"I'll never let you get away with this, but you'd never let me go, either," Tantai Qing said coldly.
"Don't assume everyone is as malicious as you are. I've always been magnanimous. If you behave and apologize, what's stopping me from letting you go?"
Jiang Lan watched her with great interest, the pressure from his hand easing considerably.
Tantai Qing's expression flickered, her eyes fixed on him coldly. After a moment, she took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Young Master Jiang, I was in the wrong just now. I apologize. I hope you can be the bigger person and not hold this against me. Please forgive me this once."
'She was certain Jiang Lan couldn't do anything to me here on Immortal Ascension Island. An apology is just a few words. It's no real loss.'
"I can forgive you, but I have one condition." Jiang Lan had fully expected her to be so pragmatic.
