Chapter 154: Don't Beat Someone to Death
(Making up for a chapter from yesterday. A third chapter will be available before 5 p.m.)
Zhao Yun started cursing with 'You little bastard, acting tough in front of me,' even though the seniority of 'little bastard' and 'me' is mixed up, it's definitely an insult to someone else.
But when Li Yan slammed the table and stood up, he retorted, 'Bastard, who are you cursing?' which was a reverse insult to Zhao Yun. At this moment, not only Zhao Yun, but also Li Jie and Zhao Chengyao, weren't focused on this. When they saw Li Yan angrily getting up following Zhao Yun's words, they all assumed he was saying, 'Who are you calling a bastard?'
So, Zhao Yun, who was caught in the wordplay, followed Li Yan's words and changed what he initially wanted to say, 'I'm calling you a bastard,' to 'Bastard, I'm calling you,' which was equivalent to admitting he was the bastard.
