On the way to the palace housing Zuoqiu Heng, Hei Yi was beaten black and blue by the three in red dresses, all because he kept up his pretense in front of Pang Xuan.
"I can't be bothered to take you seriously..."
Before Hei Yi could clear his mind to utter these words, he was subjected to another round of punches, then shook his head hard, finally waking up, with a face full of confusion.
"What, what did I do before?"
"Courting death," Zuoqiu Heng sneered, "Honestly, you are the most adept at seeking death I've ever seen!"
Zuoqiu Dan also squatted down, looking at Hei Yi with a click of his tongue: "Though circumstances force you to deceive him, can't you stop pretending? Deceiving is one thing, but Pang Xuan himself just imagining a weakling like you with mere one part emperor potential acting that way in front of him, how could he spare you?"
