The next day.
The Arena had already been set up in the South City Elm Forest.
Two banners stood on either side of the Arena: Qian Family Pharmacy and Luo Family Pharmacy.
A tall bamboo pavilion had been erected beside the Qian Family Pharmacy.
Beneath the pavilion, a portly man in a brown robe narrowed his eyes.
Anyone with a keen eye would have recognized him at a glance.
He was Qian Guanhai, head of the Qian Family!
Qian Guanhai took a sip of chilled Plum Soup and looked at the blue-robed man beside him.
"True Disciple Li, are you confident about this fight?"
Li Danyi pointed at the robe he was wearing and smiled.
"Patriarch Qian, if you ask me, I'm only here to go through the motions."
"Who could the Luo Family find to fight me? I've already spoken to everyone ranked above me. They won't come."
"And those ranked below me? I could crush them with one hand. No one dares show up."
"That's why I didn't even put on my fighting clothes today. I just threw on a robe and came."
Qian Guanhai nodded, smiling with satisfaction.
"That would be for the best. If the Luo Family shows up early, we can head back for lunch."
"I had A-Hua catch a few game animals up on the mountain. Don't rush off later."
The two chatted and laughed at their leisure, paying no mind to the Luo Family they were about to face.
A while later, the spot by the Luo Family Pharmacy was still deserted.
Qian Guanhai furrowed his brow.
"Could the Luo Family have run off without a fight?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a group of figures slowly came into view.
Luo Weiyuan led the way, with Luo Zheng behind him.
