Tang Hao's sudden appearance had been the main reason for Ye Tianxin's kidnapping, but Ye Tianxin himself still bore thirty percent of the blame.
Had he agreed to let the Heaven Dou Empire's experts guard him, he would have stood an excellent chance of escaping, given Tang Hao's injured state at the time.

Looking at the wispy crystalline residue in the lake, Ye Tianxin sighed repeatedly. "Tang Hao had bound my hands and feet. If this medicine hadn't dissolved so readily in water, you probably wouldn't have found this place."
