2675: Who Told You to Act on Your Own?

Who Told You to Act on Your Own?

Nie Yaoguang's entire body shook. She lowered her head and hastily caught up to the principal guardian's stride.1

She involuntarily clenched her fists inside her sleeves.

The two mystic horses were very fast, and they soon arrived in front of an ordinary peasant family's suburban courtyard house.

Nie Yaoguang gingerly followed the principal guardian Wen Quan into the court.

A slender figure slowly turned around. He gazed coldly at her, his face covered by a demon mask.

Nie Yaoguang's body stiffened, and she hastily knelt on the ground. "Hall Master."

"Who told you to act on your own?" A heavy palm strike landed heavily on Nie Yaoguang's face.

"Ah." Nie Yaoguang screamed as she fell toward the flowerbed inside the courtyard.

The principal guardian Wen Quan's face was extremely taut. He hung his head slightly and solemnly stood to the side with his hands behind his back. His expression was extremely respectful.

Nie Yaoguang reacted in time and hastily crawled forward. Her disheveled hair made her look discomposed. She scrambled to the demon-masked man's feet and repeatedly kowtowed to beg for mercy. "Hall Master, Hall Master, I know my mistake, Hall Master! Hall Master, I know my mistake. Yaoguang dares not act on her own again in the future."

The demon-masked Hall Master, who had Nie Yaoguang's hand wrapped around his leg, looked down coldly at the woman before suddenly kicking her away.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are still of some use, do you think Master would use so many resources to ransom you?"

"Yaoguang understands, Yaoguang understands." Nie Yaoguang prostrated on the ground and begged bitterly. Tears streamed down her face as she regretted very much what she had done back then.

"After this incident, I hope that you will be able to use your brains in the future." The demon-masked man stared coldly at Nie Yaoguang for a moment before suddenly asking indifferently, "Stretch out your hand."

"Yes." Nie Yaoguang hastily rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of charred skin.

The demon-masked man furrowed his brows as he stared at her arm, but he still took her pulse.

The demon-masked man retracted his hand in less than a minute. Afterwards, he casually tossed her a pill. "After taking it, your thunderbolt injuries will heal by about 60 percent."

"Thank you, Hall Master." Nie Yaoguang's hands shook as she took the pill from the demon-masked man and hastily swallowed it.

Sure enough, the injuries on her body were gradually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The demon-masked man looked at her indifferently. "You are dismissed."

"Yes. This subordinate will take leave now." After standing up, Nie Yaoguang quickly smoothed out her disheveled hair and curtsied before hastily taking her leave.

Wen Quan walked up and whispered to the demon-masked man, "Hall Master Gong, Hall Master Gong. Her body hasn't been affected, right."

The demon-masked man sniggered. "Luckily, the source has not been damaged. You have to keep an eye on her in the future and don't let her do anything foolish again."

"Yes." Wen Quan said gravely, "This subordinate has failed in his duty this time."

The demon-masked man waved his hand and said, "Master places great importance on this experimental subject. You have to be careful in everything you do while staying in the capital."

"Yes."

"Don't act rashly as of late." The demon-masked man said coldly, "Also, warn Nie Yaoguang to behave herself and not provoke people she simply can't deal with."

"Yes, this subordinate understands. This subordinate will definitely keep an eye on the Holy Daughter."

After Wen Quan kept harping on with a taut face, he looked up again to see that Hall Master Gong was nowhere to be seen.

A gust of wind enveloping a small pitch-black bottle landed in Wen Quan's hand.

A faint voice came from mid-air. "Continue feeding this medicine to Nie Yaoguang."

"Understood!"
