    Unfortunately, Zhao Yunxiao had yet to think of a way to appease this senior martial brother of his, so he was feeling rather nervous as he knocked on the door.


    “Come in.”


    Zhao Yunxiao took a deep breath, put on as regretful an expression as he could possibly muster, and gently pushed the door open.


    “Senior Martial Brother Hu,” Zhao Yunxiao greeted with a faint smile.


    Hu Nan was initially standing with his back facing the door, but slowly turned around to look at Zhao Yunxiao once he entered.


    His expression was stern.


    “Regarding last night, I am truly sorry for what I did!” Zhao Yunxiao immediately took a deep bow. “What Senior Martial Brother Hu said earlier is right. What I did is indeed unacceptable! I am willing to accept any punishment!”


    Since he did not have a way to explain his way out of the situation, this was the only feasible option he could think of – to apologise and blame himself for everything before Hu Nan needed to do so.


    This way, he wanted to remove the need for Hu Nan to list down his mistakes, thereby reducing the possibility of Hu Nan getting reminded and angered by what he did all over again.


    Huu-!


    Hu Nan let out a helpless sigh as he looked at Zhao Yunxiao who was remaining in a deep bow. “Rise.”

    “That’s good to hear,” Hu Nan said while patting Zhao Yunxiao on the shoulder. “It is good that you understand your mistake. Make sure you don’t do that again.”


    “I definitely won’t do that again, Senior Martial Brother Hu,” Zhao Yunxiao replied seriously.


    “It’s good as long as you understand,” Hu Nan nodded. “You may leave now. Have a good rest, and I will see you later before the banquet.”


    “Hmm?” Zhao Yunxiao could not help but feel surprised. “Is that it?”


    “What is it?” Hu Nan chuckled. “Are you expecting to receive a harsh scolding?”


    Zhao Yunxiao felt like he had been completely seen through, but he naturally would not admit that.


    “Senior Martial Brother Hu is truly as kind as the immortals!” Zhao Yunxiao hurriedly praised. “Since Senior Martial Brother Hu has already said so, I shall take my leave now. See you later for the banquet!”


    With that, Zhao Yunxiao immediately stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him, not wanting to give Hu Nan time to renege on his words.


    Looking at the closed door, Hu Nan shook his head with a smile.


    Talking about luck, it was a good thing that he had not lost his fortune to Cha last night. Otherwise, perhaps there was no way that something this good would happen to him.


    When Cha show up again later that night, he had to make sure not to be tempted into betting his fortune again, no matter what Cha was putting on the line.


    No, that’s not right.


    Why was he already assuming that Cha would surely appear again that night?


    It was best if that jinx did not appear again later!


    After all, he had just given his promise to Hu Nan, so he definitely could not be found missing from his room again.


    Huu-!


    Zhao Yunxiao let out a tired sigh as he looked up towards the warm afternoon sky.


    There was only one night left before they depart for Purple Plum Mountain the next day.
