The next day, Li Banfeng asked Xiao Chuanzi to prepare a gift. Xiao Chuanzi was very reluctant. "Seventh Master, you're going to the Jiang Xiang Gang's banquet. Isn't that like putting on nice shoes just to step in dog poop? What's your status? And who are they? What if this gets out? How are we supposed to handle that?"
Li Banfeng laughed. "Haven't I told you? Gang Leader Xiao and I are old acquaintances. We've been through life and death together."
By noon, He Yuxiu, Lu Chunying, and Chu Huaiyuan had all arrived.
Upon seeing Li Qi, He Yuxiu asked directly, "What's the meaning of this, Old Qi? You actually associate with that Jiang Xiang Gang? Don't you find them revolting?"
Li Qi laughed. "Adversity reveals true friendship. The Jiang Xiang Gang is in a difficult situation right now. Someone's got to lend a hand."
He Yuxiu said angrily, "Why would you lend them a hand? Have you forgotten that I almost died at their hands?"
