Elder Duan Liang truly did not intentionally offend True Sage Diaosou, so he explained: I am the elder responsible for the cultivation technique in the Taixu.
Transmission of skills is not merely about imparting cultivation techniques but also involves assessing the disciples' cultivation in the sect.
Since it involves evaluation, there is obviously an element of critique. In fact, he is qualified to critique the cultivation techniques of other sects indiscriminately—he can praise strengths or criticize weaknesses; that's his job.
Thus, seeing True Sage Diaosou take action, he couldn't help but comment, yet he truly harbored no intention of offense, it was purely out of habit.
However, his explanation only unsettled True Sage Diaosou, who originally just wanted to express that you should know your place, you're not qualified to critique me. Yet Duan Liang went as far as to say he was responsible for imparting skills.
