This slightly befuddled short half-exclamation reached Hong Yue's and Fen Baihu's ears as they stopped at a small canyon for a short rest.

"...un~believable… to think not one of them had any signs of being a remotely suitable target…", Wu Long muttered with what seemed like incredulousness.
He then felt a gaze of crimson eyes from the side, and turning there saw a blatant stare, "Mm? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No… I was just wondering if you regret your confidence from back then or not…", Hong Yue said in a completely flat tone, leaving him speechless.
