Chapter 796 - A Loving Couple (1/2)

The Elders were confused when they received Yuchi Bing Xia's message but they still hurried to inform their disciples and the representatives of the visiting sects about the upcoming duel that everyone had supposedly already agreed to.

The disciples that had been asked to deal with these guests all heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, they could let go of this burden! If they had to take part in that duel, then that was nothing. They could even call it furthering their knowledge of cultivation or sword arts. Anyway, it was a hundred times easier than keeping up with the mind of these wily old foxes from the visiting sects while also making sure that all of the disciples stayed together and were always in sight.

They really weren't able to deal with that as easily. Having a fair fight sounded much better. In fact, most disciples of the Yun Zou Sect were eager to take part in the duel. After all, these disciples had still laughed at them a moment ago behind their hands, relishing in their misfortune and trying to find ways to dupe them. They definitely deserved to be beaten up!

In a matter of minutes, the Yun Zou Sect's Elders together with their head disciples and the group of guests they were responsible for headed toward the training ground of the Yun Zou Sect. At the same time, Yuchi Bing Xia brought Liu Cheng, Hong Bao, Qiu Ling, and Jing Yi over as well, picking up the other disciples of the Chun Feng Sect on the way.

Yuchi Bing Xia looked at the people that were slowly gathering and had trouble holding back a satisfied smile and keeping up the appearance of a dignified Sect Master. Ah, that truly worked out too well! Just looking at the faces of the Elders from all those first- and second-tier sects that were obviously not pleased with having to come here but still needed to play along because they thought that the other sects had agreed made him feel that everything was under his control again. These guys would need to have really thick faces to stay after the duel was over.

He glanced at a few of them and narrowed his eyes. Alright, maybe he should say a few words in the beginning to make extra sure. It was always better to be safe than sorry with these guys.

He turned to Qiu Ling and gave a smile. ”Qiu Ling, what about your Master? Have you informed him?”

Qiu Ling blinked his eyes, not understanding what the Sect Master was talking about. ”No. Why should I?”

Yuchi Bing Xia's lips twitched. The Grandmaster was the most important person in the Yun Zou Sect and his word would have even more weight than his own. If he was there when an announcement was made, it would reassure those other sects. Well, maybe reassuring was the wrong word. They would probably not be reassured at all and would instead fear for their own benefits and positions even more but at the very least, they wouldn't dare to do anything against it. Thus it was better to bring him out for an occasion like this.

Yuchi Bing Xia sighed and took out yet another paper crane, looking at it with a wistful expression. Ah, he really needed to talk to Elder Si. Maybe they could implement some tests for the disciples where they would be forced to make those cranes? But then again, it wasn't easy to make them and some of the materials for enchanting them were expensive. Ah, that idea probably wasn't a good one. He sighed again and already wanted to write when Jing Yi spoke up.

”Sect Master, should we go and inform the Grandmaster of something?”
