"I have misunderstood you. Please accept my sincerest apologies," Hall Master Xing said as he bowed deeply.
Putting everything aside, if the other party truly intended to kill him, why would he have repaired his Primordial Spirit in the first place? There was no need for him to do so at all.
Furthermore, just as the other party had said, if the other party wanted to kill him, given his control over the formations, he would have just done it. There was no need for him to waste his breath.
To think that he, as the head of the Combat Master Hall, actually tried to kill a man who was earnestly doing his best to help him… A deep feeling of guilt and shame crushed down on his heart, choking him within.
Subconscious bias had influenced his train of thought, and the Trial of Inner Demons had further dulled his judgement. Otherwise, someone of his wits should have been able to figure all of that out.
