"Actually a tie? Are they going to fight? How could Yang Zheng possibly beat the Mountain Spirit?"
"You've got the rules wrong. With Cao Yuanchao absent, there are only five Yan Fu Masters left for the seat. They have to vote again, and it's impossible for it to actually come to blows."
"I still favor Yang Zheng to advance to the second seat."
"Even if they were to fight, isn't the Mountain Spirit interested in promoting his darling to the second seat? The rules for this martial competition were initially set to test those who may lack the strength of the Six Ministries and the ability to protect themselves as reserves for the second seat. It wouldn't make sense for the Mountain Spirit to fight Yang Zheng, would it? It should be Li Yan who fights Yang Zheng!"
"Eight Extremes Peak fight Seven Palaces Peak? If you were the Mountain Spirit or Mr. Li, would you agree to that?"
The meeting hall was abuzz with discussion.
