Chapter 5653: Compensation, Part 1
Everyone at this moment couldn't help but want to let out a few furious cries.
Why?
Heavens and Earth!
What nerve did this Heavenly Dao have to screw them over like this?
What the heck was going on?
Was it really necessary?!
What good did it do to screw them over so badly?
Thinking this, the forthright female cultivator couldn't help but genuinely question him, "Heavenly Dao elder, why is it that every year the Divine Palace trials go off without a hitch, but this year you have to raise the difficulty?"
"Exactly!" Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at the female cultivator with eyes that regarded her as a hero.
A woman who dared to bravely question an oppressive force truly had more guts than all the gentlemen present!
The Heavenly Dao couldn't help but retort, "I, this old man, can open whatever mode I want. Do I need to explain it to you little cultivators??"
The truth was, I, this old man, didn't want to screw you over; the only ones I wanted to screw over from beginning to end were Qiaomu's family of three. You guys were just collateral damage, hmph.
The female cultivator looked unconvinced. "Heavenly Dao elder, if that's the case, then you are in the wrong. By arbitrarily raising the trial difficulty like this, you've made things very difficult for us."
The Heavenly Dao grew angry, glaring at the impudent female cultivator. "What do you mean? Are you questioning my decisions?!"
"Whatever mode I, this old man, give you, you have to accept it!"
"That's not how it works. Every year it's normal mode, but this year you gave us a ten-times harder mode. That seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it? There should be some reason."
"The reason is, this fellow wanted to screw over my little niece's family, and you were all just incidentally caught in the crossfire."
The female cultivator bowed to Qin Nitian, speaking earnestly, "Thank you for the pointer, senior."
Qin Nitian's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look at the female cultivator a few more times.
The girl had a long ponytail, looking sharp and spirited. Her expression was neutral, her mouth slightly downturned, and her dark eyes were filled with disagreement towards the Heavenly Dao.
"Heavenly Dao elder, if that's the case, then you tried to trick someone but failed, and as a result, you dragged all of us innocent people into it."
Everyone: ...
This female warrior, you've spoken the thoughts most people didn't dare to utter. You're truly incredible!
Adult Qiaoqiao glanced at her, then looked back at the Heavenly Dao.
Then, the female cultivator spoke with clear articulation and powerful conviction, "Compensate us!"
Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and the others couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Everyone: ...
Qiaomu: ??
Strange, this female cultivator's way of doing things seems a bit familiar, inexplicably to her taste!
"Co-co-compensate??" The Heavenly Dao actually stuttered a bit, pointing at the female cultivator, smoke practically coming out of his nostrils. "You, you actually dare to tell me, this old man, the Heavenly Dao, to compensate??"
Blasphemous, utterly blasphemous!
Simply outrageous!
He absolutely couldn't compensate today.
If he actually compensated, what kind of person would he be?
"Of course, you have to compensate." The stern-faced female cultivator remained expressionless, her voice very rigid.
But she was very polite, every word powerful and clear in its delivery.
"If it weren't for you, Heavenly Dao elder, wanting to screw over Madam Mo and her family of three, and incidentally implicating us ordinary Saint Domain citizens, this situation wouldn't be happening now."
"How much time did we waste and how much energy did we expend after entering the Divine Palace?"
"You should know that too."
