Although Lu Sangjiu was dying to see Sword Bu Gui and Bai Heng throw down, she knew in her heart that they wouldn't.
For one, fighting on someone else's territory would mean offending the Gold and Silver Gate.
For another, they weren't just representing themselves, but their sects as well.
The politics involved were too complicated. Even Bai Heng, who had always done as he pleased, had to show some restraint.
So, with the two men locked in a standoff, Lu Sangjiu spoke up again, her voice weak. "S-Senior... I really can't hold on any longer. I need to get back and treat my injuries right away. May I ask Mr. Gu to take me back first?"
Sword Bu Gui seized the opportunity to back down gracefully. "Of course. Coincidentally, I am also feeling fatigued today. Elder Yin, thank you both for your hospitality. We will take our leave now."
