Keep a distance? Manxi was speechless; was there even a need to keep one now? At this point, even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't get in. Forcing his way in would be a violation of fair competition.
Last time, goaded by Dongguo Shou, he found some "reasonable" excuse to go on inspection, only to run into this Demon King and that Demon King refusing to give him face, so that he ended up having to find himself a way down the stage. Was that humiliation not enough?
All he hoped for now was to at least keep his current position. When the time came, with status and justification, he'd have all the chances and reasons he needed to deal with Shi Chun.
Yet the situation Shi Chun had stirred up at the moment left him unsure whether he should be happy or worried.
