The Qingshi Sect Leader followed the direction in which the bandit leader pointed and saw two young men standing not far ahead. One wore red, the other white; both stood tall and straight, with an imposing bearing, like two dazzling pearls radiating brilliant light.
The Sect Leader muttered to himself, "These two do indeed look extraordinary, but they're so young. How could they possess such profound martial arts? Even you, the bandit leader, were no match for them. It truly makes no sense..."
The corners of his mouth lifted into a faint smile as he put on a calm front and said, "They're merely two wet-behind-the-ears brats. Why would this Sect Leader need to personally step in? You made such a grand fuss, even summoning so many disciples, that I thought a huge force of powerful enemies had arrived! Now that I see it, this was purely a waste of time."
The bandit leader explained with a fawning smile, "That little brat in red doesn't know martial arts at all, so you needn't pay him any mind. The truly difficult one is the young man dressed in white. You mustn't underestimate him."
The Qingshi Sect Leader could not help revealing a look of surprise. "What? There's only one young man? You couldn't even handle one young man? You're truly useless! What have you people been doing all these years? You've grown older, but not gained a shred of skill?"
He had originally thought there were two young men, only to learn that there was actually just one to deal with. He found it utterly unbelievable. They could not handle a single young man, had even thrown away their lives in the process, and had gone to such lengths to ask him for help. It was simply too bizarre.
