He Is Cursing Me, and You're Actually Still Defending Him!

Faced with Feitan's questioning, Byakuya Kuchiki didn't speak. He only looked toward the passage that had suddenly opened at the side and said, "The passage over here has opened. I suppose it's the downward path. Xiao Ai, let's go check it out first."

He pulled Xiao Ai, who was peeking out from behind Feitan, and walked toward the passage first. He would let Luo Ye handle the rest; as a married man, he wouldn't get mixed up in this.

He was getting on in years and couldn't toss and turn anymore, so he wouldn't insert himself between the two youngsters.

Feitan stood there in a daze, watching him leave with Xiao Ai. No, did he just finish speaking ill of him and walk straight away without explaining a single sentence? Or did he think it wasn't necessary to explain to him?

Did he really take him for a pushover? Feitan wanted to step forward and have a physical debate with him, but Luo Ye stopped him.

Seeing this, Feitan was furious. "Yezi, he's cursing me!" What, now he even had to endure being cursed?

Luo Ye explained patiently, "He wasn't cursing you, he was just saying your temper is stubborn."

And he wasn't wrong either; Feitan's temper was naturally very stubborn.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept pestering him relentlessly after being rejected so many times for all these years.

Luo Ye felt he was just stating the facts, but Feitan, after hearing the explanation, grew even angrier. "He's cursing me, and you're actually still speaking up for him!"

He hadn't entered through formal channels, and the space downward in the Trap Tower was not easy to break through, especially when he still had misgivings. It was only by conscripting Shalnark into hard labor that he had calculated this landing point.
