Li Huai wasn't soft-hearted, it was Po Tan's selfless act of courage that made Li Huai suddenly decide to let them go.
Po Tan and his men had indeed not committed unforgivable crimes; their transgressions did not warrant death!
With Chen Yao dead and Lei Xiaotian gone, after Tan Qing's funeral, Xie Bing returned to the North Hall with his men and assumed his position as the new Hall Master.
Of course, there were still some elders in the North Hall who did not support him. But after Chen Yao and Lei Xiaotian had failed, they did not dare to openly challenge Xie Bing, they could only grumble behind his back, venting their dissatisfaction.
Xie Bing finally achieved his wish, and all this was granted by Li Huai; he could never repay Li Huai's significant kindness and help.
So when someone asked him who Li Huai was, Xie Bing first glared at them, and then said, "Li Huai is my benefactor. From now on, the North Hall is willing to serve him faithfully until death!"
