From the clamor of the Qi Cultivation disciples, Bei Shaoyin managed to piece together what had happened.
It turned out that Guardian Envoy Yu's party had been admiring the scenery when Zhang Hai approached. Observing all the proper courtesies, he asked if Guardian Envoy Yu and the others required anything.
Guardian Envoy Yu had spoken condescendingly at the time, remarking that while the scenery was excellent, a landscape without the touch of humanity was ultimately a bit dull. He hoped Zhang Hai would send a few female disciples to perform with their swords for entertainment.
Zhang Hai was displeased, but he was wary and restrained himself from making any sharp remarks. Instead, he simply smiled and said, "Guardian Envoy Yu, don't you have a beautiful, sword-bearing maidservant right here? Why not have her perform?"
