"But how can I trust that you will keep your word?"
"That's easy, I swear."
Yu Shi Qie casually raised her hand and said, "As long as you are willing to kneel down and beg me, I will tell you how to cure your Red Flower Disease. If I break my promise, may I be struck by lightning. How about it?"
"Can."
Seeing that the oath to Heaven had been established, Jun Yunbu did not hesitate any longer. He took a deep look at Jun Feijue, then lifted his robe and knelt down.
"uncle!"
The sound of knees hitting the ground reached everyone's ears, instantly stunning them all.
A man's knees are worth their weight in gold, and besides, Jun Yunbu's status in the entire empire is now far beyond what it used to be. This kneeling could not have been done without immense determination!
"father…"
Seeing this, Jun Feijue's previously lifeless eyes finally regained some light, and he reached out to pull Jun Yunbu back, "No... I won't kneel..."
Don't kneel...
Father, don't kneel before her... don't kneel...
"Xiao Jue, it's alright."
Jun Yunbu held Jun Feijue's slender hand tightly, "You are the person I owe the most in my life. As long as I can save you, kneeling down is nothing."
"father…"
"And what about you?"
Yu Shiqie found Jun Yunbu's reaction extremely offensive, and her anger intensified. She turned to Shen Shi and angrily asked, "Aren't you going to kneel?"
She wanted Jun Feijue to be sad and in pain; she didn't want this tender scene!
"mother…"
As expected, Jun Feijue immediately gripped Shen's chest tightly, his left eye filled with pleading rejection.
Seeing her daughter's condition, Madam Shen didn't want to kneel down and beg the rain master's concubine, because she now truly hated this woman who had hurt her precious daughter so badly.
However, when she saw the rose slowly blooming on Jun Feijue's right eye, she had no choice but to swallow all her resentment.
"Little Jue, it's just kneeling down, beg her if you want."
Holding Jun Feijue's hand, Madam Shen said with tears in her eyes, "As long as it can save you, I would give my life for it."
"Mother...no...don't..."
Jun Feijue kept shaking his head, his hoarse and weak voice sounding so feeble.
"Please, save my daughter."
Madam Shen smiled slightly at Jun Feijue, then calmly knelt down before Yu Shiqie.
She appeared very calm; in her eyes, nothing could compare to her daughter's safety.
"Splash..."
But it was at this moment that the rose in Jun Feijue's eyes suddenly bloomed in full glory.
Its bright red color, instead of the sweet fragrance of flowers, carries a pungent smell as if it were rotting vegetation.
"How could this happen, Little Jue!"
Upon seeing this, Madam Shen panicked. Trembling, she hugged Jun Feijue and shouted at Yu Shiqie, "We have already knelt before you, why don't you save my daughter!"
Having known Shen for so many years, Jun Yunbu had never seen her speak in such a loud tone.
"What I just said was that I would tell you how to cure the Red Flower Disease, but I didn't say that I would save her personally. Of course, I won't go back on my word."
Yu Shiqie was finally satisfied with Jun Feijue's symptoms, but a bright smile appeared on her face. "The Red Flower Disease has no cure. The only way to break it is to gain the hatred of the one you love."
"The hatred of...the one I love..."
The people who had been hoping for this were all stunned when they heard these words.
