Chapter 971: Bravo, Boss

Bravo, Boss . . .

Cold sweat drenched Cha Eun Xiao's attire.

[I... a Dream Origin Stage cultivator... shouted so impolitely and vehemently at a lady... who is much more potent than me, even in my previous existence...] n()o(/V((e/.L-/b)(I.)n

[I'm still alive! Didn't she just strike me down?]

He felt a little woozy... [Did I genuinely... behave so irrationally just now...?]

[I'm rather impressed with myself...]

Xuan Bing was clad entirely in black. Her large, round rain hat obscured nearly half of her face, and the silk mask concealed her facial expressions. Cha Eun Xiao sensed that this formidable lady was somewhat at a loss.

That was perfectly understandable. As a superlative cultivator, she had been subjected to Cha Eun Xiao's outburst. She must have felt uncomfortable.

[She must genuinely possess an extraordinary level of patience not to have struck me down.]

"I apologize." Cha Eun Xiao slowly took a deep breath and uttered, "It pertains to my dignity. I lost control of myself and offended you."

Xuan Bing remained silent.

[Your dignity? Do you truly care about that? You have... defamed me... Where is my dignity?]

Cha Eun Xiao heaved a protracted sigh and remarked, "Perhaps that's just my disposition. I can't tolerate anyone wronging me. Absolutely no one. I must expose the truth."

It sounded like an explanation but bore a stronger resemblance to self-praise.

He couldn't bring himself to humbly apologize; after all, he didn't genuinely believe he was mistaken, even though he recognized the gravity of the situation. He would rather forfeit his dignity than trade it for her favor.

Xuan Bing remained silent for a moment and then remarked coolly, "No need for further explanations. I didn't take it to heart. In any case, I initiated this. I made an error."

Cha Eun Xiao nodded. "Miss Xuan is an exceptionally perceptive individual. Impressive."

[Perceptive?]

Xuan Bing rolled her eyes in disdain.

She inquired, "You stated that you can't tolerate anyone wronging you and that you must reveal the truth. What else might trigger your abrupt anger? Can you inform me? In case I inadvertently utter something that leads to another absurd altercation!"

Cha Eun Xiao pondered for a moment and then smiled ruefully. He responded, "You're an exceedingly magnanimous lady. I suspect that if I answer this question, it will make me seem like a narrow-minded individual. There is one more thing I cannot endure. Betrayal. Betrayal is what I detest most."

Xuan Bing's body trembled once again. She did not respond to his statement.

Cha Eun Xiao advanced and stated coolly, "In reality, nobody enjoys being wronged or betrayed. I, for one, abhor both. Betrayal, in my eyes, is a sin punishable by death. Anyone who betrays me once will never be my friend again."

"That's why I have few friends. Not in the lower realm or in this world." He stated blandly, "I can't rid myself of the fear that, someday, someone will betray me. The sole thing I ask of my friends... is loyalty. No betrayals. I won't betray anyone either."

"I am wholehearted with my friends. I won't tolerate any betrayals! I loathe it!"

"This is my principle." He smiled ruefully. "It may sound like a jest. For that, I apologize."

Xuan Bing sighed and commented, "I comprehend. It should be the unwavering principle of an upright individual."

"It is my principle," Cha Eun Xiao emphasized.

He gazed at Xuan Bing. For the first time, he felt that the lady behind the silk mask was a considerate person. She did not appear as aloof as people often portrayed her. At the very least, he held a considerably improved opinion of her now.

If he were to convey this opinion to anyone, he might find himself pummeled to death...

He had never encountered her dark side before! The terror induced by Xuan Bing was beyond his imagination!

She refrained from becoming angry with him, purely because she chose not to.

In her heart, she knew she had wronged Cha Eun Xiao. In fact, she felt a sense of irritation about it in that moment.

Cha Eun Xiao gazed at Xuan Bing. He couldn't discern her face, and her eyes were hidden from view. Nevertheless, he could sense her eyes locked on him.

Within her gaze, a trace of annoyance flickered, though there was no malice present.

He did not feel oppressed by her.

For a brief moment, they exchanged glances, and then both averted their eyes. They resumed their journey forward.

Not far ahead, Han Bingxue waited patiently. He appeared anxious and agitated, periodically craning his neck to observe their progress.

When he witnessed them walking side by side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered to himself, "He truly is my boss. He managed to make amends with someone like Xuan Bing... If I were in his shoes, regardless of how wronged I felt, I'd never dare to lose my temper with her..."

"That could ultimately result in an irreparable catastrophe."

"However, he shouted at her... He expressed his anger... And now, she's fine. She appears even more composed..."

He was utterly impressed!

[That's incredible!]

He almost wanted to kneel before Cha Eun Xiao. [Boss, I admire you so much...]

"Miss Xuan, you are a remarkably magnanimous and open-minded lady. You surpass many men. I hold you in high regard. In fact, I still have a question that you may need to address," Cha Eun Xiao said. "I wonder if I should inquire now?"

Xuan Bing huffed and responded, "If you think it's inadvisable, then don't ask."

She had been quite pleased with Cha Eun Xiao's magnanimity until she heard his compliment, suggesting she was superior to men. Was that a suitable compliment for a woman? Not really. Suddenly, her irritation resurfaced. That's why she didn't respond to him in a polite manner!

Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback by her response, but he believed he needed to pose the question. He cleared his throat and continued, "Well... I'm simply confused... Why did you believe that I needed to employ that 'interaction method' on your disciples to resolve your issue? I've only encountered two individuals from your sect, Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu. I've never acted improperly toward either of them. I'm considering... perhaps there's a rationale behind your perspective..."
