The Old Rock Man naturally wouldn't die. As Bai Yunyan's strongest follower at the moment, Bai Yunyan, as his master, couldn't just let him die in vain in a mere competition.
In the end, Bai Yunyan took action, rescuing the rock-like old man from danger, but for a full half-quarter of an hour, the Old Rock Man stood there like a rock, unmoving.
After a long while, he finally snapped out of his shock, looking at the proudly standing Guan Yu, and in the end, the Old Rock Man respectfully bowed to Guan Yu, showing his admiration for him.
Bai Yunyan did not stop his subordinate's actions. Once the rock-like old man had paid his respects, he waved his hand and brought the old man into his inner world.
"Brother Zheng, I was initially worried that you might suffer a loss when it came to followers, but I didn't expect you, my brother, to have such a strong person in your hands."
