Meanwhile, The Gu family didn't have a similar response to the crowd.
Their faces were frozen in fear while their jaw dropped to the floor.
Sweat began to flow from their forehead like a river, while few swallowed their Adam's apple.
Diverting their eyes from me to their Respectable Young miss, they showed eyes of pleading and begging mercy.
They wanted their young miss to do something about the situation.
" Ahem* Ahem* the 10 breaths of time period has passed, time to face consequences " Saying that, I looked at Gu N'ir with an evil smile while pointing my finger at the girl beside her.
" W-Wait! Our Gu family surrender to the Young master! " she hurriedly spoke trying to calm me down.
But!
Damage has already been done, I value my words to the utmost perfection.
Swoosh!
With a flick of my finger, I released an overwhelming sword intent and attacked that particular member of the Gu family standing beside her, instantly separating her head from the body.
" Wh-What? "
" Damn! He couldn't even respond "
" Holy Cow! What is Gu family doing? She should have surrendered early...not only did the patriarch lose his life...a lowly servant also lost her life, sad she was beautiful "
" Indeed! Miss Gu should kneel and beg for mercy, Young Master is pretty virtuous and has a gentle heart, he will easily overlook the previous matter "
" Correct! If the Gu Family really value their pride and dignity then, the roots of the Gu family will disappear from the East Mountains "
" Hmph! Gu's family doesn't know there are mountains above mountains and the sky above sky, just a small sacrifice for the entire bloodline is totally worth it...what is she doing standing there like stubborn, "
-----
" W-What! Why? ... I said we surrender..." Gu N'ir said while looking at the side.
Her personal maid & also her childhood friend was killed right before her eyes, and she couldn't do anything, obviously, she was extremely angry at me.
[ Ding! Her affection has reached negative 80 ]
" I think you forgot, I clearly remember saying that, I need a satisfactory answer... You are in no position to surrender on behalf of the entire Gu family, the only one who can do, is your father... Next thing, I gave you time, I had made myself clear about the consequences...
Is there anyone, who didn't listen to my words? If so, speak up! "
" Nope! I heard it loud and clear...if Young master receives to get a satisfactory answer, one of them will die every ten breaths"
" Correct! I also heard it "
" Indeed! Gu family is really playing with fire right now, "
" Tch! Wait a stubborn woman, all she had to was surrender herself...but, she thinks she is virtuous and noble "
" Correct! She should have said, I am willing to offer myself for the sake of my family, I will do anything you say, so, please forgive our Sins "
" Wise words were never spoken before, I stand with the upstairs guy "
" What a disgrace! The Gu family fed her, and raised her but she doesn't have the heart to save her Gu family, I guess from now on only 3 major families will stay in East Mountains, "
" What do you mean by 3? The Li family will also start to decline from now on, The Yang Family is already gone, and the only superpower will be the Zhao Family "
" Eesh! The Zhao family really received the blessing from above that they weren't against this mysterious young master, or else the face of East mountains would have completely changed "
" Yang Family haven't declined yet, indeed their patriarch and only heir died...but, I heard the young master that killed the patriarch is supporting the Yang Family "
" W-Wait! It sounds a bit weird but hear me out, what if this Mysterious Young master in front of us is also the Mysterious young master helping the Yang Family "
" Hmm...Now that I think about it, that does make sense, holy shit! It is indeed possible, "
" Damn! The Young Master is cooking everywhere, "

Hearing the response of the Crowd, Gi N'ir looked at the ground while opening up her fist.
Taking a deep breath and relaxing her mind, she came forward despite being angry and sad.
As beads of sweat trickled down her trembling face, and tears rolled down her cheeks, she knelt on the ground, making sure her forehead touched the ground.
With a quivering voice, she speaks while keeping her forehead on the ground, " I have to grasp the gravity of our situation Thus! I submit my life in your hands, however, I beg of you to spare them. "
With a hard feeling in her heart, she mutters those words, after that, she raises her head and looks straight into my eyes.
Her eyes looked dead as she submitted to me, under social pressure.
Nevertheless, I was happy to see her " I have given up! " face.
It was majestic,
" Hoho! That's a wise decision, I was indeed lacking a gardener who would cut down weeds in my backyard. I guess, I didn't have to search anymore...this young master is happy, I will spare everyone, " Saying that, I went towards her and picked her up,
" I believe, Everyone should return to their daily activity now...Roll! " shooting that, I looked at Sect master, it seemed he wanted to kill Lily but he had to wait.
------
" Hoho! That's a very good judgment and well-played game. I haven't even witnessed such a trial in the royal court, " Saying that, the one who arrived in front of me was Prince Qin.
Besides him was Princess Qin Cheng.
Looking at his sinister eyes, I believe something is wrong.
This guy is planning something shady... I can feel it.
Gulp!
Shit! I am getting an uneasy feeling.
