When All Hope is Lost

Ye Jiao looked at Zhan Jing, smiling brightly yet there was a tinge of sadness in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Master. I can't hear any words that you say to me."

"Jiao'er?" Lu Wan was stunned.

Qi Huan looked at the young girl as he noticed a trail of blood coming out from the girl's ear. In that very moment, he understood perfectly that she must have destroyed her own ear from inside. She knew that Zhan Jing might give her an order, but she didn't want to fulfill it, so she blocked the way for her to listen to him.

As long as she didn't know what kind of order Zhan Jing gave her, she didn't have any obligation to listen!

"How foolish," Qi Huan muttered as he plopped to the ground, unable to keep standing up. Even though he had his own pride, right now, he truly didn't have any strength left to sustain his body in standing position.
