Zhong Hua's eyes gleamed with a cold, unfeeling light as she watched the panic in Lan Xuner's eyes. The crowd, now fully engaged, leaned in, their breaths held in anticipation of what would come next. Lan Xuner, despite her initial bravado, now appeared more like a cornered animal than the arrogant young woman who had stepped onto the stage.
"There is no need to look at me like I am the villain here~" Seeing the glare in her eyes, Zhong Hua chuckled with an amused tone. She could tell the woman before her was trying to appear pitiful in the eyes of the viewers just to smear her reputation.
She twisted the hand in her grasp, causing the woman to turn and scream in pain. Leaning closer to Lan Xuner's ear, she whispered, "Do you think I care what those people think about me?"
It was then Lan Xuner realized that Zhong Hua was someone who had injured the son of one of the elders from her sect to the point of giving him a trauma of women.
