Elder Zhong's gaze pierced like freezing ice, as though it could freeze a person solid in an instant, but Ying Ming Hao paid it no mind.
He even reached out and lightly tapped the sole of his shoe with a finger. His blatant provocation was enough to kindle fury in anyone who saw it.
The spectators who had been watching the commotion all fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
After all, everyone knew Ying Ming Hao was clearly a man who cared nothing for his own life. Was he not the least bit afraid that Elder Zhong would find an opportunity to retaliate in secret?
Zhao Yuan, Luo Bai, and the others looked positively ghastly, their faces alternating between green and red.
At this point, whether Zhong Shuyao would resent Ying Ming Hao remained to be seen, but she would certainly bear a grudge against them. They had truly lifted a rock only to smash their own feet!
As for Liang Yi, who remained curled up on the ground, trembling, he felt cold all over, as though countless eyes were staring at his back.
Even his physical pain seemed to ease considerably, because he knew perfectly well that if this matter was not settled properly today, he might offend three different powers at once. The consequences would be unthinkable...
"Fine! Since Junior Brother Ying insists so strongly, I'll personally verify it for you!"
Zhong Shuyao's icy voice rang out, carrying a trace of anger and resolve that she could not conceal.
Although her father was an Elder with real authority in the Enforcement Hall, he still fell far short of Deputy Hall Master Liu. She did not want to put her father in a difficult position, so she could only suffer the consequences of her own actions.
