"This sword is our apology gift to Teacher Qin. I heard that Teacher Qin's original sword broke in a past battle, so I found one in my father's armory last night. Please accept it, Teacher Qin."
"This is a unique surviving set of ancient books, eighteen volumes in all, recording various strange tales and anecdotes. It is said to be thousands of years old. We present it to Teacher Li Chenglong as a token of our sincere apologies."
Ge Yuanhang bowed again. "We're sorry."
Qin Fangyang frowned. "Having that attitude is enough. Take these gifts back!"
"Wrongdoing deserves punishment, and an apology deserves sincerity. Our only fear is that these humble tokens aren't enough to make amends. How could we take them back?" Ge Yuanhang said. "We'll take our leave."
Zuo Xiaoduo scratched his ears and cheeks off to the side.
Damn it, they had to specifically point it out with every single item: except Zuo Xiaoduo...
Just how much do they hate me?!
Ten thousand Star Coins each?! A Star Power Pill each? Isn't this a little too much sincerity for an apology?!
So much lovely money...
And none of it is mine!
Boohoohoo...
Qin Fangyang stood at the lectern, lost in thought for a long while. Just as Ge Yuanhang and the others were about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Ge Yuanhang, I don't know much about you, but I'm confident my eyes aren't blind. Given your character and the way you conduct yourself, you should have stopped yesterday morning's incident the moment it began. It certainly shouldn't have escalated to such a degree!"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ge Yuanhang's face. He stopped and turned around. "Thank you for your generous praise, Teacher Qin. Actually, all of us also found everything that happened yesterday very strange."
