Had Zhang Ruoling acted coy and resisted in every possible way, Mei Qiuyu would indeed have struck the Bronze Dragon-Fire Bell three times without hesitation. But Zhang Ruoling, who had apparently been acting with extreme caution, suddenly said without a shred of fear: "Go ahead and strike it. Strike it if you've got the guts. I'm waiting for you to strike. If you don't strike now, you're nothing but a sissy!"
Caught completely off guard, Mei Qiuyu had not actually decided whether to strike the bell or not.
Striking it would certainly kill Chen Zhezhe, but the Guixian Sect would gain no benefits whatsoever, while pointlessly making a formidable enemy out of Zhang Ruoling. Putting on a calm facade, Mei Qiuyu looked at Zhang Ruoling and said, "Don't you care about your sect master's life anymore?"
