The conversation reached a point where Elder Cang Shan could no longer back down.
However, the thought of competing with a junior made him somewhat reluctant.
If he won, people would say it was only to be expected for a senior to win.
If he lost, Long Fei would definitely use his many years of accumulated reputation to make a name for himself in one fell swoop.
He pushed the problem to his ally beside him, the current Honored Guest Elder of Hong Sect, Yu Fangming.
The incident today was essentially instigated by Hong Sect.
Both morally and logically, it should be dealt with by Hong Sect.
Yu Fangming understood Elder Cang Shan's intention, but he had no reason to shirk his responsibilities.
As the Honorary Guest Elder, reaping the benefits from Hong Sect, it was only right for him to stand up for Hong Sect at this moment.
He stepped forward, cupped his fist towards Long Fei, and said, "I am Yu Fangming, the Honored Guest Elder of Hong Sect, here to seek guidance."
