When he said this, images of Wu Jinliang kneeling in various situations flashed through his mind, either kneeling down to call someone father or kneeling down to call someone mother.

For this one sentence, in the brief silence, he had already contemplated the various consequences he might face.

When he uttered this sentence, he quickly weighed the pros and cons, deciding whether his "arm" was more important or appeasing the person in front of him was more important. After considering its value, he obviously chose the former.

He was actually forced to the point of making a choice by Wu Jinliang's resolute attitude, leaving him with only two options.

As soon as he said this, the scene instantly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Feng Chi was very surprised. Was he really going to butt heads with Gong Shaoci? Could he afford it? Could he afford to offend him?

But she quickly regained her composure and had no intention of stepping forward to mediate because she thought Shi Chun was not someone who acted impulsively but a very pragmatic person. He could clearly discern the pros and cons, and since he decided to do so, she believed Shi Chun must have his assurances.

The one who was truly anxious was Xiang Laner watching from the outside. She wondered if Shi Chun had misconnected some wires today; he had just desecrated her, and now he was going hard against Gong Shaoci. Did he take the wrong medicine?

The matter of 'Desolate Broken Blade' was about to be resolved, and at this critical juncture, to cause such a conflict—what if it messed up the big plan?

She was considering whether to intervene, but it didn't match the persona she always displayed externally. She hesitated, pondering what to do.

The Mingshan Sect group was also just stunned for a moment, then collectively responded. Chu Jingtang was the first to brandish his weapon, and the others immediately brandished theirs and gathered around again.

At this moment, Duan Xiangmei looked around, her cheek was already swelling so quickly that one of her eyes was almost unable to open, as if she had no face to meet people. She voluntarily shrank behind Wu Jinliang, afraid people might see her, clutching the hem of his clothes with her fingers entangled tightly, and large tears rolled down like beans.

She cried but did not dare to cry out loud.

Before knowing Wu Jinliang, she was just a hired odd-job worker, ordered around by others, having encountered many humiliations and grievances without anyone standing up for her.

Today, the person she loved was standing in front of her.

There was also a group of people standing up for her; it was a scenario she had never dreamed of before—turns out she was important in some people's eyes.

She almost cried to death, afraid people would see, lowering her head to the extreme, but those droplet tears couldn't be hidden.

She also felt guilty, knowing she might have caused a big trouble for everyone this time.

Wu Jinliang's breathing was also somewhat unstable, clenching his teeth. Shi Chun stood firm for him, making him feel ashamed instead, as he knew he had brought big trouble for the Master.

But at the same time, he was moved. At the crucial moment, the Master still stood by his side, with his lips tightly pressed.

Gong Shaoci's group caught in a standoff was also stunned, especially Lei Ying, surprised that Shi Chun was so bold, daring not to give face to Gong Shaoci in public—didn't he know Gong Shaoci's family background? Impossible.

And Shi Chun personally stepping up was different compared to others stepping up; their influences could not be compared.

Without permission, Lei Ying didn't dare to rashly act against Shi Chun, knowing Shi Chun had a good relationship with the Miao family. The Miao family knew he knew. If he dared to mess with Shi Chun, knowing this, it would be like slapping the Miao family in the face. It might ruin his master's good relations with the Miao family, as Miao Dingyi had not yet relaxed on that marriage matter. Perhaps even a straw is wrong.

Moreover, Gong Shao was still brother to Shi Chun; touching Shi Chun, he had to look at Gong Shao's indication to act.

Therefore, he turned to look at Gong Shaoci.

At this moment, Gong Shaoci's face turned gloomy again. He hadn't expected Shi Chun dared to consistently not give him face, refusing to reveal the buyer was bad enough, and now dared to confront him directly. Was it real that he was not afraid to make a move?

He was silent for a while and then slowly spoke, "I didn't hear you clearly, what did you say?"

Shi Chun flipped his hand, grabbing a crimson knife. The blade had green clouds on it, and once the knife appeared, with a magical grip, many present noticed their blood was agitated, their spirits rippling.

Many fixed their gaze on the knife, realizing it was extraordinary.

At the same time, the 'Immortal Strangling Silk' was grabbed in his other hand, ready to cast a net over the group at any time.

He set his stance, explaining to Gong Shaoci, "Brother Gong, this fellow came to my place to beat people and injured my men. I need an explanation. Out of respect for Brother Gong, as long as he sincerely apologizes, this matter will be forgiven. Otherwise, it can only lead to mutual destruction."

Seeing this, Wu Jinliang also flipped his hand and grabbed another large gourd, prepared to cooperate with Shi Chun at any time.

Gong Shaoci's gaze turned cold, his lips pressing into a line, staring intently at Shi Chun.

He truly had not expected the minion he used to not even glance at dared to bite him now.

Perceptive Lei Ying displayed a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, "Mutual destruction? Aren't you overestimating yourself?"

Shi Chun replied indifferently, "You haven't been to the Land of Exile. I'm not afraid of death—I've crawled out of piles of dead bodies more times than I can count. I'm best at risking it all. Today, I'll lay it out here: either apologize sincerely, or kill me. As long as you don't kill me today, I won't hesitate to offer a secret technique for seeking the Divine Fire as a bounty on your whole family's life. Not until your entire family is wiped out will I stop!"
