Facing everyone's apologies, Wang Xiu's smile remained on his face as he returned their gesture with a cupped-fist salute. "My fellow Senior Brothers, you are too kind! It was my fault for not explaining things clearly in advance, which led to this misunderstanding!"
Upon hearing his words, the faces of the crowd bore even deeper shades of guilt.
Look at Wang Xiu. How understanding and articulate is he? It was clearly our fault, yet he took all the blame on himself! What a good person! Why didn't we notice this before?
Suddenly, Wang Xiu spoke again, "However, there's one thing I need to make clear to everyone in advance!"
The crowd hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, please speak freely!"
