Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I know, panicking now won't help. I just hope he can hold on a little longer, so we can find a way to handle the next duel."
Hoshino Meigetsu said, "My father is that kind of person, who places great importance on the honor of the family and Ittō-ryū, so after being provoked by Watanabe Kazushi, he'll face any danger head-on."
Ling Zhenfei said, "But hasn't he thought that if he loses this duel, it would be a huge disgrace for the entire Hoshino Family and Ittō-ryū?"
Hoshino Meigetsu was also at a loss for words, knowing this matter is crucial to Ittō-ryū as a whole and not knowing what to do.
As the Celestial Maiden of Ittō-ryū, any problems with Ittō-ryū would significantly affect her relationship with it as well.
If Ittō-ryū loses face, then she too would lose face.
Appearance is minor; if they lose this duel, the Watanabe Family can randomly set a condition, likely forcing the entire Hoshino Family out of Bin Qi Wu.
