As Lin Chuxue knelt down and firmly voiced her plea, the atmosphere in the square suddenly turned tense and heavy, with almost everyone instinctively holding their breath, rising in alertness...
Before the podium, the heads of Lianyue and Suyue halls, along with a group of elders and high-ranking figures of the Mirror Moon Palace, exchanged glances, all confused and at a loss.
Behind Lin Chuxue, the two maids from the Saintess Palace who followed were pale as paper, and they subsequently knelt down behind Lin Chuxue, lowering their heads, shivering...
They were clearly not pleading for Lin Chuxue, but knelt merely because they were terrified, fearing that the Palace Master might be angered and punish them.
"Chen Tang, is this your intention as well?"
Wen Jiyue was expressionless, her gaze shifting from Lin Chuxue to Chen Tang.
