"Enough, what are you going to do?"
"Originally, you should just hand over your share for this week. But--" Zhao Li's eyes turned cold and he pinched Junior Sister Xu's face hard, causing the latter to whimper in pain.
"Your junior sister actually tried to sneak attack me! Your junior sister is so rude, so you, your senior brother, should apologize on her behalf!"
"..." Yao Han waited silently for his next words.
"In addition to this week's share for the three of you, I want you to kneel down and crawl in front of me three times, and then bark like a dog three times! If you dare to do that, I will let you, my junior sister, live!"
"Zhao Li, you've gone too far!" Yao Han's fellow apprentice was extremely angry and rolled up his sleeves to beat him up.
"How dare you! You're the one who called our Young Master Zhao by his name!"
"Junior brother, step back."
"But……"
“Back off!”
How could the junior fellow student not understand what Yao Han meant? He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, his chest was filled with resentment and helplessness, and his clenched fists were bleeding.
"Are you serious?" Yao Han looked directly at Zhao Li with a cold expression.
"Of course." Zhao Li had a playful smile on his face, waiting to see Yao Han's good show.
"..." Yao Han took a deep breath and was about to kneel down as ordered.
But he couldn't kneel down. Although he had been appearing calm, his body was shaking slightly at this moment.
He was concerned about his junior sister's safety, but there was an invisible force hindering his actions - as if he would never be able to stand up again after kneeling.
"Senior Brother...Senior Brother Yao...Yao Han! You can't kneel!" Junior Sister Xu was already in tears, and her voice was filled with sobs.
She now regrets deeply why she was so impulsive and ended up becoming a handle in the hands of others.
"What's wrong? Can't you kneel down?" The mocking smile on Zhao Li's face became more and more ferocious.
"You still think you're the prodigy of the Tianyin Sect and can't let go of yourself? Your Tianyin Sect is long gone!"
Yao Han trembled.
"Yao Han, when you were so high and mighty, the center of attention, did you ever imagine that this day would come? Why are you the genius? You are number one, while I, Zhao Li, can only be second, living in your shadow forever!"
Zhao Li's true colors were revealed, his face was distorted, and his words were full of hatred and jealousy towards Yao Han.
"Today I'll let you taste the pain of being inferior to others! If you still refuse to kneel within three counts, I'll stab your junior sister in the face with a knife and make her unable to face the world for the rest of her life!"
"three!"
The junior brother turned his face away sadly, unable to bear to watch any longer.
"two!"
The countdown sound hit Yao Han's heart like a heavy hammer, and he felt like he was about to be crushed.
“Woo——”
When Yao Han was still struggling in despair, what he waited for was not the countdown, but the call to assemble at the quarry.
