Nangong Yao was mired in self-blame, saying, "Only Ma Zi appeared at the west side, I gave up on the west and directly headed south, the local thugs and Yang Zuotai definitely took their people and escaped from the south side. We could have caught up with them if only I hadn't been solely focused on capturing Ma Zi first before rushing over. Regrettably, I was wrong."
"You weren't wrong, you simply didn't anticipate that Immortal City Sect would suddenly have so many more people," Ye Chen said after finding out how the local thugs had deceived everyone through his inquiries.
"Exactly, if I had known they suddenly had that many more people, I would never have been so careless. I was too confident, thinking that even if Immortal City Sect's people showed up, my junior brother could handle them," Nangong Yao replied.
"Don't feel too down about it."
