He gave Wanmeng a smile, dispersing the desolation in his eyes, and said, "I'm willing to do all this. No one forced me."
At the same time, he also silently admitted in his heart that it was all for Shu Yue. As long as Shu Yue could be safe and sound, he would never regret doing anything.
This pale and bleak smile instantly stabbed Shu Yue's eyes and also made his heart ache like a needle prick.
"Dad, why do you have to do this?" Unable to contain his heartache, it was fully revealed. He took his father's hand and held it in his palm, looking affectionately into the grievance in his eyes.
"Dad, you don't have to wrong yourself anymore." Then his tenderness was covered by ice and snow. He turned to Li Nao, who was standing by indifferently, and coldly spat out a sentence from his thin lips: "Because my master, Kun Wu, is about to leave seclusion. If he knows that I'm injured but the acting sect leader doesn't care, he should be very angry, right?"
His tone was calm, and his eyebrows were proud. Although there was a hint of a smile, in Li Nao's eyes, it was a smile hiding a knife.
And the master's leaving seclusion was undoubtedly the greatest threat to Li Nao. It also instantly destroyed his greedy desire to hold all the power alone.
Hearing this, he panicked. Just now he was still overbearing, but in an instant he became as timid as a mouse and couldn't even speak clearly: "You, you mean Kun Wu is about to leave seclusion?"
"That's right. Since Elder Li Nao is unwilling to give me the medicine, I'll go to my master to get it. I'm sure he must have a way."
He pulled Shu Yao and was about to leave, completely disdainful. Shu Yao was unwilling and was about to beg for the medicine again when he suddenly heard Li Nao speak from behind.
However, his voice was a bit flustered: "Don't go. I, I'll give you the medicine."
Looking back, he saw Li Nao quickly take out a small blue-and-white bottle from the cabinet. The sudden look of regret on his face caught Shu Yao off guard. He even felt that he had missed something during this period, which caused Li Nao's attitude to change so quickly.
Shu Yue hooked his lips proudly, casually snatched the medicine from Li Nao's hand, and then looked at Shu Yue. The coldness in his eyes deepened a bit: "Li Nao, do you think it's over just by giving me the medicine?"
Li Nao looked up, showing a bit of timidity. He was intimidated by this man's icy coldness: "What else do you want me to do?"
"Apologize to my dad!" Shu Yue said expressionlessly. His decisive and powerful voice landed, just like ice shards hitting Li Nao's head.
The word "apology" sounded simple, but for Li Nao, it was extremely difficult, almost impossible. But now that the sect leader was about to leave seclusion, in order to stay in the Kunshan School, he had to bow his head to Shu Yue.
He lowered his head, covering the resentment in his eyes. He was extremely reluctant, but on the surface, he apologized extremely sincerely: "Sorry, Shu Yao. I apologize for what happened just now."
Shu Yao didn't want to cause any more trouble. Although the three words "I'm sorry" couldn't make up for the dignity he had been trampled on just now, he could only accept his apology.
"It's okay. I'll just regard it as a misunderstanding."
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Li Nao, you treated my dad so badly before. How can a simple apology make up for it?" Shu Yue said calmly, with an overbearing tone. He never thought of letting Li Nao off so easily.
Did he think he could get away with it so easily after forcing Shu Yao to do so many excessive things? Dream on!
"Shu Yue, I've already apologized. What else do you want me to do!" Li Nao suddenly looked up. The fake apology on his face was covered by a hint of annoyance. His eyes were cold, and there was no trace of the sincerity he had shown before.
Shu Yue sneered coldly, peeling off his false mask: "Fine. Anyway, your attitude isn't very sincere. I'll just go to my master and let him judge."
"Stop!" Li Nao called out in time. In fact, it was an invisible threat to him.
He hated being threatened, hated being looked down upon by others, and hated being oppressed. But unfortunately, his unwilling heart was defeated by the title of "acting sect leader".
As long as Kun Wu was around, he would never be able to sit in the first seat of the Kunshan School, nor could he completely control the life and death of the Kunshan School.
Now that the sect leader was leaving seclusion, it meant that he would be demoted back to the position of elder. And Shu Yue's master was Kun Wu, so he had to bow his head to him again.
"I, I'll kneel!" He almost gritted his teeth and spat out these words, full of resentment and unwillingness. He clenched his fists, bent his knees slightly, put down his male pride, and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Shu Yue raised his lips in satisfaction, watching the bastard who had bullied his dad so much finally put down his posture and kneel in front of him.
Shu Yao was at a loss for a moment. He just didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he tugged at Shu Yue's sleeve and whispered: "Shu Yue, that's enough. He's already apologized."
"Being kind to a person like him is a mistake. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll make mistakes again!"
Then he glanced at Li Nao with a disdainful look. His words were cold, but there was a hint of sarcasm on his slightly raised lips.
"I, Shu Yue, am not a person who clings to reason. As long as you kowtow three times to my dad and say sorry, this matter will be over."
The indifferent voice echoed overhead. Kowtowing three times was definitely a great shame for Li Nao!
But in the end, he couldn't resist the cruelty of reality. As long as he thought of the master, Kun Wu, leaving seclusion, his resentment was finally buried by the panic in his heart.
"Okay, I'll kowtow!"
"Shu Yue, it's not necessary." Shu Yao wanted to stop him, but Shu Yue squeezed his hand tightly and said calmly: "Dad, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Facing such determination and coldness, Shu Yao could only keep silent and watch helplessly as Li Nao in front of him lowered his head with great difficulty. The veins on the hand hidden in his sleeve were bulging, and he was trying his best to hide his full of resentment.
Next, Li Nao kowtowed and said sorry as Shu Yue said. But no one knew how much strength he had used to utter those three words. He had to chew up his resentment and swallow it down before he could squeeze out those three words from between his teeth.
After three kowtows, the veins on Li Nao's forehead were bulging due to suppressed anger. The anger in his eyes was hidden in the darkness. He took the most difficult breath and said coldly: "Is that enough?"
"Yeah, you did a good job. You're quite sincere. Then we'll leave first. Thank you for the medicine."
Shu Yue dragged out the ending tone, with a hint of sarcasm in his laziness. He led Shu Yao swaggeringly and left the place with his head held high.
Everything returned to calm. The coldness on the ground seeped into Li Nao's knees. Instantly, a chill ran through his whole body, but it still couldn't melt the resentment in his heart.
He looked up from his chest, almost glaring with rage. He stared at the door hatefully, gritted his jaw muscles, and said coldly: "Shu Yue, I will definitely get back tenfold or a hundredfold the humiliation I suffered today on you!"
