The High People's Court in Jiangxi province held a retrial on Tuesday in a case in which self-styled "qigong master" Wang Lin sued one of his former apprentices for 33 million yuan ($5.38 million).

The judge did not give the ruling after the trial on Tuesday.

Neither Wang nor the defendant, Zou Yong, was at court, and neither side presented new evidence. Attorneys for both Wang and Zou declined to talk to the media.
