Chapter 1007 Apologize to this girl!
"How disgraceful it is to fight wantonly in the market!" Xu Jiugong looked at Deng Dongxuan and scolded.
At this time, the arrogance on Deng Dongxuan's face had long disappeared.
There was obvious fear in her eyes and her body trembled. It was obvious that she was afraid of Xu Jiugong.
Xu Jiugong's gaze slowly swept across Deng Dongxuan, and finally stopped on Su Chenyin.
"No matter what kind of grudges you have, you shouldn't fight in this market."
"This is a place for everyone to trade. If everyone is like you, what will happen?"
His voice was low but powerful, echoing over the market.
Su Chenyin suddenly had an idea and explained sincerely, "Senior, this matter is actually them forcibly intervening in my transaction."
“…They not only abused me, but also started beating me. I was really forced to fight back in self-defense.”
Su Chenyin spoke calmly and briefly recounted what had happened.
After listening to Su Chenyin's words, Xu Jiugong nodded, indicating that he had understood the situation.
He turned to look at Deng Dongxuan and asked, "Second Miss Deng, is what she said true?"
Deng Dongxuan bit her lip. Although she felt a little unwilling, she didn't dare to lie easily.
After all, she knew very well that since Xu Jiugong dared to come here to stop her, he must have understood the whole story in secret.
"Yes...she was the one who tried to snatch things from me first." Deng Dongxuan was unwilling to admit the fact and tried to argue.
Her voice was obviously much softer than before, and she sounded guilty, completely lacking the arrogance and domineering tone she had before.
Xu Jiugong frowned and said in a cold tone: "I saw everything that happened. I know exactly who started it."
"In this market, buying and selling is free, and the rule is first come first served. Second Miss Deng, as a member of the Deng family, you should understand this principle better."
"But you are making trouble so recklessly in this market today. Do you really regard this market as your backyard? Or do you think this is a place where you can throw tantrums and act unreasonably?"
"This Chaoyang Market belongs to my Blue Holy Temple. It is a place for practitioners from all walks of life to trade. Everyone is equal before the rules. Even your Deng family cannot destroy it at will."
Xu Jiugong's words hit Deng Dongxuan's heart hard, making her face instantly uglier.
Of course, she knew the importance of this market. It was a place where practitioners from all walks of life conducted transactions. The rules were strict and did not allow for any negligence.
And what she did today was undoubtedly a blatant provocation of these rules.
She also knew that she could no longer act recklessly in front of Mr. Xu Jiu.
Otherwise, it will not only make yourself more embarrassed, but may also bring unnecessary trouble to the family.
"Yes... they were the first..."
"I saw it with my own eyes. You were the one who snatched it first." Xu Jiugong interrupted her sophistry, his voice gradually becoming colder.
"Second Miss Deng, I remember that three years ago your eldest sister caused trouble at the market and was punished by being grounded for half a year. It seems that the family education of the head of the Deng family is getting worse with each generation."
Deng Dongxuan's face turned pale and blue, and the hand holding the whip trembled slightly.
She could ignore ordinary monks and ordinary Blue Temple deacons, but she didn't dare to disrespect Xu Jiugong, who was in charge of the thirty-six Chaoyang markets in Tianyuan Realm.
"Senior Xu Jiugong taught me that I was indeed impulsive today, which is why I did such a ridiculous thing. I hope you will forgive me this time."
Deng Dongxuan was unwilling, but she had to ask Xu Jiugong to show leniency and spare her this time.
Xu Jiugong said in a deep voice: "Considering that this is your first offense and your attitude of admitting your mistakes is acceptable, if it were not for the Deng family, you would be severely punished for what happened today."
"Apologize, apologize to this girl, and then leave." Xu Jiugong became stern.
Deng Dongxuan's chest heaved violently, and the hatred in her eyes almost became tangible.
I know that if I don't compromise today, it will be difficult to resolve the issue.
She gritted her teeth, feeling aggrieved. She didn't expect that Xu Jiugong would still not give in.
However, she also knew that she could not disobey the old man's orders, after all, the other party's identity and status were there.
So, she turned to Su Chenyin reluctantly and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth:
"You are awesome. I admit defeat today. Humph, I'm sorry, okay?"
Her apology was insincere, and her tone was still full of arrogance and disdain towards Su Chenyin.
Su Chenyin's anger had not yet completely subsided after hearing Deng Dongxuan's extremely insincere apology.
She gently stroked the non-existent wrinkles on her cuffs, as if smiling: "Haha... Miss Deng Er, are you mute?"
"You apologized so quietly that I couldn't hear you. Or was it because the wind was too strong? I didn't hear you clearly."
Su Chenyin had a smile on his face and stared straight at Deng Dongxuan.
Hearing Su Chenyin's words, his face, which was already flushed with anger, instantly became even redder.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her lips trembled as she spat out a few words: "You...bitch!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Jiugong frowned even deeper, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and majesty.
He took a step forward, and the spiritual energy emanating from his body caused the air around him to stagnate.
Xu Jiugong looked at Deng Dongxuan and said in a low voice: "Second Miss Deng, I can't hear your apology either."
"You were so rude and rude in the market today, and you made a mistake. Since you made a mistake, you should sincerely repent. Now, speak louder and apologize to this girl!"
Xu Jiugong's voice carried an invisible pressure that made Deng Dongxuan take a step back.
At this moment, the market was silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Deng Dongxuan, as if waiting for her reaction.
Deng Dongxuan clenched her teeth tightly, her heart filled with humiliation and unwillingness.
She looked at Xu Jiugong and knew that if she didn't do as he asked today, things would get out of hand.
"Hu~" She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
Under the gaze of Xu Jiugong, she had to raise her voice: "Sorry!"
Although these three words were spoken loudly enough, they were clearly accompanied by a strong sense of reluctance.
There was a flash of resentment in her eyes, which was the hatred towards Su Chenyin and dissatisfaction towards Xu Jiugong.
She secretly swore that she would make Su Chenyin pay for the humiliation she suffered today.
When Su Chenyin heard Deng Dongxuan's reluctant apology, the anger in her heart eased a little.
Although she was dissatisfied with Deng Dongxuan's attitude, she didn't want to continue to argue with him.
She nodded slightly and said generously: "Forget it, for the sake of senior, this matter will end here. But if you bully others like this again in the future, I, Su Chenyin, will never be easy to mess with."
"You..." Deng Dongxuan's face was distorted with anger. She was about to curse Su Chenyin, but was stopped by a look from Xu Jiugong.
Su Chenyin couldn't help but sneer when she saw Deng Dongxuan's deflated look.
She turned to Xu Jiugong, bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you for upholding justice today."
