The girl's grip was like a vice, her tears soaking Ji'an's red silk.
Suddenly, a blur of golden light flashed past.
Gu Zhiwei, the Golden Retriever, appeared like a streak of lightning. His face was set in a mask of stern, heroic purpose. He hovered over the clinging girl, his hand moving with such speed that even the Sect Leader couldn't have tracked the motion.
Yoink!
With a sneaky touch, Zhiwei snatched the girl's Sovereign Token from her sash.
FLASH!
The girl vanished in a beam of white light, eliminated from the tournament, and Ji'an was suddenly standing with her pants securely tied.
Ji'an stared at Zhiwei, her eyes wide. "Did you just... did you just save my dignity by eliminating her?"
Zhiwei smiled, a bright, golden, completely innocent grin. "You looked distressed, Brother Lin. And honestly, she was ruining your movement speed. A true friend does not allow a brother to be pantsed."
