"In fact, Zhiran, I sensed you using your Sword Qi before and even felt a faint intent. But I wasn't sure if I felt right. That's why I asked Qiu Ronghai to fix your match early."
Elder Hua paused and looked around awkwardly before continuing.
"I was afraid that you might not use your sword intent easily. That's why I relaxed the rule slightly so I could see if what I sensed was right. But… I never thought…"
He stopped and shook his head with a bitter smile, making everyone speechless.
After all, they didn't need the follow-up, as they had seen what happened with their own eyes.
Now that they thought about it, somehow, it really did seem like Elder Hua was responsible for Wu Zhen being crippled like this.
"Sigh… forget it."
"That was my mistake after all. I cannot allow a deserving candidate of my sect to suffer injustice, can I?"
"So, I helped Wu Zhen get his dantian repaired and even managed to restore his realm, fortunately."
