Seeing Fang Xing let Liu go so easily caused a glimmer of hope to rise within Hei San. With a tearful cry, he began to beg, “Shixiong… Shixiong Fang, since you’ve spared Liu’s life, please spare mine as well. It was my stupidity and idiocy that made me do what I did, so please, based on what little acquaintance we have between us, please forgive my wrongdoings this time….”
Fang Xing grinned. “Shixiong Hei San, I’ve always been quite grateful towards you. When I first arrived at the outer court, you were the one to assign me my little cottage close to the river stream, and even the silvers for the meal plan were put on credit for a few days before the fatty brought them to you.”
Remembering these things, Hei San looked far more hopeful and his head nodded up and down like a bouncing spring. “Of course, of course, Shixiong Fang. Seeing these things I’ve done for you, you know….”
