Back at Qingluo Peak, Ling Yunpo recounted the situation to Senior Sister An:
"…In short, it's all because our Sect's treasure was stolen, and the Asura Path has been ambushing our Shushan disciples recently. The higher-ups have decided to organize Golden Core True Persons to eliminate the demonic guards on the path, and they've made this the official event for the Dragon Boat Festival competition."
"If you ask me, although this initiative is launched by our Shushan, the responsibility lies entirely with the Asura Path: it was clearly their own lack of vigilance over the Sect treasure, so how can they blame the Shushan Sword Immortals?
"Perhaps the one who found it even intended to return it to the owner originally, but seeing you act so unreasonably, they changed their mind and decided not to return it!"
"Junior Brother's words are quite right," An Zhisu said absently, her thoughts clearly already focusing on the competition.
