Upon hearing Yue Ding's words, Qin Liuxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"I merely treated your paralysis, and yet you're offering me your life. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one profiting. Would you really agree to such an unequal exchange?"
Yue Ding shook his head and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. As my grandfather had once promised you to find the Jiao Pearl as payment for the treatment, it is only natural we provide something else now that we've gone back on our word. I don't know what use that thing has for you, but since you've asked for it, it must be extremely important. The Yue Family's family teachings are there, loyalty to Emperor Dafeng and the nation, we can't betray our Emperor and country for personal matters. After much thought, the only debt I can repay is with my own life; hence, this life is now yours."
