Butler Ye's forehead began to sweat. "Miss Junci, I..."
"Kneel down and apologize," Ye Junzi demanded sternly, suddenly coughing. "Didn't I tell you not to speak nonsense in front of Zhenmian?!"
At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from her, pressing down heavily on Butler Ye.
With a loud thud, Butler Ye dropped to his knees, his face pale and body trembling.
The pressure from a high-level evolved being on a low-level one was absolute; Butler Ye couldn't resist.
Unable to lift his head, he stammered, "Miss-Miss Zhenmian, I'm sorry. My words and actions were inappropriate. Please forgive me."
"Apologies," Ye Junzi took a deep breath, "I need to handle some matters and stop this servant from running his mouth."
After a brief pause, she made a request. "Mr. Nian, may I speak with Zhenmian?"
"Of course," In Yaonian responded calmly. "I must be present, and everyone else must leave."
Ye Junci agreed immediately. "No problem."
