All of Five's underlings were busy rounding up people, and no one paid attention to Shui Jing, who had long fallen silent in the background.
Shui Jing never expected Xu Ke to be such a capable fighter. Even Five was no match for him, making her previous urgent blame-shifting appear so despicable and laughable, like a clown trapped in a cage.
Shui Jing stood there, watching Xu Ke with a complicated expression. When Xu Ke glanced over, she looked back at him, hesitant to speak, as if her words earlier had been born out of such helplessness and necessity, as if everything wasn't as simple as it seemed, as if she had her own difficulties.
Shui Jing was just waiting for Xu Ke to speak to her. She didn't even need Xu Ke to angrily question her. As long as Xu Ke spoke to her and gave her a chance to speak, she had a ninety percent chance of getting Xu Ke to forgive her previous actions.
