Seeing this situation, Jiang Lu also panicked somewhat.
The wrath on Dong Wanggong's face was definitely not feigned; he truly wanted to hit someone.
But now with Jiang Lu's frail body, let alone being brutally beaten by Dong Wanggong, even a light touch would have Dong Wanggong immediately kneeling and begging him not to die, completely unable to withstand the abuse.
In a moment of desperation, Jiang Lu had a stroke of genius.
Since his relationship with Dong Wanggong wasn't deep and judging from his reaction, it seemed he never knew about his past romance with the Queen Mother of the West, merely speculating based on his own conjectures without any knowledge of the specifics, didn't that mean he could exploit this lack of information and take control of the situation?
Thinking this, he cried out in indignant grief, "What do you take me for? Did I say I was showing off?"
"Weren't you deliberately flaunting yourself to provoke Moral Heavenly Venerable?"
