"Master, please forgive my offense; it was truly my fault for failing to recognize your eminence. I implore your forgiveness," Crown Prince Tianxu humbly said, repeatedly addressing Ye Chen as "master" to express his utmost respect.
Ye Chen merely waved his hand. "There is no need for self-reproach, Crown Prince. It is said that if a youth is not proud, it is in vain. Besides, Crown Prince, your strength is exceptional, putting you among the most outstanding of your generation. Some arrogance is only natural."
"Master, you jest. I once thought that even if I wasn't the best under heaven, I was close. Only after sparring with you did I realize there are always higher heavens and stronger people. My strength is not even worth mentioning compared to yours," Crown Prince Tianxu remarked, not out of modesty but from genuine awe.
