Watching the time grow late, everyone no longer delayed.
Qi Chan returned to the living room and approached Shu Yu, saying, "Lady Lu, I haven't yet fulfilled the repayment I promised you. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me."
As he spoke, he produced a jade pendant.
"Take this as a token," he said.
Qi Chan's goodwill was not refused by Shu Yu, who happily accepted it.
"Thank you, Mister Qi. Take care," she said.
"Farewell," Qi Chan replied before turning away from the living room and placing himself once again behind Lord Cheng.
Lord Cheng glanced over at Shu Yu and said to Qi Chan with a smile, "This young lady is quite remarkable. She hasn't let you repay your favor once or twice. Perhaps she'll seek you out for something major in the future. You should be careful, teacher."
They had come today intending to help Mister Qi repay the previous favor.
However, Madam Hou had accepted, while Shu Yu had not.
