"Indeed," Qi Hezheng and Qu Yan also spoke up, "If anyone's to blame, it would be our fault for not running away. There's no need for you to blame yourself."
Gu Fei nodded as he looked at Nan Huaijing. After hesitating for a moment, he still bowed his head and said, "Eldest Senior, I'm sorry... If it weren't for my sudden impulse to go look at that smoke column..."
"Enough, Gu Fei."
