“Yeah!”
Lu Zijia didn’t hide anything and admitted it casually.
Long Xueni, who originally felt a bit ashamed and guilty, couldn’t help feeling furious after hearing Lu Zijia’s answer. She immediately said without thinking. “You knew all along. Why didn’t you remind us? I think you did it on purpose! Maybe you’re in cahoots with them!”
Mu Tianyan’s cold face was covered with frost and his voice was bone-chilling. “You’re the one who’s incapable, so why are you blaming others?”
Meeting Mu Tianyan’s bone-chilling eyes, Long Xueni immediately felt like she was frozen by a thousand-year-old iceberg. Her face instantly turned extremely pale.
“I… I…”
Long Xueni felt the temperature of her body drop drastically, as if the temperature had instantly left her.
Hearing what her man said, Lu Zijia smiled. “Yeah, Miss Long, are you blaming me for being too outstanding? However, didn’t Miss Long say before that you’re an outstanding martial artist? Since you’re so outstanding, how could you let two mere thieves run away?
“Besides…” Lu Zijia paused and looked over, the corners of her mouth curled up in a cynical smile. “Even if we remind Miss Long, can Miss Long stop them from escaping? As far as I know, the Flying Snake Gang was caught by the international police three times, but they escaped every time. Why? Since you’ve already investigated the Flying Snake Gang, you should know about this. There are already obvious examples for you to refer to. Isn’t that the best reminder?”
As Lu Zijia asked one question after another, Long Xueni’s expression became more and more awful.
“I… I…”
Zheng Bin sighed heavily. “Master Lu is right. Even if we were reminded, we probably couldn’t hold them down.”
Zheng Bin’s words were like a slap to Long Xueni’s face, making her already pale face even paler, without a trace of color.
“Master Lu, Second Master, I’m sorry. Xueni didn’t mean that. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf. Please don’t take it to heart.” Seeing Long Xueni’s panicked look, Duan Zhicheng couldn’t help but stand up for her in the end.
Lu Zijia looked at Duan Zhicheng with a faint smile. Duan Zhicheng’s hair stood on end under her gaze, but he still didn’t retreat.
The smile on Lu Zijia’s face became even wider. “Kid, even if you stand up for her, do you think she’ll accept your kindness?”
What Lu Zijia said made Duan Zhicheng’s face stiffen, but it soon turned into a bitter smile. “I know where I stand, so I’ve never asked for anything.”
He was obviously referring to his family background, which was very different from Long Xueni.
Lu Zijia shrugged. “Alright, since you’re so infatuated and silly, we won’t argue with this outstanding Miss Long. However, remind her not to blame others for being too outstanding in the future. Otherwise, who would be willing to help her?”
Hearing what Lu Zijia called him, Duan Zhicheng couldn’t help looking a bit stunned.
However, he was secretly relieved inside.
After Lu Zijia said that, she nodded at Zheng Bin without caring about the reaction of the people present and they got into the car and left.
It was only after Lu Zijia’s car disappeared into the distance that Zheng Bin turned and looked at Long Xueni disappointedly.
“After this, I’ll ask the higher-ups to transfer you back to the training camp until you’re truly qualified.”
“Team Leader, this…” Duan Zhicheng was shocked when he heard that and subconsciously wanted to put in a good word for Long Xueni, but Zheng Bin raised his hand and interrupted him.
“Alright, I know what you want to say. Xueni is indeed talented, but because she’s too outstanding, she forgot her identity. What our Ancient Martial Arts Group needs the most isn’t geniuses or rich young ladies, but members who obey orders!”
