Upon witnessing Ye Chenfeng's divine skills, the others had been shocked into stupefaction. Among them was Dong Wanru's uncle, Dong Qingshan. After taking several deep breaths, he was the first to step out of the crowd. Advancing slowly towards Dong Wanru, he said, "Wanru, your uncle owes you an apology for all these years! If I hadn't been so cautious and indecisive, perhaps your life could have been even better."
With moist eyes, Dong Wanru kept shaking her head. After all, Dong Qingshan had secretly helped her a lot in the past, and in her heart, she still recognized Dong Qingshan as her uncle. She quickly said, "Uncle, you can't blame yourself. Without your covert support, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive on Flaming Sun Island."
After apologizing to Dong Wanru, Dong Qingshan turned to Ye Chenfeng and cautiously asked, "Is the increasing temperature on Flaming Sun Island really related to those crystals at the center of the Flame Forest?"
