That burly man stumbled forward uncontrollably after suddenly getting hit in the back by a palm strike.
This propelled him under another person’s whip, which immediately tore his flesh. He covered the whip lash on his face and howled in anguish.
For a moment, it was silent inside and outside the hall.
Everybody’s teasing laughter came to a halt because of this, and they turned around in surprise.
Shuntian Prefecture’s prefecture lord and his wife, who were sitting in the center and entertaining the guests of honor, looked at Qiao Mu’s group with peculiar expressions.
!!
Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Geng Pengcheng, looked like a middle-aged man who was nearing fifty. His sideburns were sparse, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His scrutinizing gaze from his bright and piercing eagle eyes was the kind that unconsciously intimidated its target.
Seated beside him was Passionless Palace’s Palace Master Feng. She had wrinkles around her eyes and on her neck. Even though she was done up with exquisite makeup, it was unable to completely cover up the signs of age on her face. However, her raven-black eyes were extremely fine and bright.
Qiao Mu gazed apathetically at the burly man who was clutching his face and yelling in pain.
She moved her fingers, and a green vine whip shot out from her sleeve. It chopped the wood pillar with a lash.
The vine whip raised up and caught a gaunt figure.
The next instant, she pulled that dark and skinny 11-year-old youth to her side.
Not only did this child have numerous lashes on his face, his body was also strewn with wounds. His legs were also abnormally distorted, like they had gotten beaten until they broke.
Qiao Mu’s sharp eyes landed on that burly man who had been beating him.
“Scum!” Countless vine whips shot out from beneath the burly man. It was as if tens of millions of venomous snakes had burrowed into the man’s body.
“Ah!” Because he got caught off guard, he was unable to fend off a level-four spiritual cultivator’s full-strength attack. He screamed horrifically on the spot.
Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Geng Pengcheng stood up and stretched out his hand, saying, “This must be a student of Apex Academy. We should talk things out if there is a problem!”
“Would you not know who I am? Why continue to pretend?” Qiao Mu coldly interrupted Geng Pengcheng’s hypocritical words without a ripple in her emotions.
The little lady’s gaze was filled with contempt and mocking, making one extremely uncomfortable.
Yet Geng Pengcheng held it in and pretended to chuckle, “This miss seems to have some misunderstanding toward me. I…”
*Crash!* The burly man who was originally hanging from the thorny vines crashed down hard to the floor, which also broke off Geng Pengcheng’s words.
There was dead silence in the main hall.
Prefecture Lord Geng’s eyelid jerked as anger flared up in his heart.
This little lady was too brazen. As expected, she was exactly as his subordinates reported several days ago.
She truly was an arrogant and spoiled little lass!
He had originally planned to intimidate them and take them down a notch, yet before he could do so, she had already killed his own subordinate on the spot.
Abominable! Geng Pengcheng’s expression had turned sullen, and he looked at Qiao Mu wrathfully. “What is the meaning of this?”
Qiao Mu loathed to pay him any attention. She set that dark child on the floor and treated his broken legs.
“Ha ha.” At this time, an extravagantly dressed young man who looked rather handsome and refined, walked out from beside Geng Pengcheng. However, his chin was extremely pointy and his skin was overly white, as if afflicted by illness.
