The two men in white robes were surprised by how readily Ling Tianyu agreed, and upon closer observation, they realized his eyes brimmed with confidence—a confidence so unwavering that it left no room for doubt that Ling Tianyu had already seen through their trap.
Ling Tianyu did this intentionally; he had already turned the tables and laid his own trap, taking the initiative to make preparations ahead of them.
"Young Master Ling truly is a straightforward man." The man in white robes was utterly exhilarated. Now, he could explain himself to his family without trouble and avoid returning in disgrace.
Moreover, holding a public match here afforded him ample opportunity to prepare. Even if he lost, his head would still remain intact—truly a plan that killed two birds with one stone.
"Make way." The man in white robes waved his hand grandly, prompting the crowd around them to automatically open up a path, allowing them to leave.
