Because these people had been outwitted by Liu Ni and the others last time, they didn't dare to actually step forward and help now. They just made a show of trying to stop the fight from the sidelines, but no one expected Su Xiaowan to be so ferocious. It scared them all so much they didn't dare to approach, their hearts pounding wildly. What if they were the ones being hit? Oh, Mother, just thinking about it made their whole bodies ache.
As for Liu Ni and the others, they were truly shocked. None of them expected Su Xiaowan to strike as soon as she said she would, and to be so violent right from the start. Su Xiaowan had always been gentle and obedient. Even when angry, she only spoke fiercely, but that was all—just fierce words. They never imagined that beneath her delicate exterior lived such an explosively fierce beast.
