    “I am someone sought after by sorcerers. Aren’t you afraid they’ll hold you ountable for treating me this way? I won’t let you off easily,” Pei Yueling threatened, her toneced with menace.


    Normally astute, Pei Yueling tended to lose control under extreme circumstances, especially when she realized these individuals intended to hand her over to Gu Chaoyan.


    Previously unafraid of Gu Chaoyan, she now felt genuine fear. Just moments ago, Gu Chaoyan had nearly taken her life, and the prospect of falling into her hands was rming.


    Desperate to avoid such a fate, Pei Yueling resorted to threats.


    However, the witches, familiar with their own situation, remained unfazed by her warnings. Pei Yueling seemed unaware of theplexities within the witches’ realm. Even if they chose to release her, the sorcerers would likely impose minimal punishment. Executing such decisions was no easy task for witches, including sorcerers.<div>


    This woman assumed far too much importance, threatening them even as they contemted releasing her.


    The witches considered their options.


    Shortly, the individual returned, drawing everyone’s attention, including Gu Chaoyan’s. He conveyed, “The sorcerer wishes to personally assess the situation before making a decision.”


    The witches exchanged nces.


    Pei Yueling breathed a sigh of relief.


    If the sorcerer deemed it necessary to personally assess the situation before making a decision, Pei Yueling was likely safe. Gu Chaoyan, however, appeared contemtive.


    “Do sorcerers often prefer to see things for themselves?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.


    “She will arrive shortly,” came the response.


    Gu Chaoyan waited patiently, casting a pensive gaze.


    A heavy silence enveloped the scene.


    Pei Yueling, looking at Gu Chaoyan, expressed her confusion, “Why force me into this situation?”

    “I may have provoked you, but can’t we discuss things reasonably? Must it end in my death?”


    “What if the sorcerer disagrees? Our conflict will only escte. Do you truly wish to deepen this feud?”


    Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow slightly.


    She understood that Pei Yueling was attempting to negotiate her way out of this situation. While the sorcerer’s personal inspection seemed advantageous, there still lingered uncertainty. Gu Chaoyan considered whether it might be prudent to address certain matters before the sorcerer’s arrival.


    She grasped Pei Yueling’s intentions.


    However…


    Regrettably, Pei Yueling had crossed a line.


    “Pei Yueling, do you truly believe your hands are clean? The deeds you’vemitted warrant your life,” Gu Chaoyan asserted without specifying the details.


    Pei Yueling frowned.


    She struggled to recall any irreparable actions that might justify such severe consequences. Despite orchestrating various schemes, Pei Yueling prided herself on adhering to certain principles. While she may have masterminded crimes, she never personally took lives. In her view, she wasn’t responsible for human casualties.


    Moreover, she couldn’tprehend why Gu Chaoyan, in pursuit of her, would jeopardize rtions with the witches. The reasoning behind Gu Chaoyan’s actions remained elusive to Pei Yueling.<div>
