The sudden slap interrupted the incessant chatter of Li Cang, leaving a faint handprint on his jaw.
This slap, Yun You used almost all her strength.
If it had landed on an ordinary person's head, it might have sent their skull flying, but unfortunately, Li Cang was a genuine Apprentice Death God, with skin thicker than steel. The slap merely left a mark.
Nevertheless, the insult of this slap was significant, even rendering Li Cang bewildered.
He initially thought his scheme would create some rift between the mentor and the apprentice.
But he never expected Yun You to react this way, slapping him, an experienced Apprentice Death God, for a mentor she had just met.
He certainly couldn't understand the girl's thoughts.
To Yun You, Old Jin was an old friend, both a mentor and a guardian.
Could what Li Cang said, about "Old Jin sabotaging his apprentice," be true? Perhaps it could be, but for Yun You, it didn't matter.
