After a long silence where no one spoke, Xu Ming, the Sect Leader, finally had to say, "I wonder if you might have considered a question—why did Beiwu Academy choose to support Wind Blade Valley instead of Profound Spirit Valley?"
Everyone frowned simultaneously, evidently troubled by this. Although many had a vague idea, they chose to wait for Xu Ming's self-questioning and answering.
Xu Ming's gaze swept over the faces of those present, and upon seeing no one answering, he had to explain himself: "From my perspective, among the three valleys, the one most likely to fall behind currently is Wind Blade Valley. If Wind Blade Valley falls behind, it would absolutely not be a good thing for the two academies, especially for Beiwu Academy!"
