"Gentlemen, today, Lu Fang, a follower of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, will duel with Qing Zhu from Vajra Temple of the Buddhist sect. It is not a contest between Buddhism and Taoism, but merely an exchange of techniques. Please observe calmly."
"As the grand event approaches, such exchanges are beneficial not only to Vajra Temple and Yuhua Immortal Sect, but also to those of us who are dedicated to cultivation..."
As Master Kongjing spoke calmly and indifferently, Ye Ningxiu and Lu Hequn had already arrived by Lu Fang's side.
They glanced at Chen Yi, then turned to Lu Fang, their eyes carrying a hint of inquiry:
"Nephew, I didn't hear you mention this young friend earlier. Today's meeting almost led to a misunderstanding."
Lu Fang chuckled and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Uncle Lu. Brother Feng and I just met two days ago and haven't had the chance to speak about it before coming to Dakong Temple to meet you."
Lu Hequn waved his hand, feeling relieved.
