Gong Tianshun's eyebrows shot up. He stopped Lu Hongfei, looked at Wen Qingye, and said, "As the East Mountain Master, I am deeply sorry for this incident. This is my failure, and I bear great responsibility. I apologize to you on their behalf, and I apologize to you and your disciple on my own."
"Mountain Master!"
"Mountain Master!"
The surrounding East Mountain students, teachers, and staff all cried out, their voices filled with emotion.
Gong Tianshun was humbling himself to apologize. For *their* sake, he was actually bowing his head and admitting fault. They couldn't help but feel a surge of shame. Their own Mountain Master was apologizing to a North Mountain student because of them.
