"Tan, you defend Tian Lin; it looks like you're in league with Shang Yu."
Tan Youqi wasn't one to tolerate Elder Qiu and cursed, "I couldn't care less about you; you're only blaming me and Tian Lin because there are too many sect disciples dead and injured, and you're afraid of being punished by the Goddess Sect."
Tan Youqi turned to two Beast Taming Sect disciples and said, "What are you afraid of? It was Qiu who ordered the hunt for Shang Yu. When you return to the sect, just report truthfully, and I believe the elders of Xiangxi Sect will be fair.
When necessary, Tian Lin and I can testify for you."
In other words, Tan Youqi was willing to let the two Beast Taming Sect disciples take the blame.
Just like Elder Qiu, Tan Youqi also wanted someone to take the blame.
Elder Qiu wanted Tian Lin and Tan Youqi to take the fall, while Tan Youqi wanted Elder Qiu to take the fall.
