Sun Yu saw the elder's rage boiling over, his Dharma Image fully revealed; he simply clasped his hands and asked, "Elder, how may I address you?"
The elder thought Sun Yu was frightened by him, and his anger subsided a little, replying, "I am Cui Hongbo, currently the Fifth Elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall."
Little did he know, Sun Yu responded, "Oh, so you are Elder Hong Wen. Since you do not agree with my view, how about we have a friendly sparring match?"
Cui Hongbo immediately realized he had been played and erupted in anger, exclaiming, "Then let me, as your elder, properly discipline you in place of your parents!"
Fleeting anger flashed across Sun Yu's face, then he calmly said, "Since the elder wishes to offer guidance, how about a contest of wits? We take turns executing Daoist Skills, one move each, and the first to fail shall be deemed the loser."
Such internal contests were common among the great families and sects; without a second thought, the elder agreed.
