Chapter 2562: Chapter 2563: Please Forgive Me
As for the others, didn’t they want to leave? Well, let them go then. He’d be happier without anyone nagging in his ear.
“Captain!”
Hearing his words, several people were left speechless.
If they left the captain, they wouldn’t even be able to find the assembly point, right?
How could they walk away like this? Wasn’t this intentionally said to leave them with no response?
“Alright, let’s just listen to the captain.”
After arguing for a long time, Lu Tianfeng finally spoke, sighing softly as he did.
He also realized that it wasn’t necessary to deal with these people on the way to the assembly point; it might be better to handle them after receiving the mission.
By then, the city lord’s token would be in his hand, and no one would be able to stop him from doing as he pleased.
These people—he would deal with them sooner or later, but there was no rush.
…
Elsewhere, as soon as the team stopped to rest, Ling Xue’er collapsed on the ground, unwilling to get up.
“Brother Jue, are you really mad at Xue’er?”
She looked pitifully towards Captain Yuan Jue, cautiously asking.
But Captain Yuan Jue only glanced at her coldly, then instructed two people to prepare dinner while he started setting up a simple place to sleep.
Ling Xue’er: “…”
Was he really ignoring her?
What did she do wrong? She genuinely didn’t understand; clearly, she was also thinking of everyone’s well-being!
Did that woman throwing them down like that mean she was right?
They weren’t sacks with no life that could be tossed around at will; they were living, breathing people!
“It’s all because of her!”
Turning her head, she looked hatefully in Lin Caisang’s direction.
If only she had been a bit gentler at the time, not throwing them to the ground, she wouldn’t have said anything about that woman and would even have been grateful to her.
But that woman just had to…
Her malicious thoughts cursing Lin Caisang were suddenly halted by Sui Zimo’s cold, sinister gaze darting over.
Feeling guilty, she withdrew her gaze and looked back towards Captain Yuan Jue.
Why was there such a massive difference between people? That woman was so well-protected by her man that no one could even curse her or give her a dirty look.
And here she was—Yuan Jue wouldn’t even acknowledge her. During this entire journey, he let her limp along with them!
Back home, she had never suffered such grievances.
And it was all because of that woman—it’s all that woman’s fault that she ended up like this.
If it weren’t for Lin Caisang, if she got hurt, Yuan Jue would definitely carry her, instead of treating her like a stranger.
She now genuinely felt like she wanted to kill someone!
But that woman was so well-protected by her man that she couldn’t even glare at her to vent her frustrations.
How could this be?
She took a deep breath and had to stand herself up, dragging one injured leg to Yuan Jue’s side.
“Brother Jue, I know I was wrong. Please don’t be mad anymore. I won’t talk nonsense in front of you next time. Please forgive me.”
At the moment of her admitting fault, Yuan Jue’s eyes did flicker for a second, but upon hearing her last two sentences, he was genuinely infuriated by Ling Xue’er once again.
Did Ling Xue’er’s words really indicate she knew she was wrong?
