Wei Donghai had no time to worry about anything else. After hearing Ning Wangshu, he opened his mouth, but could only steel himself and say, "General Ning, this... this was indeed my Wei family's fault."
"What would it take for you to let this matter go, General Ning?"
Ning Wangshu replied coolly, "If you insult someone, you'll be insulted in return. In the Cultivation World, even a Great Grandmaster cannot be insulted, let alone me."
"Kneel down and slap yourself ten times! Those were the words I said to your nephew and the others after they insulted me. Now I'm saying the same to you!"
Then Ning Wangshu simply watched him in silence.
Wei Donghai was stunned. With his status and standing, kneeling before someone and slapping himself ten times was a humiliation he could never accept.
But when he thought of Ning Wangshu's identity and the terrifying power he possessed—power that could ignore just about anything—he knew he had no choice but to accept, no matter how humiliating it was.
Otherwise, the consequences might be more than he—or even the Wei family—could bear!
Wei Donghai hesitated, furious and resentful, unwilling to accept this. But in the end, all those feelings turned into a helpless, bitter sigh. His voice trembling, he said, "Fine! I... I'll kneel!"
Gritting his teeth, Wei Donghai slowly lowered himself to his knees. Then he began slapping himself, one blow after another...
The people around them fell silent at the sight.
Some sighed; others were moved, and a few even took pleasure in it.
After all, the other families had all been dragged into trouble by the Wei family this time. Seeing Wei Donghai kneel before Ning Wangshu in public and humiliate himself with those slaps gave them some satisfaction.
