Chapter 497

"Hey, you little brat, why are you so stubborn? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Senior, please calm your anger. It is truly impossible for this disciple to betray my Master."

"Do you believe I'll deal with you, you little brat?"

"Even if you deal with me, I still won't betray my Master."

No matter what Xiuling said, she refused to agree, and her expression of being ready to face death made Until Hong Zun so angry that his beard and eyes twitched.

This young girl looked quite sharp, so why was she so single-minded? She didn't seem to understand anything he said.

Seeing Until Hong Zun becoming increasingly impatient, Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward.

"Master, please calm down. With your status, how can you get angry with a junior? If word gets out, it will tarnish your reputation."

"Get lost! Look at her, then look at all of you—a bunch of rebellious brats, always thinking about plotting against your Master."

It was meant to be a comfort, but he was met with a head-on scolding. Xu Jie didn't get angry, however, and continued with a smile.

"Master, why don't you hand her over to me? I'm sure I can persuade her."

"You?"

He cast a suspicious glance at Xu Jie, looking completely unconvinced.

"Master, just trust this disciple once. By tomorrow morning, I will definitely be able to persuade her."

Xu Jie patted his chest in assurance. Seeing this, Until Hong Zun didn't have any better ideas for the moment, so he could only nod and agree, letting the kid give it a try.

Afterward, Xiuling was taken to Xu Jie's room and tied to a chair. Xiuling felt a bit panicked and said cautiously.

"Third Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? Since you refuse to cooperate, Junior Sister, I naturally have no choice but to use punishment."

"Punishment?"

"Yes, the most severe punishment of our Dao Yi Sect. How about it? It's not too late to regret it now, Junior Sister."

"Senior Brother, I really cannot betray my Master. Why don't you let me go and pretend I never came today?"

"That won't do. Either help us, or don't blame your Senior Brother for being heartless." ===== CHAPTER 498 =====
