"Mu Xing has already betrayed Ma Rude and can't return to him. Even if he did, would Ma Rude trust him again? Besides, he has some sense of loyalty. Knowing that Ma Rude can't be saved, he wants to secure Ma Rude's son's future and leave a bloodline for him. It's his way of repaying the debt," said Su Xinyi.
Su Deng said, "Such being the case, he's not as inflexible as he looks."
"Ma Rude has done so many bad things, and Mu Xing knows it very well. When it comes to choosing between repaying a life-saving favor and going along with the corrupt officials, any conscientious person wouldn't choose to continue with Ma Rude."
As they were speaking, Su Xinyi led them to a small food stall set up by the roadside, which only sold various snacks. They sat down at the table, and without a proper menu like a regular restaurant, they had to look at a wooden board with the menu painted in red paint. They ordered a few bowls of hot soup noodles and some snacks, which filled the table.
