For the "9-5" life being hammered so much that it gets annoying at times but this is the one moment he breaks it. Than man is a pseudo-god and will actively let his fellow sect members come into harms way cause it's not his working time but when all he has to do is forfeit the Match he is late. The most insane bullshit I have read in awhile, this feels like the author forcing a misunderstanding (which was already growing) instead of continuing the story.
Great translation like always but man was this chapter just dumb in the story's own logic too.
