"What?!"
Wu Jingyi stared at the returning disciples of Gan Yun Martial Hall in disbelief and pressed them:
"Is what they said true?"
The person she questioned wore a bitter expression.
"Senior Sister Wu, it's true... Senior Brother Danyi died on the spot."
"Enough!"
Remembering the things she had said earlier, Wu Jingyi's face burned like fire.
Feeling the mocking gazes of the Pine Wind Martial Hall members, she hurriedly lowered her head, wanting to flee as quickly as possible.
"Senior Sister Wu, where are you going?"
One of the disciples called out.
Wu Jingyi didn't even look back. Clutching her severed arm, she hurried away.
Her retreating figure looked utterly bedraggled.
Jiang Ting, in the distance, felt mortified as well.
She immediately glanced around, hoping to see whether anyone had noticed her embarrassment.
Unfortunately, everyone's attention had been completely drawn to Li Chuan.
In truth, no one had cared about her.
Li Qing hurried over, concerned.
"A-Chuan, are you all right?"
Li Chuan patted him on the shoulder.
"Big Brother, don't worry!"
Li Qing was still somewhat skeptical, thinking Li Chuan was only trying to reassure him.
Li Chuan felt a little helpless too.
It was true that if he hadn't practiced the Jade Skin Technique, a body-tempering art, then even if he'd dodged most of the force behind Li Danyi's palm, there was no way he could have come away so unscathed.
But at Minor Mastery, the Jade Skin Technique, combined with his powerful blood and qi, gave him exceptional defensive strength. That was how he'd gotten away with only a few scrapes.
Still, he couldn't possibly explain all that to Li Qing, so he could only signal with his eyes for him not to worry.
Liang Hangzhou stepped forward and laughed heartily.
"A-Chuan, I really misjudged you.
