Guo Wei reached an agreement with the two men.
Regardless of who defeated Chu Lingguang, the winner would handle any subsequent trouble. They would ensure no one came to the Martial Arts Hall to cause a scene and would explain to everyone that Chu Lingguang did not yet deserve the title of "future Martial Arts Scholar."
Guo Wei knew this would be a blow to Chu Lingguang's morale; most people wouldn't be able to take it.
But the path of an official, just like the path of Martial Arts, was never smooth sailing.
Teaching Chu Lingguang a lesson might not be a bad thing.
Besides, the reputation of a "future Martial Arts Scholar" didn't match Chu Lingguang's current strength.
Bestowed upon Chu Lingguang, it would only attract endless trouble. It was better to shed the title sooner rather than later.
"Master Guo, please rest assured."
"We will not go back on our word."
Teng Qingshan and Lin Yuanfu spoke one after the other.
