Guo Qinghe spoke with a tone of righteousness that came across as frank and unbiased. He appeared to display no intention whatsoever of shielding his friend.
The crowd was quiet for a few seconds, then the girl, whom Su Canye fancied, broke the silence. She laughed awkwardly and said, "Senior Brother Qinghe is rightโฆ err, yes, the opinion I made earlier did not consider this important factor."
Although the others didn't echo her thoughts, their silence was deafening.
Guo Qinghe smiled and patted Xiao Luo's shoulders, "Xiao Luo, don't blame me for not taking your side, but the kendo gym has its rules, and your daughter ran around in the training area. So, I express my most sincere apology that she was accidentally hurt, but, as you know, friends are friends, and business is business. The root cause of this incident is that you didn't look after your daughter well enough. Therefore, you have to take responsibility for that."
