Ling Buyang slapped Xu Xin across the face, making him spin several times.
This was the greatest mistake of his career. He had barely managed to keep it hidden. Now, you want me to admit it in front of everyone? Are you trying to ruin me?

“Keep quiet unless spoken to!”
Suppressing his anger, Ling Buyang steadied himself and looked at the man in front of him, Sun Qiang. “Since you’re accompanying Young Master Zhang in his trials, you must be someone of considerable influence. I trust you wouldn’t spread such unverified and baseless rumors that could damage my reputation. More than my reputation, it would bring shame to the entire Machete Sect.

As expected from an experienced Destiny Master, Ling Buyang swiftly shifted the focus, invoking the stature of the Machete Sect.
