Watching Hou Jue, who was thrown onto the ground by an indignant Guo Lingyun with a swollen, bruised face and was limp and powerless, Zhou Li and others fell into silence.
"What happened?"
Zhou Li lifted his head, puzzled.
"Nothing."
Shaking her head, Guo Lingyun calmly said:
"Lord Hou learned a high-grade technique called Nianyi Eighteen Falls on the road and wanted to try practicing it. As a result, he subconsciously grabbed his own collar and used the Eighteen Falls on himself."
Uh-huh, so he accidentally shot himself in the back thirteen times, right?
Of course, neither Zhou Li nor Tang Wan exposed Guo Lingyun's lie or, to be more accurate, it wasn't that Guo Lingyun intended to tell a lie; she had simply been looking for a random excuse to beat someone up and offered a way out.
"Indeed, indeed."
