Chapter 252: A War of Words

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Xia Lu looked at Zhou Mingchen, her mind seriously considering whether she should admit she knew her mistake or claim ignorance. She had played this game many times with Xia Zhiqiu before, the longest road she had ever walked was but a web of human schemes.

"Do you realize what your mistake is?"

"I don't know."

"You don't even know where you went wrong, and you're not reflecting on it properly, you won't be allowed to eat today until you figure it out."

Clearly, this path was a dead end. But if she changed her tactics.

"Do you understand what your mistake is?"

"I do."

"Deliberately making the same mistake despite knowing better, incurring a greater penalty. Reflect on why you would insist on doing this, if you're deliberately opposing me. What good would it do you if you anger me to death?"
