Ma Zhou felt a tingling at the back of his scalp, his eyes fixed on Gu Mingyue whose face shimmered with a chilling gleam, a deep panic rising in his heart.
He clearly remembered that when he first arrived, Gu Mingyue was warmly caring and attentive to him, exceptionally kind. Why was she now showing this demeanor?
"Uncle Master, why is it like this?" Ma Zhou inquired.
"You still have the face to ask? Let me ask you this: why didn't you show up at the God Sealing Ceremony?" Gu Mingyue retorted, turning the blame onto Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou was taken aback: "God Sealing Ceremony? Isn't the God Sealing Ceremony tomorrow? What disciple didn't attend?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? The God Sealing Ceremony concluded yesterday. You delayed and failed to show up, instead indulging in drunkenness in your room, ruining our Yellow Heaven Dao's significant affairs." Gu Mingyue's voice thundered as she scolded and held him accountable.
