Chapter 4147: Self-Inflicted

Qiao Mu's gaze, like a cold bolt of lightning, shot directly at Zhou Bao and the others. "Is she mute? Do you need to answer for her? Shut up!"

Zhou Bao and the others retreated a few steps with bitter smiles, their eyes flickering as they glanced around.

It was strange, the overwhelming sand scorpions had all stopped moving, lying dormant on the ground, not budging an inch.

However, Zhou Bao and the others knew very well that if they dared to make any further moves at this moment, these sand scorpions would certainly react, once again encircling them.

"Your Royal Highness," Cha Pin-chao, leading several disciples from Splendor Academy, hurriedly approached Mo Lian, bowing low. "Might you intervene and mediate this?"

He felt that with things having escalated to this point, His Highness also bore an undeniable responsibility, didn't he?

If His Highness had informed Senior Sister Hong earlier about the little Crown Princess's true cultivation level, Senior Sister Hong wouldn't have impulsively gone forward and insisted on challenging the little Crown Princess in an arena match.

Mo Lian didn't even bother to lift an eyelid, merely glancing at him coldly. "Self-inflicted suffering."

Cha Pin-chao immediately felt a surge of anger.

Although he also held great disdain for Hong Shang, this foolish woman, they were, after all, both from Splendor City.

If Hong Shang lost face so spectacularly, could they, as disciples of Splendor City, still maintain their dignity?

Naturally, it was impossible!

Mo Lian's gaze indifferently swept over Cha Pin-chao, a cold sneer in his heart.

If these disciples from Splendor City had shown even an ounce of respect for him, the Young City Lord, they wouldn't have come provoking trouble for his wife today.

He typically didn't reside in Splendor City.

For many years, his maternal grandfather had also spent most of his time in the capital, looking after his mother.

He must have been quite negligent in managing the affairs of Splendor City on a daily basis.

Splendor City now had three Grand Deacons who jointly governed.

And Hong Shang's grandfather, Grand Deacon Hong, was one of them.

It seemed that after many years, some people had forgotten who the true master of Splendor City was.

Since they dared to be so arrogant, they should be prepared to dig their own graves, shouldn't they?

"Your Royal Highness!"

Mo Lian finally lifted his eyelids, meeting Cha Pin-chao's gaze.

Cha Pin-chao was instantly frozen by the coldness in his eyes, not daring to move freely for a long time.

The look in this lord's eyes was truly terrifying; that sharpness, tinged with a cold chill, instantly felt like a piece of ice melting into their hearts.

It made their breathing involuntarily tighten.

"Self-inflicted!" His Royal Highness's cold voice caused all the students of Splendor Academy to feel their hearts sink heavily.

It seemed that today, they had thoroughly offended His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess.

Cha Pin-chao, annoyed, couldn't help but secretly curse Miss Hong for being brainless.

He had already told her that if she was going to provoke, she needed to do her homework.

Now look, she provoked the Crown Princess, and now she couldn't even get herself out of this predicament.

Splendor City rarely appeared in the world, and participating in various competitions was even rarer.

Unexpectedly, their first appearance in a competition... resulted in such an embarrassing defeat.

From now on, it was hard to guarantee that Splendor City wouldn't leave a bad impression in people's minds as being pretentious and undeserving of its reputation.

Cha Pin-chao took a deep breath, then turned to look at the arena.

At this sight, he couldn't help but feel so enraged that the veins on his forehead almost burst.
