"Those words are just to comfort the weak, to give them a bit of hope in adversity. I'm actually surprised that Master Bai would naively believe in them," She Zongyi forced a smile as he spoke harshly.
"Is that so? Throughout history, many treacherous people have met their retribution. Mister Shen, you'd better be careful," Bai Ruozhu retorted.
The shopkeeper beneath She Zongyi was increasingly alarmed as he listened. He asked anxiously, "Who are you? How dare you speak to our Dong Family like that? Do you know who our master is? Even the Emperor holds him in high regard. Who do you think you are?"
Bai Ruozhu smiled faintly, "Indeed, your Dong Family has such a great reputation."
The shopkeeper was about to speak again, but She Zongyi stopped him with a raised hand.
"Then let's wait and see who has the last laugh," She Zongyi said before turning to leave.
Bai Ruozhu laughed and said, "Mister Shen, you'd better be careful not to fall ill again suddenly."
