The two, still hanging from the lasso, froze, waiting for their punishment. When they realized Lu Sheng wasn't about to hit them right away, they let out a small sigh of relief.
Lu Sheng raised his cane again, making it clear he wouldn't wait forever.
"Wait! Wait, My Lord! We'll talk! We'll tell you everything!"
Lu Sheng stood there, letting them dangle as he stared them down. When they noticed he was losing patience, they quickly began to explain.
"It was a long time ago, My Lord," Bull Head began, taking the initiative, " A soul escaped under our care."
Gulping and finding it difficult to talk while hanging from the neck, he resumed. "We were able to catch that soul later easily but after some time later he escaped again, but this time he escaped not alone but with three more."
Lu Sheng listened closely, but as their story went on, the emotions on his face faded away.
