Afterward, the room fell into a prolonged silence.
Yi Huai knelt there, not even daring to breathe too loudly. He was waiting, waiting for the final verdict, waiting for this woman's judgment on him.
He had no idea how much time had passed, but Yi Huai's back was already soaked through, his body ice cold, and his legs seemed to have stiffened from kneeling.
"Yi Huai, although you're pretty useless as a person, you certainly have some nerve! Are you presuming to guess what I'm thinking? How many lives do you think you have?"
Yi Huai hunched over even more, his voice trembling as he spoke, "My lord, even if I had the audacity, I would never dare to speculate on your thoughts!"
By this time, he couldn't help but begin to shiver uncontrollably. He didn't know if he had angered the woman before him. If she really wanted to kill him, it would be an effortless task.
Another long while passed before the woman spoke again, "You have great nerve, indeed, but you're also a clever one."
