"World, I've already told you everything about how we, Four Treasures Peak, plan to proceed. Yet, in order to boost our rank, you deliberately purchased so many Spirit Stones for us,"
"I'll repay you fifty-fold, whatever the amount was. Don't refuse; no matter what, I must repay you."
"How many...," Chen Shizhi uttered but quickly altered his statement, "Not much, just a thousand Liang of Spirit Stones."
He had indeed wanted to claim two thousand Liang, but when he had borrowed money at the foot of the mountain, Cao Zhen had heard those people talk about the debt being a total of fifteen hundred Liang with interest. Clearly, it couldn't have been too much.
Cao Zhen now announced his intention to repay the Spirit Stones in front of so many people, most likely for the sake of appearance.
If I lied and said it was two thousand Liang and he found evidence to the contrary, what then? Wouldn't that give him an excuse to pay me less?
