"Show mercy?"
"Does just anyone get to demand mercy from the Sea-Viewing Tower?"
Gong Lou suddenly descended from upstairs,
cutting off Wei Qing's retreat with a single declaration!
At the sight of the Dao-Unification Realm tower master, Wei Qing's expression instantly grew even uglier!
"Tower Master Gong!"
"I have certainly caused offense, but those two women seduced me first!"
"I'll get out of the Sea-Viewing Tower right away!"
Damn it, Wei Qing thought, blaming himself for letting lust go to his head and acting so rashly!
If Gong Sanquan had been the one intervening, he could still have maneuvered around him,
figuring that a mere deputy tower master would not dare do anything even if genuinely enraged.
But now that Gong Lou himself had appeared, the matter would likely be difficult to resolve.
Gong Lou sneered.
"They seduced you?"
"Sect Master Wei Qing, you really do let anything fly out of your mouth."
With that, Gong Lou completely ignored Wei Qing, who had already bowed low, and looked at Gong Sanquan instead.
Gong Sanquan guiltily met Gong Lou's gaze, his heart filled with dread.
He had already breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wei Qing back down.
In truth, just as Wei Qing had said, he could not represent the Sea-Viewing Tower in this matter. He had defended Nuwa and Qingxuan simply because he could not stand Wei Qing.
If he had borrowed the Sea-Viewing Tower's name to throw his weight around and bully someone for his own selfish ends,
then his offense would hardly be less serious than Wei Qing's.
If Gong Lou reported what had happened to the main tower, his clan might even learn of it.
He would likely have to return to the clan for punishment. Being given the position of deputy tower master
