Lee's plan was simple.
He intended to win the Hall of Ascension's preliminary competition held before the Midsummer Festival. Afterwards he would challenge Victoria to end their feud once and for all.
There were two problems with it.
First of all he had to win, but after witnessing the skills of the youths two years ago, he wasn't sure he could go against someone like Jian Wuji. A thought of that guy allowed to think of a solution, though.
Lee directly went to the inner sect and found Jian Wuji who had transferred to the Hall of Justice. Not beating around the bush, Lee asked for a favor.
"I need your help." He said, "I need to win the next Hall of Ascension's tournament."
Jian Wuji looked back at him with furrowed brows, pondering about the implications. It wasn't that Lee asked an elemental master like him to attend in his stead, but he couldn't ask to manipulate the ruling of the judges. Thousands of people would spectate the events and it was impossible to blatantly cheat.
