Cultivators are also people, and they understand how to evade and deflect. Chen Xi True Immortal's response is just like Earth Realm's buck-passing style.
However, strictly speaking, this isn't really buck-passing. Firstly, he indeed doesn't have that authority, and secondly, although Elder Hexu doesn't have the power to decide, he is very responsible and straightforwardly refused Yitian's request.
"Whether others can leave is their business. I'm just asking you one thing: what did you promise in the beginning?"
Living for over two thousand years, not having even the slightest skill in verbal sparring really would be a joke. The main thing is whether you dare to say it.
Yitian also felt helpless; he's not the type to be shameless. "Then, can I notify fellow disciples from the Chess Sect?"
"You may," Elder Hexu nodded, "but this counts as my Xuanhuang Sect's care, so... you understand my meaning, right?"
