"Congratulations to Elder Su," Zhou Ping'an said. "I originally thought the match with Elder Lianxue was a close call, but looking at it now, during our past sparrings, he was actually letting me win..."
Elder Zheng Yuanxing of Sunshine Peak was a round-faced, amiable elder who had previously been defeated by Su Tong of Chongyang Peak. After being thoroughly trounced and humiliated, he secretly blamed the other for not considering their brotherly bond. In normal times, he had supported Su Tong wholeheartedly and never expected that when it really came down to interests, Su Tong would show no mercy, not leaving him any face at all.
Seeing Su Lianxue triumph with ease now, while Zheng Yuanxing was shocked, a sense of schadenfreude filled his heart.
"You discard past friendships, Su Tong, and drag down my reputation. Now you've met your match, haven't you? Ha ha."
