405 Disqualification 405 Disqualification Ye Cangyuan listened silently.
His brows furrowed slightly as he sternly said, “I will not repeat myself a second time!”
An invisible aura of authority gradually bore down upon the room.
Li Shiqian felt a surge of reverence in her heart.
*But, how could she possibly apologize like this? Where would her dignity go?*
*If she were to apologize to the likes of Xia Chaoge, Jin Zhongming, or Liang Feiyan, top prodigies of the Nine-Sect, then perhaps it wouldn’t matter.*
*Their status and position were self-evident.*
*Apologizing to them wouldn’t be shameful.*
*But Jiang Fan? Who was he?*
*Just a nobody without a Spirit Root!*
*To bow and apologize to him—wouldn’t that tarnish her standing as a proud daughter of the Supreme Sect?*
*Yet Ye Cangyuan favored Jiang Fan, forcing her into submission.*
She could only glare at Jiang Fan, her face full of defiance, and said, “Jiang Fan, I misunderstood you today.”
“I am willing to apologize.”
“But not here, and not now.”
“I’ll personally apologize to you in private and even offer compensation.”
“I hope you can understand me.”
Jiang Fan laughed bitterly in frustration.
He coldly remarked, “When you slandered me, you made sure the whole world heard it.”
“Now, when you’re apologizing, you want only me to hear it?”
He truly hadn’t expected this.
A simple apology had turned into a spectacle because of this woman!
If her attitude had been even slightly better, Jiang Fan would not have pursued the matter further.
*But the more obstinate she became,*
*the less Jiang Fan could afford to let her off the hook!*
“Apologize! Here, now, immediately!”
His voice resounded like thunder as he commanded.
Li Shiqian flared in anger. “Jiang Fan, don’t push me too far!”
“Our Sect Master and my Senior Brother are here!”
“Don’t think that just because Xia Chaoge calls you ‘Martial Uncle,’ you can trample all over me!”
She even dared to openly threaten him.
A stance of defiance radiated from her as if she would never bow her head.
However.
This completely enraged Ye Cangyuan.
A cold fury burned in his eyes as his robes billowed with unseen power. He declared icily, “The one being insolent is you!”
Without any visible action on his part.
A terrifying pressure descended like a tsunami, crushing Li Shiqian.
*Thud!*
Li Shiqian’s cultivation, at the First Level of Core Formation, was powerless against such overwhelming might.
In an instant, she was slammed heavily to the ground!
From the devastating impact, she involuntarily spat out a massive spray of blood mist.
Li Shiqian groaned miserably, her eyes filled with shock.
*Ye Cangyuan had actually… personally struck her.*
*Only now did she realize that her public threats had crossed Ye Cangyuan’s bottom line!*
Forget about her injuries, she hurriedly scrambled to her knees and pleaded, “Disciple… Disciple has erred.”
Ye Cangyuan replied coldly,
“Threatening another disciple right in front of me?”
“Your Sect Master and your Senior Brother, so impressive?”
With a turn of his hand, he retrieved a thick roster.
The list recorded the names of disciples from various sects who were participating in missions.
