Li Muxin's face turned a succession of shades, like a soy sauce shop—greenish-yellow, then black.
Some of the martial arts school disciples accompanying him to Huning City would also be competing in the Hundred Cities Tournament.
The young man who had just stepped forward to question him was the most talented among them.
Li Muxin couldn't scold him too harshly, and for a moment he was stuck in an awkward position.
