Chapter 44: Aren't we good brothers?

```

"I am Fang Bai. May I ask who you are?"

Fang Bai feigned ignorance with clear understanding.

"My name is Xia Chenyu, the woman you pulled back from Ghost Gate last night. That was me."

"Oh... Miss Xia, do you need something from me?"

"Of course, I have something. I want to repay you for saving my life."

"It was a small effort, not worth mentioning..."

"My mother used to tell me that one must be grateful and repay kindness. Your small effort saved my life, so I must repay this debt no matter what!"

"Really, it's not necessary..."

"You don't want money, nor a job, so how about I treat you to a meal? That should be acceptable, right?"

"That... Let's talk about it later; I'm currently having a meal with a friend..."

Fang Bai blurted out a lie on the spur of the moment.

"Fang Bai, you're lying!"

A series of "giggle" laughter came from the other end of the phone, leaving Fang Bai as puzzled as a Monk at his wit's end.
