Zhao Kai felt like his mouth was coughing up blood because of Fiona's comment.
How could one even call that a compliment?
Saying that he kept his ability well, but his overall behaviorism needed work was akin to saying he was not good enough.
'Is Feng trying to help me or put more salt in my wounds?' Zhao Kai wondered silently, feeling like he was still getting toyed.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng merely faked a cough, clearly not expecting such a frank comment from Fiona either. 'Though she's not wrong and is quite on point. As expected of an experienced blacksmith.'
Despite having such a thought, Xu Feng still acted humble and defended Zhao Kai.
"Shadow Blade rarely interacts much with people of your prowess. So he tends to be nervous, Fiona. Please forgive my companion's unsightly display of behavior in your presence," he apologized on behalf of Zhao Kai.
