Everyone waited all day and until night. Both sides had been fighting by hurling insults, but now it had become throwing eggs and smashing watermelons. Finally, Zhao Jiangui’s shimei,1Gu Jue, brought a message to those waiting. She said that Zhao Jiangui’s punishment had not yet been finished, so he wasn’t coming to the decisive battle today.
Zhao Jiangui’s school in Jianghu was well-known for how seriously it took their principles, so although all of the upright people were disappointed, they were able to understand it well enough. Soon after, a person of Ji Han’s also brought word that he and Zhao Jiangui had already picked a new date for the battle. Everyone that had come out of interest were to return with disappointment, but they were helpless. They could only disperse, and await the day that those two people fought.
However, after Zhao Jiangui and Ji Han met, he didn’t return to his school to receive punishment.
After he accompanied Ji Han outside, he still didn’t arrange to leave. Instead, he met Xiao Lin, who had come inside from the yard.
“Long time no see, Zhao Daxia,” Xiao Lin said with no sign of a polite greeting. Then, he said bluntly, “Haoran Alliance’s mengzhu2 wants to meet with you.”

Then, Zhao Jiangui left the house in the bamboo forest with Xiao Lin, and they took a small road to Lunjian Summit.
Everyone that’d been waiting around had already left, and Lunjian Summit was once again tranquil. Then, from a distance, Zhao Jiangui saw the Haoran Alliance mengzhu and a number of seniors still standing on the stage at Lunjian Summit. His heart immediately began to tremble, for he thought that this scene was a bit familiar.
He subconsciously took a step back; he wanted to turn around and flee.
In regards to his experience, he thought that what came next would no doubt end terribly.
However, Xiao Lin was still behind him, and Xiao Lin knew he wouldn’t be able to stop him, so he roused his strength, and shouted: “Zhao Daxia! Where are you going!”
Haoran Alliance’s mengzhu and the group of seniors turned their heads in unison.
Zhao Jiangui’s heart pounded, thinking nothing good.
However, in reality, Haoran Alliance’s mengzhu and the group of seniors then fell to their knees.
“Zhao Daxia!” They shouted loudly, “We beg you! Return to Haoran Alliance!”
Zhao Jiangui: “…”
