Chapter 43

Whether he owed me a favor or not, what could I do? Was I going to fall out with him? I couldn't even beat him right now anyway. Still, this fellow from Snow Country seemed like a genuinely honest man; it was just a pity he had some unspeakable difficulty that prevented him from stepping in. Since he had offered a sincere apology, how I would treat him in the future would depend on circumstances. Originally, Chen Yi had planned to nurse a grudge over today and give this Snow Country fellow a thorough beating once he grew stronger. Using Chen Yi as bait to deal with those two highwaymen—even though the thugs hadn't intended to spare Chen Yi either—was something he had to mark down. Today's slash had been a genuinely raw deal for Chen Yi; if his Vajra Skill's skin and flesh refinement hadn't already reached a modest level of mastery, that cut would have cleaved right through his muscle down to the bone, resulting in a devastating injury.
