Ibro noticed the change of the color of the Dean's eyes. After he finished his speech, this faint light vanished. The dean then said:
"This child hasn't told a lie. He really didn't know about that girl's background."
"But Dea…," Zoka tried to negotiate with the dean, but he was silenced by a single look from the dean. The dean then turned again towards Ibro as he said:
"I respect brave cultivators. You stayed in the forest despite the dangers and managed to survive, so you passed the preliminary stage of this contest as a reward.
I will assign the head of the healing sect to take care of this girl. After this contest is over, I advise you to have some serious talk with your friend, my child."
Ibro looked with gratitude towards the dean. The dean then whispered something in an unclear voice.
