"Thank you for your kindness, my dear brother. This fraternity, I, Qu Fengting, will never forget," Qu Fengting said without any pretense, clasping his hands together in thanks.
"It's only right, brother; it's what I should do. If you ever need anything, Brother Fengting, just ask. I, Mu Feng, would go through fire and water without any hesitation," Mu Feng responded with heartfelt sincerity, so much that he nearly stumbled over his words in his excitement.
"Good. On account of your words, my dear brother, there's something I can no longer keep from you. The reason I'm here to participate in the trial is actually quite specific; otherwise, given my status, there would be no need for me to attend," Qu Fengting declared, slamming his hand down on the table.
"What reason?" Mu Feng asked, full of curiosity.
Mu Hanyan also pricked up her ears, listening intently.
