Moreover, it set a bad precedent for future "Flower Viewing Assemblies." If the rules of the assembly could be changed on a whim, the entire event would lose its purpose.
Wen Yating was, of course, aware of this. The rules could absolutely not be changed, yet she was unwilling to let Chen Feiyu claim the championship. It was out of sheer desperation that she had spoken those words.
At this moment, facing Chen Feiyu’s questioning gaze and the curious looks of those around them, Wen Yating could only put on a brave front. "Who said I wanted to force a change in the rules? On the contrary, I am upholding them. According to the traditional rules of the 'Flower Viewing Assembly,' the champion is only decided once the event has concluded. Therefore, you are announcing your victory a bit too early."
