When Wang Anfeng uttered these words, it seemed as if the entire world had fallen silent in an instant.
Eyes turned to rest on the Fire Refining Sect elder's face.
His expression flashed with rage as he bellowed,
"What do you mean by this?!"
Wang Anfeng's demeanor remained calm, not aggressive, but he simply said in a light voice,
"Just curious."
"How Wei Qi could die under the protection of a Sixth Rank expert."
"And how an assailant could kill Wei Qi under the protection of a Sixth Rank expert without leaving a single injury on you, Senior."
"Could it be that you fled out of fear of battle?"
Murmurs and whispers rose around them, creating a noisy backdrop.
The elder's face turned a shade redder, and finally, grinding his teeth, he said roughly,
"I recently acquired some superb materials and have been forging weapons in the Weapon Forging Room every day."
"So until the hour of Chen today, I had not been by the Young Master's side."
"This is my negligence."
