I walk out of the building, and I'm meet by Song Cao
"You had something to do with the death of the clan leader didn't you"
I try and brush it off
No, I didn't
"That was so out of character, you would never try to provoke someone let alone enrage the leader."
How could I as a man watch a woman get brutalized?
She scoffs and says mockingly
"Right, you could never do that."
It was self defense
She continues to mock me
"Yeah, if you say so."
Is that all?
"Yeah"
We both slowly walk away, and I hear whispers
"We did an autopsy, seems like it was a rank 3."
"That just doesn't seem possible, how could a rank 3 defeat a rank 5."
Absolute fools
Wei Han approaches me again and with a serious voice says
"Spar me"
Why should I? I can't beat you
"You're lying. I can tell you're not showing your full strengths"
No, you're getting it all wrong. What purpose would I even have for hiding my strengths?
"I don't know why you would hide it, but I can just feel that you are."
I don't want to spar you. I just healed from an injury, and you're all wrecked up
"So be it, in 2 weeks time, you will spar me"
I still won't spar you
I say as he disappears into the distance.
(The council of elders decide what to do with the Xiao Clan.)
I walk out of the territory
Well, guess it's time to work
