The tournament was about to start after 3 days and to 'protect' me from my 'ice-cold' cousin, the leading elder that interrogated me decided to let me stay with the other inner court and chief court disciples.

The violent guy was locked somewhere else in isolation for three days by the elder.

The second day after coming into the sect's inn, I had a visitor.

I was surprised. It was my manipulative cousin. As I thought, she had arrived with fanfare to boost her reputation.

I copied my cool ex-vegetable cousin and replied, "You don't qualify to meet me."

But this was a tough opponent. Instead of being enraged, she made an even more pitiable and wronged expression and sobbingly said, "Why brother? WHY? What did I do to deserve this?"

With just one move, she made the focus of the proceedings shift from the fight of the two ex-bullied guys in the tournament, cousins from a rival sect, to their 'arrogant bootlicking cousin' behind the scenes.
