More and more people are gathering here.
The wise know that this move is akin to rubbing the face of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion in the dirt. Once matters are brought to the surface, there must be an explanation.
The two forlorn figures atop the city gate stirred the hearts and minds of the crowd.
"Are these two really members of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion?"
"Heh! Other than the Sect Leader of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, who knows? But whether they are or not is no longer important. What matters is that the attitude of the True Martial Sect has been made clear; the key is how the Inquiring Sword Pavilion will respond."
"You're right. I have a feeling that there must be a battle between the two factions to resolve this incident. Could it be that the True Martial Sect wants to rise by stepping over the Inquiring Sword Pavilion?"

Voices of quiet discussion arose.
Some of the speculations frightened the crowd.
Everyone knows.
