Boom!
An invisible surge of blood-qi force erupted from Nian Ci.
The force even swept her hair upward.
Clearly, being questioned in public about something so private had enraged Nian Ci.
The other Clan Elders looked embarrassed too.
Knowing about it was one thing, but asking about it in public showed far too little regard for her dignity.
