Ling Xi was oblivious to Bei Yan's inner ridicule, and quickly continued her moral lecturing, "How could such a person of noble character accept the benefits we offer him? That would be an insult to the gentleman's pure integrity! You! Now! Immediately apologize to the gentleman!"
Chen Shizhi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, growing increasingly suspicious that Cao Zhen wasn't actually here to deal with Yi Sheng at all! It was likely that the entire Four Treasures Peak knew they would get nothing from Yi Sheng! So they did the exact opposite, intentionally coming here to disgust others, taking the moral high ground to morally blackmail!
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister is right," the chubby Little Bei Yan bowed to Chen Shizhi with his fists clasped, speaking perfunctorily, "Mr. Chen is of noble character, and I, your disciple, have been petty-minded. Please, Mr. Chen, forgive and pardon me."
