Ah Yu only snapped out of her daze after Han Ning called out to her.
She recalled her Fear Demon Wolf and quickly stepped down from the stone battle stage. Like a child who had done something wrong, she kept her head lowered, not daring to meet Han Ning's eyes. Her voice was dejected.
"I'm sorry... Lord Han Ning. I couldn't defeat my opponent."
"It's not a big deal. It was just an ordinary match."
Han Ning patted her on the shoulder, encouragingly.
"My apologies, esteemed guest, but those are the rules here at Tingchao Pavilion. A match isn't over until one side has completely lost the ability to fight, or the Beast Master surrenders... and your companion... never said a word. I had no choice but to let the battle continue." The fish-headed referee blinked his milky-white, dead-fish eyes and spread his hands.
