Zhao Yong's expression was calm. "Lao Shi! The next match is Tianxi against Zhu Li. However, Tianxi isn't awake yet, so I'll reschedule it for dusk. Is that a problem?"
"No problem!"
Zhao Ci had no way to object, as the request was perfectly reasonable and within the rules.
Exploiting loopholes by having his team concede was something the Imperial Clan Court would tolerate. However, if he tried to force the issue on something like this, they would not stand for it.
