Upon witnessing the youth's resolute demeanor for the first time, Mu Xinyin was somewhat dumbfounded. Suddenly, she bit her lip and choked out:
"You brat! Stop right there!"
"Pick up the sword! Pick up the sword, I say!"
"This sword was bestowed upon you by your master! How dare you decide on your own! Do you mean to cast me aside as your master too?"
On hearing this, the youth's shoulders trembled slightly, but he still did not stop walking.
"Hmph, you're... you're more stubborn than I am, boy."
Mu Xinyin covered her face with her hands. After a struggle, she shouted loudly:
"Alright! This time... it was my mistake! I broke our promise, I apologize to you, okay? My dear apprentice, hmm?"
As soon as these words were uttered.
Sure enough, the youth finally stopped in his tracks.
"Master, if an apology were enough..."
Before he could finish.
The beautiful master behind him spoke again: "Alright! Your master has lost to this stubborn little mule!"
