Wei Ling couldn't comprehend why Gu Dai chose to hide her capabilities, but she nodded continuously in response, saying, "Okay."
When Gu Dai expressed her decision not to blacklist Wei Ling, she didn't lower her voice, so Su Ting, Zhou Ci, and Song Ling all overheard.
Given Gu Dai's stance, they had no choice but to revoke their earlier decision.
Although Gu Dai had pardoned Wei Ling, she hadn't forgotten the sycophantic words these people spouted earlier to please Wei Ling.
The surrounding crowd trembled slightly, sensing impending doom. Recalling how Wei Ling was forgiven after her apology, they hastened to speak up.
"Miss Gu, we were wrong. We shouldn't have speculated without knowing the full story."
"Miss Gu, we apologize to you. Please spare us this once."
"Miss Gu Dai, you can ask us to do anything, as long as you can forgive us!"
...
Gu Dai took note of the hidden desperation in their eyes.
