"I doubt where his confidence comes from, to actually..."
Elder Huan Kong's face turned unspeakably ugly as he listened to the disciples' remarks. Abruptly turning his head back to the crowd, he rebuked, "Shut your mouths! Before you stands a Peak Master, a Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect. By right, he is your senior. How can you act so disrespectfully! Is this how we at the Thousand Caves Door teach you manners?"
So what if Cao Zhen doesn't understand musical rhythm? That's actually good!
But what's the point of you all saying it out loud?
If word spreads that the Thousand Caves Door debated with someone who doesn't understand musical rhythms, won't that be embarrassing!
However, if we phrase it differently, not mentioning that Cao Zhen doesn't understand musical rhythms, then if we win, it will be a victory over a Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
