"Alas, though he was a lackey, even Green Ghost said he had only taken a wrong turn. He was still once one of the Jing People, after all. I hope he wins."
"I heard he climbed his way into the Chai Family by those means. Young Master Nian has no interest in women, yet he's always bringing the Su brothers around. It's pitiful, having to do whatever it takes just to climb higher..."
Su Yuan hadn't expected the first person to leap onto the stage to be Chai You.
Chai You stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, "Su Yuan, admit defeat. Go back and test the medicine properly. Leave the rest to me."
Su Yuan shook his head.
"You cur, how dare you disobey me?" Chai You's expression darkened.
"I only obey Young Master Nian," Su Yuan replied.
"Ha. You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you know that we're short a specimen with excellent bones for refining Blood Bone Pills?"
Chai You suddenly grinned, revealing a sinister smile. His gaze drifted, seemingly at random, toward Tie Niu below the stage.

The two immediately clashed.
Su Yuan struck viciously, every move aimed at Chai You's injured right arm.
Chai You's injuries had yet to heal. He scrambled to defend himself, looking thoroughly miserable.
"Su Yuan! You cur, stop!" Chai You
