Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Admits Defeat

"Hall Master Xiao!"

Ning Fengzhi said steadily, "You came today to seek justice for Pavilion Master Ye. Your reasons are understandable. As for the past grievances and right and wrongs, Ning does not wish to argue over them any further. But—"

His tone shifted, becoming firm and resolute. "Ning Huafeng is, after all, a member of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and kin of the Ning clan. For you to forcibly take him away before my sect, in full view of everyone, is far too great an insult to our sect's dignity! My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has stood for a thousand years and has never suffered such humiliation!"

He looked at Xiao Yin, his gaze complicated. "If Hall Master Xiao insists on taking him, it is not impossible. But my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must also give an explanation to those within the sect!"

Xiao Yin withdrew his hand and clasped it behind his back. "Oh? What explanation does Sect Master Ning want?"

Ning Fengzhi said gravely, "Simple! Since Hall Master Xiao keeps speaking of seeking justice, then let us settle this according to the rules of the Soul Master world!"

"If you can receive three strikes from Uncle Jian with your own strength! After three strikes, if you remain unharmed, Ning Huafeng... you may take him away! My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will have no objections!"

He paused, then added, "Of course, this battle shall be limited to you and Uncle Jian alone. No one else may interfere. If you cannot receive them, then Hall Master Xiao must take your people and leave. Let today's matter rest for now, and I will compensate Hall Master Xiao with some properties. How does that sound?"

As soon as those words fell, everyone wore different expressions.
