princess of the Ancient Immortal Ye Family, to her knees would be tantamount to slapping the Ancient Immortal Ye Family in the face.
Gu Changge wasn't dumb enough to shoot himself in the foot. If he did that, he would only worsen his situation when it came time for him to return to the Upper Realm.
