Inside the camp of the Fire Nation, Haoran kept sitting on his chair inside his tent.
When he thought about the whole situation afterward, he knew that things would not end simply. Trying to kill a prince of another nation in front of a crowd, was really a serious matter. About the matter of that boy trying to kill Gao Ling, he never believes in his word. Also, there was no witness to bring that matter now.
" The best thing now is to compromise. Tch tch, this Gao Ling, I should never have agreed for him to come here from the beginning. Of all the princes and princesses, why do they assign him to me as my disciple? Alright, I will go there to compensate them instead. " the middle-aged man murmured to himself.
At the same time, inside the camp of the Tang nation, Joey told them the whole situation that happened to him related to the Fire nation's youths and also about how that goatee old man chased him up to the inner zone of the jungle.
Then everyone becomes more and more furious.
" Captain Chao, I order you to bring that old man's head here right now." Mei lien ordered angrily.
" Zi Zi, you can't do that. We are here for the cave. Also, I am not hurt at all. Moreover, we too need them to go inside too. " Joey interrupted her.
" I agree too. It will be pointless to kill him for now." Captain Chao suggested.
At that time, a man came inside and reported," Reporting General, Haoran is currently outside our camp. He just requested a meeting with you."
" Alright, bring him here." Tang Mie lien replied. She had already calmed down.
A few minutes later, the guard brought along a middle-aged man inside the tent.
" Everyone out!" Captain Chao announced.
Then, everyone dispersed from the room. Only Mie lien, Yang Chao, Joey, and Haoran remain inside the room.
"I, Haoran, officially apologize to the fifth prince. And things like that will never happen again." he bowed at Joey slightly.
Seeing a nascent soul realm expert apologizing to a Hentian realm kid, everyone inside was amazed. Joey never thought the thing would turn out this way.
" Senior, please don't," Joey replied.
" Senior Haoran, you can't avoid this matter with just your apology." Tang Mie lien stated coldly.
" I know. Why don't we finish this matter with some compensation from us." Haoran added.
Before they speak out their disagreement, Joey quickly responded," Okay, I agree. But, that old fart should come here and apologize to me directly right now. "
Haoran nodded to him. Then, he brings out a communication talisman and burns it to ash.
" Done. He will be here shortly."
Then Haoran quickly brings out three things from inside his space ring and places them on the table nearby. On the table, 1000-year-old blood ginseng, an LVL 5 beast core, and a scroll of fire skills lie there.
"These are the best things that I have right now. You can choose one of them as our sincere apology," he added.
" Why don't you just take out that essence fire of the lotus core? I know you have that essence of fire."Captain Chao emphasized with a smirk on his face.
Haoran frowns slightly and brings out a bottle and keeps it on the table. Inside the bottle, a white color core lies with a lotus-shaped flame around it.
" Hey, kiddo. Just take this one. Others are pieces of shit compared to this one." Captain Chao insisted on Joey.
" Senior, I will take this one." Joey took the bottle and kept it on his space ring.
Haoran picked up the other things on the table and put them all inside his space. His facial expression didn't show a bit of his gloomy emotion in his mind.
" General, Elder Fan is here." a guard reported from outside the tent.
" Bring him in." Tang Mie lien replied coldly.
Elder Fan entered the room. Then, he stood beside Haoran.
" Elder Fan, you need to make an apology to the 5th prince," Haoran told him directly without explaining anything.
" No, I can't do that. Senior Haoran, I can give up my life for my country. But, to make an apology to a brat like him, it's better to die than humiliate me here.`` The elder Fan complained righteously.
The already gloomy Haoran becomes enraged. Then, he used his aura and pressed Fan onto the ground heavily. He forcefully makes kowtow motions toward Joey. The sound of his head knocking on the floor echoed in the room.
" Trying to kill a junior in front of everyone in broad daylight. Even I apologize personally to them on your behalf. You damn old fart, trying to be all righteous but rotten to your core. I am asking you just for an apology. Also, if you keep away from trouble, you can keep your humility. But, trouble comes all around you and escalates even to the point of bringing war. Now, you said that you can sacrifice for our nation, then you better kowtow to them for your nation." Haoran retorted with annoyance.
Everyone inside the room becomes awe of Haoran's attitude. Even, the extremely angry Mie lien becomes more pleased.
" Enough, Senior Haoran. I just want an apology, not to humiliate elder Fan like this. Things about that matter are already settled. Why don't we finish this farce with a drink? " Joey suggested.
" Hear that Fan. See how generous the 5th prince is? Go back to the palace and reflect on your actions today." Haoran told him.
Elder Fan kept looking down and left the room quickly without saying a word.
Afterward, a big round table was arranged with various dishes along with wine on it.
"Senior Haoran, please have a seat." Joey politely gestures his hand toward a chair. Haoran smiles and sits on the chair.
" Let's forget about everything that has happened before. And enjoy yourself. Cheers everyone." Joey tossed a glass of wine to everyone.
Then, they started continuing the party while chatting among them, and Haoran quickly understands what kind of character Joey really was.
He thought," This kid is so easy to get along with. Can even cope up with any situation calmly. Also, he could even easily dodge the serious attack of a late-stage semi-nascent realm expert with just his lvl 1 Houtian. Everyone knew him as a trash prince. But, I have yet to meet anyone with such an attitude. If only Gao Ling could have just 1% of his attitude, tch tch."
