Gu Ruoyun gently curled the corners of her lips as she watched the scene before her while an almost undetectable light flashed across her cool eyes. However, no one could figure out what she was thinking when she looked at the Regional Kings eyes.

Apologize!

When he noticed that Su Lin was not responding, the Regional Kings expression sank as he berated her once again, Apologize to her immediately!

Su Lins tender figure quivered as if this was the first time the Regional King has ever spoken to her so angrily. She bit her lips as she shot Gu Ruoyun a hateful and unwilling glare!

Im sorry!

Under the Regional Kings cold and grim gaze, Su Lin finally spat her apology out reluctantly. However, her eyes were filled with humiliation while the hatred and venom in her eyes deepened.

Gu Ruoyun, my father scolded me for the first time today because of you. One day, I will pay you back for all the humiliation Ive suffered today!

Su Lin took a deep breath at the thought of this as she balled her hands into tight fists at her side. Her nails dug deeply into her palm until thin trickles of blood flowed out. However, she did not seem to notice the pain.

Theres no need to apologize.

Gu Ruoyun smiled airily under Su Lins angry glare as she replied, Regional King, Ive disturbed you enough and I wont disrupt your peace and quiet any longer. Farewell.

She had not needed to hear Su Lins apology.

In fact, it was useless even if Su Lin had apologized!

Gu Ruoyun would never forgive her!

Also, how was this apology any different from no apology at all? Do not judge the situation simply because the Regional King was shielding her on the surface. In reality, Gu Ruoyun knows very well that this man was indeed very annoyed with her! However, he had acted on account of saving Zuo Shangchens Masters face.

In reality, the Regional King had another reason for shieling Gu Ruoyun as well, that was the Ancient Divine Pagoda in her hands! If Gu Ruoyun were to leave the Regional Kings Mansion, it would not be so easy for him to obtain the Ancient Divine Pagoda!

This was the true reason why he had forced Su Lin to apologize!

Lady Gu! The Regional King frowned as he blocked Gu Ruoyuns way. Ive already asked Su Lin to apologize. If theres anything that youre still not happy with, please let me know and I will do what I can to fulfill your wishes. As a guest in the Regional Kings Mansion, I wont allow you to suffer any grief.

His words sounded so reasonable and fair that it would be difficult for anyone to reject his offer.

Unfortunately, in the face of the Regional Kings good intentions, Gu Ruoyun maintained her cool and indifferent smile while her eyes were like an ancient well with no sign of movement.

Theres no need, its inconvenient for me to stay in the Regional Kings Mansion. Lets go, Fourth Prince.

Hearing this, Zuo Shangchen shrugged his shoulders as he followed Gu Ruoyun out. His peach blossom and peerless features had carried a puzzling smile the entire time.

Lady Gu!

The Regional King was mildly incensed. This little girl really doesnt know whats good for her. Ive already lowered my status and she still insists on leaving! Shes looking down at the Regional Kings Mansion! Also, Ive even excoriated my most precious Liner because of her. What more does she want?

The more he thought about this, the angrier he felt. However, he did not let it show on his face and continued to display a mild and courteous manner.

If theres anything that you need, you may let me know. If you leave just like that, Im afraid that many in the Heavenly Moon Empire will believe that I had been thoughtless in hosting you as my guest. It would certainly draw a lot of talk from others. If you stay, I can lock Liner away until youve completed your task!

Su Lin was in a daze and she could only stare disbelievingly at the Regional King while her eyes filled with questions.
