Li Xuance truly did want to defeat Chen Sheng fair and square, but he also understood that he could not get involved in today's affairs. If the Iron Sword Sect were to be implicated, the fault would be his, and it would be immense.

And so, this was a fight he absolutely could not accept.
Lu Maozhi's expression turned anxious. He was about to speak again but was cut off by Lu Canghai, whose face was grim.
"Silence."
'I haven't even decided whether to compromise, and this defiant son of mine has already spoken up, putting Luoyun Manor at a disadvantage!' The thought infuriated him.
'More of a hindrance than a help, truly.'
"Donor Lu, do you find this arrangement acceptable?"
Monk Xuanbei chimed in at just the right moment.
Lu Canghai snorted. He could hardly fail to see Golden Spring Temple's true intentions.
