Gu Wen took a sip of tea and asked, "Is the purpose of the three rankings to incite strife? And who established them?"
A group of young and ambitious elites gathered in one place would inevitably lead to strife, and once the rankings were established, fighting was unavoidable. In literature there is no first place, in martial arts there is no second, so a bloody battle is a necessity to determine the true leader.
"It was established by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but they merely acted according to the situation. If they hadn't done it, someone else would have."
Ao Tang lay on one side, ignored and unheard by the people around him, with no one finding it odd to bring a donkey into the tea house.
