It was Wang Wenze speaking. After noticing something was off with Pei Yan, he quietly asked Gu Shenghui what had happened. Upon learning the details, he remembered Pei Yan mentioning these people before. He looked at Pei Yan and said solemnly, "To outsiders, you seem cold and ruthless, but we all know that you're someone who values friendships deeply. This is both your strength and weakness. You always like to shoulder things yourself. We've discussed this many times; since we've stepped into this hall and chosen this profession, we've already prepared ourselves for death. It's the same for everyone, so there's no need for self-blame. If, and I say if, any of us meets misfortune one day."
Saying this, Wang Wenze patted Pei Yan on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't be sad, and don't blame yourself. Dry your tears and do as you always do, and do best: avenge us."
