North of Belthias City, two individuals landed in front of the gate.
"M-Master," Kuo called out with a worried expression. "I'm very sorry. It's my fault."
"I'm glad you know," Master Li glared at his disciple. "Didn't I tell you that hidden dragons hide everywhere?"
"You did, Master… b-but weren't you also—"
"But what, ha?!" Master Li raised an eyebrow.
You were also underestimating them and overconfident in my abilities. We even cheated, but we still got defeated! You shouldn't only blame me; you should also blame yourself! Kuo-Pal thought but didn't dare voice it.
"Maybe, maybe if you just knew how to back off, we wouldn't have been humiliated!" Master Li said angrily.
But you also liked the idea of defeating that kid! In fact, you're the one who proposed the fight! It's just aligning with what I wanted! Kuo thought as he lowered his head in dismay.
In the end, no matter what he said or did, as long as something went wrong and he was involved, it was always his fault.
