Upon seeing the Patriarch, Feng Tianyu immediately found his backbone and was no longer panicked. He hastily recounted recent events without embellishment, with the sole exception of emphasizing Yu Xian's arrogant tone.
Especially when it came to the words "mere Demon Emperor," he pronounced each syllable with extra weight.
However, he hadn't expected that his family's Patriarch would suddenly hold his breath and then speak to Yu Xian with notable politeness:
"I am Feng Liang, the ancestor of the Feng Tribe, and a descendant of the True Spirit Fire Phoenix bloodline. It was not my intention to startle you into showing yourself, and for that, I truly apologize."
"This might be a misunderstanding. Once I have looked into it thoroughly, I will be sure to give you a satisfactory explanation."
There's no need to be obstinately wrongheaded when you have offended someone.
Being stubborn can get somebody killed.
