"My word naturally counts!"
Though the middle-aged woman was unwilling to accept it, she could hardly go back on her word in front of so many martial artists. She glanced at Pei Shen and said coldly, "From now on, I won't interfere in matters between you two!"
As her words fell, delighted surprise appeared on both Pei Shen's and Ling'er's faces.
"Brother!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Jiang Xiaobai stood beside them, utterly speechless.
Hold on.
Back at the Court of Judicial Review, Pei Shen hadn't even blinked when he killed someone.
And now?
This girl called him brother once, and his soul practically flew out of his body.
Wasn't that... a bit too much of a contrast?
Resigned, Jiang Xiaobai cleared his throat and looked at Chang Ying. "Steward Chang, this counts as me breaking the Mystic Scale Armor, right?"
"According to what your Heavenly Mechanism Workshop said earlier, can I pick my rewards now?"
Indeed, he had yet to collect his rewards.
He could choose one item each from the Martial Arts Vault and the Weapon Vault.
Chang Ying nodded slightly at Jiang Xiaobai's words.
The Mystic Scale Armor had shattered when Jiang Xiaobai brought those two fingers down.
Even now, she still could not understand how he had done it.
But the result was right before her, so she no longer dared underestimate him in the slightest.
"Of course."
Chang Ying nodded. "Please follow me, Heir Jiang."
With that, Chang Ying turned and headed toward the back.
"Go ahead, Heir Jiang."
Pei Shen glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I'll stay here and talk with Ling'er for a while. I'll wait for you to come out."
"All right!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
With that, he followed Chang Ying toward the back.
Tang Ningshuang and Zhang Xinnian naturally followed as well.
