Chapter 192 - That’s Quieter Now
Even though Su Zimo looked calm and composed without much emotion, Demoness Ji noticed something unusual nevertheless.
A weird glint flickered in her eyes but she said nothing.
Su Zimo tapped his fingers on the table and attracted everyone’s attention. He then said slowly, “Tell me, why are you looking for my elder brother?”
There was no greeting nor pleasantry as Su Zimo went straight to the point of questioning. A flash of panic appeared in Shen Mengqi’s eyes as she was suddenly at a loss of what to do.
Su Zimo’s gaze turned to Shen Nan who was cowering at the side. Raising his brows slightly, he asked, “You’re here for revenge?”
That gaze of Su Zimo sent Shen Nan shivering as he shook his head like a rattle drum.
“Was it your idea…”
With a slight pause, Su Zimo shifted his gaze to Shen Mengqi and asked coldly, “Or yours, hmm?”
Xu You’s face darkened. “He injured so many of our fellow juniors. Is this a misunderstanding?”
If it was in the past, Xu You would not object to anything Shen Mengqi said.
But now, he was completely charmed by Demoness Ji. He only knew that killing the green robed cultivator before him was the only way he could obtain Demoness Ji’s body and heart!
Shen Mengqi pursed her lips. “I’ll get him to apologize to you and our fellow juniors now. Please let him off this once, senior brother.”
With that, Shen Mengqi turned to Su Zimo and said in a low voice, “What are you waiting for? Come over and apologize!”
Su Zimo suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with mockery.
“You were the ones who came to provoke and cause me trouble. Why should I apologize?”
Shen Mengqi frowned and glared at Su Zimo, hollering softly, “Su Zimo, don’t be ungrateful! I’m trying to save you!”
“Oh?” Su Zimo did not stop smiling.
Shen Mengqi said, “Do you know of the five major sects? Do you know of Iridescent Clouds Palace? There are some people and factions you can’t afford to offend in the cultivation world. What are you still waiting for? Come and apologize!”
Demoness Ji clapped her hands and smiled. “Sister, you’re truly right about that. There are truly some people and factions you can’t afford to offend in the cultivation world.”
“Fufu.”
Xu You laughed icily, “Junior Sister, an apology has to be sincere. I’ll only let Su Zimo off if he kneels and kowtows three times in front of me!”
In Xu You’s opinion, humiliating Su Zimo in front of the girl in pink might produce an even better effect than killing him.
“Senior Brother, isn’t that a little overboard?” Shen Mengqi frowned slightly.
“Humph!”
Xu You replied coldly, “That’s not all! Su Zimo is not the only one who should be kneeling and apologizing! His brother has to do it as well!”
“Senior Brother, I’m begging you. Let this matter…”
“This matter is non-negotiable!”
At this moment, Su Zimo suddenly stood up and walked towards Xu You expressionlessly.
Thinking that Xu You had compromised and was about to apologize, Xu You could not help but laugh smugly. “Haha, at least you know your place!”
“How annoying!”
Su Zimo came in front of Xu You and said. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Xu You’s throat with lightning speed.
Su Zimo squeezed hard!
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking echoed as Xu You’s eyes turned bloodshot and almost popped out of their sockets, looking at Su Zimo in disbelief.
He had not expected that Su Zimo would dare lay a hand on him!
More than that, he had not expected that Su Zimo would dare kill him!
Furthermore, there were no chances given at all – it was a sure-kill strike!
Su Zimo released his grip and heaved a long sigh of relief, muttering softly, “That’s quieter now.”
Xu You’s head tilted and fell to the ground in a thud. He was dead!
A dead silence took over the chamber.
Complete silence.
