Cheng Kun never expected Chu Yi would humiliate him like this, especially in front of so many people. His face was burning with embarrassment, but he couldn't let his words falter.
"You really think highly of yourself. I was merely joking," he retorted.
Old Man Zhuge, seeing Chu Yi's resilient spirit, raised his thumb in approval, saying, "Not bad, not bad! This kid has some backbone."
Shangguan Bo drew in a sharp breath and scoffed, "I can't believe Hengyue Sect still has someone like this. Well, no wonder the sect is in such decline."
Shangguan Yu, unaware of past grudges, nodded in agreement with her third uncle. "Chu Yi's words were certainly reckless. After all, Zhengyang Sect is so powerful right now. Provoking them like this won't end well."
Situ Nan, however, exaggeratedly expressed his support for Chu Yi's response.
He began clapping his hands loudly and shouted, "That's it! That's exactly what should be said!"
