Mei Hongli stumbled back, his face pale with dread. "You!!"
Feng Luotian and Sun Wuji were the last people Mei Hongli wanted to face. After his humiliation in the exam, he had hoped to slip away unnoticed. Now they had cornered him, and his legs weakened under their stares. He struggled to draw a steady breath as he looked from one to the other, his hope of escape fading.
"Y-Y-You two, why are you blocking the way? J-Just state your business!" Mei Hongli stammered. He tried to keep his face still, feigning ignorance even though he knew exactly why Feng Luotian and Sun Wuji had approached him. His eyes darted toward any possible exit, but his feet remained glued to the spot.
Feng Luotian shook his head, his tone calm but firm. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about the bet. You reminded me of it multiple times before and during the exam. Unlike you, I remember it perfectly. Or are you planning to run away from your own words?"
