Xue Wei's gaze was fixed on Jiang Qi, devoid of any distractions, filled only with the hope and sincerity to resolve the issue.
However, Xue Wei's humble apology didn't cause Jiang Qi to feel grateful; instead, it rapidly inflated the pride in his heart.
Jiang Qi slightly raised his head, a hint of smugness in his eyes, as if he had long anticipated this scene from Xue Wei.
He secretly sneered to himself, believing Xue Wei had finally recognized the situation, knowing he was the one truly holding the reins.
"Hmph, I knew Xue Wei would come begging to me." Jiang Qi thought smugly to himself, his cold smile gradually transforming into pride and confidence. He lightly lifted his eyebrows, a sense of disdain and superiority emanating from his eyes.
Jiang Qi's pride instantly surfaced. He had always believed himself to be extraordinarily gifted, backed by the powerful Jiang Ancient Clan, making his strength and status peerless among his peers.
