The crowd held their breaths.
However, at this moment, which ought to be the most tense for Wang Liyao, her expression seemed the most relaxed of all.
In fact, she was not only not nervous, she even looked somewhat dismissive.
Originally, she intended to save some face for him due to her own presumed guilt. But since he refused to behave sensibly, he could blame no one but himself.
In the blink of an eye, her hand finally reached the hilt of the sword at her waist.
"Clang~!"
A long sword chime sounded, and the "Autumn Water Sword" suddenly left its sheath!
Yes, the sword she bore now was indeed her mother, Liu Ruolan's, "Autumn Water Sword", a top grade Spiritual Sword.
Before coming to the Academic Palace, her mother Liu Ruolan had loaned her the "Autumn Water Sword". She told her that she could use the sword until she found one more suited to herself, at which point she can give back the Autumn Water Sword.
