Chapter 1044: The Scapegoat

"Uh… well, gentlemen, there's no need for such intense language. I, the young master, have still decided to pay the protection fee."

Han Buzhu said somewhat dazedly, speaking honestly, he was quite bewildered and couldn't understand what was wrong with these temporarily hired retainers, why had they suddenly decided to refuse Li Xiaobai's assistance for the sake of the Icy Frost Sect?

Was his face as a young master so significant, that even before setting foot on Ice Dragon Island, he had already captured the hearts of his subordinates?

"Let's all listen to the young master. When we're away from home, it's better to avoid troubles. Afterward, the Icy Frost Sect will compensate all your expenses for this trip, so you won't suffer any losses."

Uncle Han also spoke, sensing that something was amiss.
