Chapter 14 - 13: Arriving at Anping Prefecture
"Shen Xiang expresses his gratitude to his benefactor, may I ask your name? I will heavily reward you in the future."
Pei Xuanjing pacified his true Qi and waved his hand, saying, "I am Pei Xuanjing. Mr. Shen, there's no need for that. Encountering injustice on the road and extending a helping hand is what we, martial artists, do."
From the strength displayed by Pei Xuanjing just now, Shen Xiang knew that the other party's power must at least be that of a sixth-grade martial artist, so his demeanor was very respectful.
"Regardless, to us, it is a life-saving kindness. Please allow us to pay our respects," Shen Xiang bowed deeply.
Pei Xuanjing reached out to hold him back and shook his head, "There is no need for that."
He glanced at the brutal scene behind him and said, "Perhaps, Mr. Shen, you should first deal with the situation."
Shen Xiang sighed, nodded his head and said, "So be it, please wait for a moment Sir."
After Shen Xiang left, Pei Xuanjing sheathed his sword, returned to his steed, and took out a pill from the pack on the horse's back. The pill, extracted from refined medicinal essences, could replenish his True Qi.
The final move he had used to kill the bandit leader had appeared powerful but had significantly drained his True Qi. He could execute it no more than three times, after which his inner Qi would be completely exhausted.
After a while, Shen Xiang relayed some information about the Shen's Business Association, after settling matters with his caravan. Initially, he offered to give Pei Xuanjing riches to express his gratitude, but Pei Xuanjing firmly declined.
