At that moment, Xia Qianhe walked up to Ji Hai, cupped his fist, and said, "My old eyes have grown dim. I am truly ashamed to have wronged an esteemed disciple of the Upper Sect. He saved my son's life, and not only was I unaware, but I even sought to take his. I have come today to ask for forgiveness. I hope the Upper Sect can let bygones be bygones and find it in your hearts to forgive us."
Gao Changtian also walked over at this time and said to the still-dazed members of the Celestial Profound Sect, "I too am ashamed. I feel I have no right to show my face before the Upper Sect again. The most pressing matter now is to release Wen Qingye as soon as possible."
Ji Hai shook his head helplessly. "That will have to wait six more days. The Ancestral Hall can only be opened every seven days. If you had come yesterday, we could have opened it then. But as it stands, we must wait another six days."
Upon hearing this, Gao Changtian wrung his hands, completely at a loss.
