Apology

At the Yang Family's martial arts training ground, Shu Huaigang, Liu Shuyao, and others supported each other and sat back to back in a circle.

Although the ropes binding his hands and feet were removed, his Spiritual Power was still sealed, and he could not use any internal force.

Everyone took out their healing medicine and swallowed it, which then slowly dissolved, trying to heal as many of their injuries as possible.

Now, they have fallen into the hands of this evil force and are like lambs to the slaughter. Their only hope lies with the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder.

We hope they can discover the situation in time and come to their rescue.

And the middle-aged man from before was also the reason they were rescued.

I don't know why this person stopped these wicked servants from beating them.

Perhaps there are circumstances they are unaware of.

"Senior Sister Liu, will we be in trouble?"

A male disciple with a slightly immature appearance looked at Liu Shuyao and Wen Dao with difficulty.

His mouth was broken, and speaking aggravated the injury, causing him pain.

"This..."

"They should be fine. At most, they'll torture us to vent their anger, but they won't dare to actually harm our lives."

After all, we have a special status.

Moreover, judging from the reaction of that uncle earlier, it seems they should be somewhat wary! Liu Shuyao made a wise analysis.

The other disciples secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Liu Shuyao's words.

Getting beaten up and suffering some injuries is nothing to them, since they often get injured when fighting monsters.

Just consider this a trial, being caught by beasts. As long as I don't lose my life, that's all that matters.

At this moment, they felt aggrieved and angry. They felt it was really too much to be bullied like this for no reason.

Many people secretly hoped that Hua Qiang and the Sect Master Huo Cangliang would arrive in time to rescue them, and preferably, that they would be able to thoroughly torture these people.

Is it human to bully them by relying on our power?

Tap tap tap!

A series of footsteps approached from afar. The middle-aged man who had previously stopped the group of thugs from committing violence and then left was leading a few people toward them.

This includes Yang Jingzhong.

Seeing this group of people, all the disciples became nervous.

What are these people trying to do?

They especially hated that despicable culprit.

Yang Bukeng a deep breath and slowly headed towards the direction where the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly carrying an invisible pressure, and the dust on the ground was slightly raised under his feet.

When he approached the Azure Cloud Sect disciple, he slightly raised his head, revealing an extremely sincere expression on his face.

The apology in his eyes seemed to emanate from the depths of his heart.

"Um, I'm really sorry."

Yang Bukeng speak, his voice low and shrill, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet atmosphere.

"There has been a misunderstanding between our Yang Family and you. We hope you won't take it too seriously."

We will compensate you afterwards.

On behalf of the Yang Family, I sincerely apologize for the harm you have suffered.

After speaking, Yang Bukeng bent down slightly and gave a standard bow. His movements were very proper and his posture was very proper, without the slightest perfunctoriness.

This sudden scene stunned the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect; their faces were filled with surprise and disbelief.

To everyone's surprise, the Yang Family, who had been so malicious and aggressive before, were now so sincere in apologizing to them.

Everyone looked at Yang Bukeng, and saw that he exuded a restrained yet powerful aura, an aura that only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation could possess, making people guess that his status in the Yang Family must be quite high.

"Oh, right, this person is Third Uncle. I heard that demon call him that before," a disciple whispered.

Yang Bukeng to turn around and reached out to pull Yang Buxiu, who was standing not far away, towards him.

Yang Buxiu looked slightly embarrassed, but still cooperated and took a few steps forward.

Yang Bukeng apologized to Liu Shuyao and the other Azure Cloud Sect disciples again, saying, "This is our Yang Family head. He was very saddened to learn that you have suffered unfair treatment."

I have come here specifically to visit you in person and to express my sincerest apologies.

Afterwards, we will provide you with Healing Pill and compensate you with some cultivation resources.

I hope everyone will let bygones be bygones and consider it a small misunderstanding.

Cough cough!

Yang Buxiu coughed twice, looked at the Azure Cloud Sect disciples in front of him, and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoists of the Azure Cloud Sect, I deeply regret this misunderstanding."

As the head of the family, it is my dereliction of duty to fail in managing the disciples of my Lineage.

I feel truly guilty about what you have suffered.

Since you made a mistake, you should accept the punishment.

Afterwards, I will provide you with a batch of supplies as compensation. Let's end this here, and I hope our two families can reconcile.

Yang Jingzhong to the side, looked extremely pale, even somewhat distorted.

He gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger and resentment. "Damn it, how did this great situation become so terrible because of Uncle San's meddling?"

He thought he could gain the upper hand in this conflict with the Azure Cloud Sect, but he didn't expect that his third uncle and father would suddenly come to apologize and even offer compensation.

"And now, I have no choice but to bow my head and apologize. This is the first time in all these years that I've encountered such a frustrating situation," Yang Jingzhong.

However, under the sharp gazes of his father and third uncle, Yang Jingzhong could only grit his teeth and reluctantly take a few steps forward.

He bowed slightly and said to the group of the Azure Cloud Sect members, "I... I'm sorry, I was too impulsive before. I hope you can forgive me."

His voice carried a hint of helplessness and reluctance, yet he dared not disobey in the slightest.

This whole ordeal made the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect feel as if they were in a dream, as if everything was so unreal.

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and surprise.

What seemed like a dead end turned into a reversal when the Yang Family actually apologized and offered compensation.

Liu Shuyao frowned slightly, glanced at Yang Bukeng and Yang Buxiu, then at Yang Jingzhong looked aggrieved, and pondered to herself, "What exactly is going on with the Yang Family? Could they have some other purpose?"

Regardless, this unexpected apology eased the tense atmosphere considerably and gradually calmed the anxieties of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples.

Hua Qiang was naturally unaware of this, and at this moment, ten mountain-sized monsters exuding a dangerous aura appeared before him.
