Tang Lifen agreed, "Very well, Iron Fist. You shall have your duel. Zhang Wei will represent us."
Zhang Wei, wearing a sly grin, subtly stepped back, gently pushing Tang Lifen forward. "I am feeling a bit under the weather from night's exertions. The Scarlet Lady herself shall lead the juniors by example today!"
"!"
"Wh—"
"Night exercises? Huh?"
"But it's still evening."
A wave of murmurs and confusion swept through the crowd as Tang Lifen's face darkened with anger, her eyes narrowing sharply as she stood there, momentarily stunned.
"You—" she was on the verge of lunging towards the brother, her lips parting to thank him for his reveal, but he had already slipped away, to 'impart education' on the juniors.
"Huh?"
Meanwhile, Iron Fist, eyes widening in a mix of anticipation and fury, watched as Zhang Wei approached him, a relaxed chuckle escaping his lips.
