"What if I say no?"
The emotionless/colorless words arose beside each person's ear like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, causing everyone to freeze in shock.
It seemed no one expected Ye Xunhuan to outright refuse Mu Tiange's proposal.
Although they didn't know exactly who Mu Tiange was, the fact that he dared to speak like that meant he must be someone of great importance, and his words were definitely ones Mu Rulin would take seriously to some extent.
Now here was Mu Tiange helping Ye Xunhuan, yet he was bluntly rejected by Ye Xunhuan.
Was it the naivety of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers or the sheer power of a fierce dragon crossing the river, completely fearless of Mu Rulin?
At this moment, not only did Mu Rulin's face look somewhat unsightly, but even Mu Tiange's expression was becoming hard to maintain.
He'd kindly played the mediator, only to be outright refused by the other party.
It was a slap in the face, a blatant slap in the face.
