After Chen Ling finished recounting the events, a heavy silence settled in the room. Huang Ling's face remained impassive, maintaining the same cold and stoic expression he had worn throughout the explanation. The room seemed to hold its breath, waiting for Huang Ling's response.
After a moment, Huang Ling let out a sigh and scratched the back of his head, displaying a hint of embarrassment. "Ah, it seems my younger brother has caused you some trouble, Old Chen."
Chen Ling blinked in disbelief, struggling to process the unexpected words. "Uh, I'm sorry?"
"You see, my younger brother is quite headstrong. He always gives his all, whether it's in pill refining or cultivation. So, I'm not entirely surprised that he would go all out even in a simple spar," Huang Ling explained, his tone carrying a touch of apology.
