Elder Bai knew Du Shixun was irritable and reckless in his actions. Fearing he might create a stalemate, he quickly stepped forward to mediate, saying, "This invitation to fellow Daoists worldwide is to jointly resist Xuanyue; the Sect Leader has mentioned that as long as one is willing to work for our Zhongtai, we shall not mind their origins. Why must Shixun delve into the details?"
Du Shixun disdainfully said, "What could these people possibly achieve? Even those seated in the hall aren't much better, or why would they lose repeatedly?"
These words insulted everyone present; whether elders or guests at the banquet, faces showed anger. One person even sneered, threw down his cup, and with a flash of light, left the hall.
Sect Leader Qiao was also somewhat displeased and said in a deep voice, "Xun'er, mind your tongue."
Du Shixun chuckled and said, "Father, if you wish to know who is worthy to ascend the stage, why bother so much? Let your child test them to find out."
