"Everyone quiet down," Protector Cai Wei said, smiling and waving at the crowd. "Sect Leader Su has something to tell you all."
The crowd parted, making way for Su Pei and her party to pass through.
"Young Master Su," Su Pei said as she walked up to Su Xuan. She glanced at Protector Cai and Elder Gongsun standing beside her before continuing, "After you left, we discussed the matter and came to a decision. Considering the condition of the sinkhole, we've agreed the trial rules need to be modified. As for you, your score is valid!"
"Great!"
"That's fantastic!"
"Valley Overlord is the deserving champion of this trial!"
"Now we can have a proper celebration! Haha, I've already got the wine ready!"
"Tonight, I'm drinking with Valley Overlord until I drop!"
Before Su Pei could finish speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers. A wide grin spread across Protector Cai's face; only Elder Gongsun, who had previously crossed swords with Su Xuan, remained expressionless.
