Remembering Liang Qiu's gift of the "Eternal Night's Descent" bracers and considering the two men were truly ignorant of the larger plot, Chu Fan found an opportunity to explain the situation to the new Hall Master of the Punishment Hall and secured their release.

The new Gang Leader, Cao Feng, knew of their connection to Chu Fan and, taking the path of least resistance, allowed them to continue working under him, managing the affairs of Xingning Street as before.
Ever since getting a taste of success from selling the "Mountain-Splitting Fist" Boxing Manual, Chu Fan had entrusted this "business" to the four of them.
