"Saknu, what on earth are you trying to do?"
"Admit it, are you jealous? Huh?"
His deep voice held traces of sentimentality as he continued to press the previous topic.
Cai Wei looked at him in disbelief, hardly able to believe such imbecilic words could come out of his mouth.
Would she be jealous over him?
Pah! In her next life, maybe!
However, her hesitation due to surprise was misunderstood by him as guilt for being caught red-handed, so a triumphant look spread across his handsome face.
"Actually, even if you admit to being jealous, it doesn’t matter, I can..."
Cai Wei, afraid he would continue, interrupted him quickly, her gaze as sincere as ever.
"I don’t know how I gave you the wrong impression, but I am really not jealous, there’s nothing between us but acquaintanceship. I absolutely would not be jealous over you; really."
Upon hearing her explanation, Saknu’s face twisted in annoyance. He frowned, sneered, and said, somewhat viciously, "I almost forgot, you’re into the pretty boy, Nangong Yi!"
Hearing him belittle Nangong Yi, Cai Wei instinctively retorted, "If I recall correctly, at Lin’an Prefecture, someone was too scared to show himself until he had left!"
Angered by her words, Saknu forcefully grasped Cai Wei’s chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"Spoilsport, I will say it again, I, Saknu, am not afraid of him. I will defeat him right in front of you, and you too, will be punished for your foolishness!"
His temper flared at this audacious woman, who dared to defend the pretty boy and belittle him. He would definitely not let her go easily.
Fuming, he leaned down to bite her lips.
Cai Wei was terrified and tried to dodge, but how could she match Saknu’s strength?
Watching him lean over, both angry and helpless, she bent her knee, and thrust it upwards forcefully.
Caught off guard due to his concentration on her face, Saknu hadn’t expected her to retaliate so forcefully. Cai Wei’s knee hit its mark, causing him to loosen his grip. His face twisted in severe pain and veins popped on his forehead.
Leaning against the statue, he slowly keeled over in agony.
Despite his great strength, there were still parts of him that were as vulnerable as any other man’s!
Seizing the opportunity when he let go, Cai Wei took off running. Saknu watched her dash off like a rabbit. Shouting to his subordinates, he called upon them.
His blue eyes blazed with flame. He swore not to let this woman go.
Upon seeing their master attacked, his subordinates took pursuit without hesitation, surrounding, chasing, blocking, and intercepting Cai Wei in order to capture her alive and earn their master’s favor.
As Cai Wei made her desperate escape, her stomach began to ache.
Now that she could no longer teleport, she was left to rely on her own martial arts skills. Although she might be able to take on them for a bit, who knows if there were any martial arts experts among the guards? If there were and she was caught, it would be disastrous.
The pursuers behind her were getting closer. Cai Wei was panting, her belly aching more and more.
But at this point, she had no choice but to bear the pain and try to run back to the banquet hall, or to any place where there were people.
