Wang Wei closed the book in his hand when he detected Xu Shi's arrival. He glanced at her and said, "I'm guessing by the reservation in your step that things did not go well?"
"Sadly, no," replied Xu Shi before explaining the situation. "I would also like to apologize for releasing them and giving them a fighting chance."
"It's fine," replied Wang Wei. There was nothing wrong with Xu Shi feeling indebted to these people and doing an act of kindness for her peace of mind and to repay her karma.
"So, what's next? Are you going to subdue them?"
"No, I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary," replied Wang Wei. His existence offset the balance of the entire lower dimension. So, if he wants to stay in the lower dimension long enough to reach the Empyrean Realm, he needs to act as little as possible to not get on True Heavenly Dao's nerves and get exiled to the upper dimension.
