There's an old saying that one won't strike a smiling face. Although Jin Tiegang, as a servant in Fang Clan Town, has a strong presence that makes Fang Lan detest him, his careful flattery along the trip has somewhat eased her anger. She's no longer staying stone-faced while Jin Tiegang, a powerful cultivator, pleads his case.
"Mr. Jin, I don't hold you responsible for this," Fang Lan finally spoke.
"Miss Fang, your understanding is truly a relief..." Jin Tiegang's face filled with joy. If he can successfully handle this matter, his standing in Jin Ming's heart would significantly increase.
That's just how people are, playing politics according to their position. Jin Tiegang serves at Jin Ming's pleasure, so he naturally has to consider his lord's interests. Simultaneously, this also equals considering for himself.
