"Yang Yu, please don't be angry. After this incident, Iyas has learned her lesson and she certainly won't act recklessly in the future. Let's forgive her this time."
Wiping the bloodstain from his sword and putting the sword away expressionlessly, Yang Yu said just four words,
"Never again."
Having said that, Yang Yu started walking.
