"Those people from the Brocade Clan are furious not far away. 'The Great Five Palm Gate is utterly lawless! We thought Mr. Tingchao, the current master of the Great Five Palms, might change things, but they've only gotten worse. People outside say the Great Five Palm Gate attacked our Brocade Clan just because we live nearby. What kind of nonsense is that? What do they take our clan for?'"
Xiu Zhan's expression was grave. "No matter what, the Great Five Palm Gate owes us an explanation. Lang Ru Yu and Si Jiu Shi are surrounded. Taking them down won't be easy, but they won't escape either. They've brought the people of the Great Five Palm Gate here, and there are too many people in Ling Yuan who despise them. They'll surely take our side."
"The Young Clan Leader is right. Si Jiu Shi thinks we're fools. He claims that palm strike came from some unknown expert. Hmph, he can't even make up a convincing story. We told him to find that expert, but he won't."
"I just don't understand why the Great Five Palm Gate would strike in the first place. They're just asking for trouble."
"Other people need a reason. The Great Five Palm Gate doesn't. That's just how they are."
"I see."
Lu Yin was speechless. He really had pinned the blame on the Great Five Palm Gate, but just because he'd blamed them didn't mean they had to accept it. The Great Five Palm Gate had taken the fall far too readily. The others weren't even listening to explanations. Honestly.
Even if Si Jiu Shi had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain himself. After all, anyone who hadn't reached Lu Yin's level couldn't tell whether that palm strike was real or fake.
