The main hall of the Seven Kill Pavilion, with its maple leaf red as the main color, has a unique charm.
The main hall has a few small staircases, at the top of which sits a throne made of pure gold.
The throne is carved with a lifelike sunset and maple leaves, which shimmer with a faint golden light.
At this moment, a devilishly handsome man dressed in maple-red robes was lazily reclining on the throne.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, and his face was obscured by a black mask.
But just by looking at the outline of his face outside the mask, one can tell that this person is extremely handsome. He is the master of the Seven Kill Pavilion: Beitang Feng.
At this moment, he was half-closing his eyes, looking at a woman kneeling before the prince. The woman had been kneeling for quite some time.
But Beitang Feng remained silent, and she dared not utter a single word first, so she could only continue kneeling in silence.
In the main hall, only the faint sound of Beitang Feng tapping on the golden throne could be heard, and the woman kneeling on the ground felt increasingly fearful and uneasy with each tap.
"I heard that you, Master Ling, took on a job to assassinate a prince. I wonder how much the client offered?"
Ling Yue's heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip, trying to steady her trembling heart. "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, one thousand taels of gold."
"Oh? Two princes are worth a mere thousand taels of gold? How come I know nothing about this? Since when?"
"Even the Seven Killings Pavilion's orders have become so cheap! When did the lives of the three hundred-plus guards of the Ling Hall become so worthless?!"
Upon hearing this, Lingyue's carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly, and she repeatedly banged her head against the cold, hard floor.
"Your subordinate deserves to die, your subordinate deserves to die! Your subordinate shouldn't have rashly sent your men to assassinate Prince Ji before fully understanding his abilities!"
"You caused my Seven Kill Pavilion to lose more than three hundred secret guards. Your subordinates deserve to die."
Blood was already seeping from her forehead, but Lingyue dared not stop kowtowing.
Beitang Feng's eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint, his tone ambiguous, as if he were speaking casually.
"Anything else?"
Ling Yue's heart trembled violently, but she still clenched her teeth tightly, simply kowtowing without uttering a sound.
Beitang Feng laughed, his laughter quite pleasant. "It seems that Hall Master Ling is not planning to tell the truth. It seems that the bond I built with you back then, from saving you to nurturing you to this day..."
Even in Master Ling's heart, nothing compares to the Second Prince's sweet words to you. Master Ling and the Second Prince, truly, their bond is stronger than gold.
Upon hearing this, Lingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, completely collapsed to the ground. After a long while, she knelt down again.
"Your subordinate is ashamed before the Seven Kill Pavilion, ashamed before those three hundred secret guards, and ashamed before the Pavilion Master. I know I deserve to die a thousand deaths and I submit to the Pavilion Master's punishment."
She recalled how her family had fallen on hard times, and she had been reduced to scavenging for food with stray dogs in a garbage dump. It was the Pavilion Master who rescued her and brought her back to Seven Killings.
He had acted impulsively and done something so shameful to Qi Sha. Even though he was filled with remorse, it was all in vain. Now he could only ask for death to atone for his sins.
Beitang Feng stared at Ling Yue kneeling on the ground for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"From this day forward, you are no longer a member of my Seven Kill Pavilion. You may leave."
Lingyue suddenly looked up in disbelief at the high seat, only to find it empty, with no trace of that crimson figure.
My eyes stung, and hot tears dripped onto the cold floor.
Finally, she kowtowed three times heavily towards the direction of the high position before turning and leaving.
