"Gratitude?" Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows.
"Gentlemen, I would like to speak to Junior Brother Wushuang in private for a moment." Yin Long looked at the people behind him.
"Senior Brother Yin Long, we'll see you later in that case."
Immediately, the few outer disciples respectfully left, leaving only Jian Wushuang and Yin Long at the courtyard.
Yin Long sat down on the stone stool right next to Jian Wushuang.
"Senior Brother Yin Long, you've defeated Qian Xia?" asked Jian Wushuang casually.
Yin Long shook his head. "No. Although I didn't defeat him, we were tied. The Elders decided to accept both Qian Xia and me as core disciples since they couldn't decide on a clear winner."
"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang finally understood.
