Having met Ding Dian once, Hou Yuxiao had figured out two things.
The first was that Ding Dian truly had nothing bad to say about his disciple, Cheng Yue.
The second was that he had to deal with the trouble caused by Cheng Yue, even at the risk of offending Ding Dian, he had to confront this man.
After understanding these two things, Hou Yuxiao completely dismissed the idea of reconciling with Ding Dian, which is why, in the end, he feigned being forced to accept Cheng Yue's challenge.
What a fool Cheng Yue was, setting the date seven days later and, furthermore, announcing it throughout the county to engage in a truly fair duel.
If it were not for Hou Yuxiao's excellent acting skills, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud just then.
"Indeed a disciple of the Holy Church, going to your death with such confidence is also your great fortune."
