Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect feigned indifference as he replied:
"You are a nominal disciple of Zixia, and I am her elder brother. If I were to defeat you, others would say that I am bullying the weak and taking an undeserved victory. So... you understand what I mean, right?"
"This..."
Now, it was Li Ping'an's turn to be embarrassed. With no other choice, he turned to the Senior Brother of the Immeasurable Sect, Xianyu Shu Qinghai, and pleaded:
"Senior Brother Xianyu, just now, you said you really wanted to save face for your Immeasurable Sect through me. Now I'm giving you the chance, as long as you're willing to challenge me."
"Fellow Taoist Li Ping'an, it's not that I can't, but truly..."
Senior Brother Xianyu Shu Qinghai of the Immeasurable Sect shook his head, expressing his difficulty:
"Truly, it's impossible for me to disobey my master's orders. I'm sorry, Brother Li Ping'an. After the competition, I will definitely invite you for a drink to apologize!"
