The match ended with Finn's victory, which resulted in another fatal blow to Gargo Village's force. And, since it wasn't a death, Elder Gabriel had no authority to comment on Xiao Fan's paralysis.
The origin of the paralysis was unknown, but since Finn was backed by Lijkao Village and refused to be interrogated, Gargo Village could not retaliate. They were stuck in a deadlock with no option out.

"Elder Gabriel politely asked me to participate in the next battle, and I agreed," said the crimson-eyed man, maintaining an emotionless facade. Since Elder Gabriel had revealed his true colors, perhaps Isabella was the same.
