"You… defeated the Flame Dragon Empire in the tournament?" Having finally processed the news, Xuan Yin, who was standing beside Mu Chen, asked directly.
"Well…" Mu Chen rubbed his nose sheepishly and nodded. "Actually, the Flame Dragon Empire was quite fair. Otherwise, it might have been a very difficult victory for me."
Hearing Mu Chen's personal confirmation, Xuan Yin was ninety percent convinced. The remaining ten percent wasn't disbelief, but shock. 'If I heard him correctly, Mu Chen just said that if the Flame Dragon Empire hadn't been fair, his victory would have been *difficult*! Not that he would have *lost*! Doesn't that mean that since the Flame Dragon Empire competed fairly with him, he won with ease? Can I interpret it that way?' The answer was, of course, yes!
