But he was incredibly frustrated.
The loss, though minor, was a persistent thorn in his side.
What vexed him even more was that when he made indirect inquiries to the Cyan Cloud Sect through his court connections, the sect gave no clear response.
They neither confirmed nor denied anything, their stance remaining ambiguous.
