"And where was your warrior's pride when you and the other elders ambushed me in the dead of night? Where was your honor when you all teamed up on me, thinking I was just a weak little drifting cultivator who was foolish enough to fall in your trap?"

"Honesty is a two-way street, Miss Sect Elder. I'd be a fool to play fairly with cheaters just because of something as laughable as 'warrior's pride.' If the game is rigged, then I'll rig it right back and make sure it ends on my terms.
This was why, even when everything was going my way, I chose to take you out by surprise in the end. A warrior's pride has nothing to do with it. So me having that thing wouldn't have changed my behaviour or my actions in any way.
