Settling Down

The best way to respond to a question was to fire one right back. It worked better than explaining, every time.

That was also one reason why villains who cried foul first so often got their way.

That was the approach Zhang Xuezhou used on Lu Baibai.

Lu Baibai had directed his question at Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou had thrown punches at the air.

After Zhang Xuezhou had gnashed his teeth over their irreconcilable hatred, Lu Baibai felt much the same way and began cursing too.

"How was I supposed to know I'd ruined his feng shui? I knocked down the tree and the lion, but I only did it because someone was chasing and attacking me. Besides, I wasn't the one who picked this place. If anyone's to blame, it's Feiyu and that Dou Ying fellow!"

But that kind of talk
