"Such a big matter, why didn't you tell me about it?" Grandmaster Hu asked, both agitated and slightly annoyed.
The reprimand was laced with deep concern, leaving Li Shiming momentarily perplexed.
"What big matter? Is there anything more significant than the sect's victory?" Li Shiming asked in confusion.
"Did you have a duel appointment with Master Ren Mu from the Central State Commerce?" Grandmaster Hu directly inquired, observing Li Shiming's state.
"Oh, it was for that matter. Master Ren Mu and I didn't go all out; we just probed each other's strength!" Li Shiming realized what Master Hu was referring to and explained with a smile.
For him, it was merely a probing match, not a full-scale battle.
Neither side exerted full force, and the fight was kept at a relatively safe level.
"Did you defeat Master Ren Mu?" Grandmaster Hu pressed further.
