Qu Yuan looked grimly at Yuan Yun, not daring to defy Zhou Qi's words, and sat back down obediently.
After scolding the members of the Qingyang Sect, Qu Yuan turned his head to look at Yuan Yun and Zhu Xi on the stage, smiling as he said, "Brother Yuan is truly an expert with the blade. Zhu Xi, you should thank him quickly for showing mercy. If Brother Yuan had not held back, you'd be disabled by now."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi suddenly realized that it was the back of the blade, not the cutting edge, that had landed on his left shoulder. Otherwise, his left arm would likely have been ruined.
Zhu Xi secretly sighed in relief, looked at Yuan Yun in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "The Eight Eccentrics truly live up to their reputation." After saying this, without even voicing a word of thanks, he turned around and went back to the seats of the Qingyang Sect.
