Pei Ye sheathed his sword: "You've learned some pitiful prowess, yet you're here to challenge me?"
He glanced at the man standing stiffly in front of him, swept his gaze over the others from Yanrigong, and saw Chen Mishuang's expression frozen. No one made a move, so he chuckled and turned away, heading back into the Sword Student Formation.
After this, the people of Yanrigong ceased their swordplay and soon departed. A few Taoists walked them to the gates, and Xu Wensang still held his composure through the formalities, praising the talents of the Sword Repair Institute. He likely knew that, despite not actively spreading word of his defeat, news of Pei Ye's feat of capturing him by the throat with one sword strike would inevitably make rounds.
