At this moment, Dong Hongyun had let go of all his dignity. The survival rule in the Shengxuan Continent was the survival of the fittest, where only the strong thrived. In the face of strength, all self-esteem and persistence held no meaning; the most important thing was to stay alive.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced calmly at Dong Hongyun. In reality, the conflict between the Qinrun Dynasty and the Wanyun Dynasty was merely a matter of grievances, and she had no personal conflicts with him. She only assumed that Dong Hongyun had shown such an attitude because he realized the significance of Mo Yunjue's identity, so she remained silent. After all, she couldn't make decisions for Mo Yunjue.
The practitioners from the Qinrun Dynasty, upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang's indifference, became extremely embarrassed. They stood still, not knowing what to do.
A struggling expression flashed across Dong Hongyun's face, but then he seemed to make a decision. He looked at Baili Hongzhuang and Mo Yunjue with bright and determined eyes.
"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. This conflict was entirely caused by me alone. If Miss Baili is unwilling to forgive, then I will bear all the consequences myself and not involve my teammates."
Dong Hongyun's gaze was resolute. In such a situation, since he couldn't be forgiven, he couldn't let his teammates suffer as well.
Seeing Dong Hongyun's attitude, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but hold him in higher regard. Making such a decision proved that Dong Hongyun was a true man.
However, it seemed that Dong Hongyun had shifted the problem onto her?
Mo Yunjue glanced at Dong Hongyun and then turned to Baili Hongzhuang. "What is your decision?"
Hearing his words, Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of confusion. "I make the decision?"
Mo Yunjue nodded slightly. "It was always your choice."
The practitioners from the Qinrun Dynasty immediately opposed Dong Hongyun's decision when they saw that he wanted to shoulder all the consequences.
"Captain, you can't do this!"
"This was the decision of our entire team. How can you take everything upon yourself?"
Dong Hongyun furrowed his brows. "Stop arguing. I said I'll take responsibility!"
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the united front presented by the practitioners from the Qinrun Dynasty and couldn't help but admire them.
Although what Dong Hongyun and his team had done before was despicable, she could still understand it. After all, people will stop at nothing for their own benefit.
"As long as you don't become our enemies in the future, I won't trouble you," Baili Hongzhuang's voice was cold. She didn't like to actively seek trouble; it was just that trouble often sought her, and she had to deal with it. Since the practitioners from the Qinrun Dynasty already regretted their actions, she didn't need to dwell on it any longer.
Dealing with an entire team from a large dynasty wouldn't be an easy task.
Baili Hongzhuang's words fell into the ears of Dong Hongyun and his team like a divine melody. Dong Hongyun had thought that he was destined to face a catastrophe, but when he suddenly heard Baili Hongzhuang's voice, he was stunned. He looked at her in disbelief, suspecting that he had misheard.
Baili Hongzhuang remained composed, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.
Regardless, this battle had indeed reduced a lot of trouble. Han Xilin was completely dealt with, and they had obtained the Spirit Herb. The harvest was truly abundant.
Moreover, from the gazes of the surrounding practitioners, she knew that many of them now harbored fear and would think twice before causing trouble in the future.
