"What do you mean?!" Ao Tian glanced at his elder brother, who could die at any moment, then glared at Fang Yun.
"When you've done wrong, you should admit it. Do the Dragon Race's youngsters no longer understand even the basic principles of being a dragon?" Fang Yun asked.
Lei Konghe said, "Void Sage Fang, you're being far too petty."
"Yes, I'm too petty, so you should be magnanimous. Will the head of the Lei Family apologize as well, to demonstrate your family's generosity of spirit?" Fang Yun smiled, but his grip on the Starfire Armillary Mirror never loosened.
Before Lei Konghe could argue, Ao Tian immediately said, "We were wrong! Please, Literary Star Dragon Noble, spare my elder brother!"
With that, Ao Tian lowered his head.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Lei Konghe's face, but he said nothing more.
The onlooking Emperor Realm experts already understood that Fang Yun had won this round. Ao Tian's admission was a minor matter in itself, but it amounted to denying the legitimacy of their own attempt to arrest Fang Yun. Unless any subsequent decree bore the Seven Dragon Seal and had the approval of a Dragon Emperor's Battle Soul, they could no longer make trouble for him.
"There is no greater good than recognizing a fault and correcting it. Take your elder brother for treatment."
Fang Yun put away the Starfire Armillary Mirror and flew toward Candle Dragon City with his six teammates.
Lei Konghe stood to one side, watching Fang Yun leave at his leisure.
Emperor Xiangyi followed close behind Fang Yun and said with a laugh, "Fang Yun, you're pretty impressive. With just a few words, you had them running in circles. Looks like the Human Race really is the most wicked... ahem, the shrewdest race in the Myriad Worlds."
