Fàn Jìqiū suddenly stood up, slamming his palm heavily onto the table. "Lěng Yè, you want me to kneel and apologize to you? That is utterly out of the question!" His voice was filled with anger and defiance. "I'd rather die than bow to a junior!"
Fàn Jìchūn tried to smooth things over. "Young Master Lěng, you can see for yourself that this demand is simply too much for him to accept. Perhaps a verbal apology would suffice? After all, as the head of the Fàn family, kneeling is really going too far."
People all around chimed in, voicing their opposition to the demand. "Indeed, isn't this far too harsh?" "What dignity would our Fàn family have left?" "Any other condition is up for discussion, except kneeling!"
