"I am the one who has troubled you this time. I didn't know there could be someone so powerful there. I will compensate you for your loss," Yuan Tianchen said but his look was cold.
Venerable the Blade and the others stood up in fear.
"Master Yuan, your words bring shame to us. We failed to help you this time, and to make it worse, we hindered you. You have already shown us mercy by not punishing us!"
"Ziqing is right. That girl would have never beaten you if we weren't there looking which surely distracted you, Master Yuan."
"Master Yuan, I'm the one to blame. I didn't investigate fully. That is why you underestimated your enemy. I am sorry!"
They were all in a mad rush to be the first to confess, show their regret, and claim that they should take the blame.
Venerable the Blade stared at them. They had taken away what he wanted to say before he had the chance to open his mouth.
How shameless of them!
