Chapter 177: Soul Sacrifice

"So you mean to threaten me?"

Li Chen's expression remained neutral, devoid of any emotion.

Upon realizing Li Chen had understood his words, Wui Shaotian feigned calmness and chuckled awkwardly, "Mr. Li has misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

Li Chen, with no change in expression, pressed on, "So what do you mean then? I'm not well-read, so don't try to fool me!"

Wui Shaotian carefully chose his words before replying, "Mr. Li, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmities rather than harbor them. There's no deep-seated hatred between us. Why should we go as far as to seek each other's death over a woman? If you are willing to let me go, I, Wui Shaotian, swear to the heavens that I will never set foot in Jiangnan again in this lifetime."

As he spoke, he actually stretched out his finger and made a gesture as if taking an oath to heaven.
