Lei Zhanqian left the Seven Stars Valley with apparent pride yet cautionary steps. With Tian Anping present, it was inevitable that his face could not be recovered.
In fact, when Li Fengyao made his stance clear that he would certainly support Jiang Wang, the gains and losses of provoking a fight had already needed to be reevaluated.
With Tian Anping stepping in and respecting the standards of the Seven Stars Valley, this incident was not a disgrace; it was understandable to everyone. After all, compared to Tian Anping, he was the one respecting the "bigger picture."
But in the end, these were merely self-consolations; he was still not strong enough.
If he could have withstood Jiang Wang's sword, there would have been no opportunity for mockery. If he were stronger than Tian Anping, he would not have left in such a disgraced manner.
He was already very strong, but it was still far from enough.
