"My Taryn has always been upright and honest. Naturally, he cannot stand the sight of someone violating sect rules to frame a fellow disciple."
The exact words Torin had just used to defend Blair were now thrown right back in his face by Sylra.
Torin was so angry he bared his teeth, his face flushing the color of pig liver. Yet he had absolutely nothing to say.
"Torin, say no more." Aerin pondered for a moment and said faintly.
"I saw it with absolute clarity just now. It was indeed your disciple Blair who dug the trap to lure Taryn Lark in first."
"Taryn Lark was merely counterattacking for self-preservation, which is why he injured Blair. We'll consider them even."
"As for your bet with Senior Brother Sylra, I also heard it clearly from the side. Do not go back on your word."
Hearing Aerin actually stand on Sylra's side, Torin was so angry his face turned blue and purple.
