Looking at Xia Hong's excessively youthful face, Xiahou Zhang's expression was somewhat complicated, but he quickly understood something. He directly cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Xia Hong, speaking sincerely: "Last year, during the emergency situation at Peak Mountain, Lord Xia Hong saved my life, and I have yet to express my gratitude. My old debts are not repaid, and now Great Xia has helped me reclaim my homeland, adding new favors; Xiahou Zhang is truly ashamed!"
Seeing Xiahou Zhang lower his posture so much, Xia Hong was somewhat surprised, but soon a slight smile appeared on his face. He stepped forward to help Xiahou Zhang up and said with a smile: "Lord Xiahou speaks too highly. Last year's life-saving grace, I do not deny, but this time Great Xia assisted Jiangxia in reclaiming its homeland entirely based on the principle of mutual benefit. No need for the mention of new favors."
