"Please forgive me, Sea Breaking Great Sage. I was rash and disrespectful just now—I mistook you for someone else!" Yan Yijun bent so low at the waist that no one could see his expression as he apologized.
But everyone could hear that Yan Yijun had forced those words out through clenched teeth.
Mistook him for someone else? That would be a real ghost story.
Ye Zhen's expression shifted slightly, and he felt some regret.
Yan Yijun was so capable of enduring that it made Ye Zhen want to kill him even more. The more patient an enemy was, the more dangerous he was.
That meant that when Yan Yijun plotted against Ye Zhen in secret in the future, he would be even more cautious and vicious.
Still, it was good that his identity had been completely exposed. At the very least, before they made a move—especially before they targeted Ye Zhen's friends and family—they would have to weigh the consequences carefully.
"Oh, so you mistook me for someone else? I thought you'd really been castrated and lost your balls." As he spoke, Ye Zhen waved his hand and shooed Yan Yijun away as though chasing off a fly.
By the time Yan Yijun turned around, blood was already seeping from the corner of his mouth. He had bitten through his lip in order to endure it.
Yet even after Ye Zhen had slapped them in the face so thoroughly, Huang Mian and Yan Wulou of Myriad Stars Tower still cupped their hands toward Sea Breaking Great Sage and thanked him again.
"Hmph. If you want to thank someone, thank my fourth brother. If he hadn't been so magnanimous, I'm afraid you would have been the ones unable to leave Shuilian Island alive this time." Sea Breaking Great Sage waved dismissively.
