You know what I'm like. Back when I led the Traveling Merchant Team, I was cunning and selfish to my very core. I value my own life above all else!

If I'm dead, everything else is just empty talk."
Si Shuo nodded repeatedly. "That's exactly right. Nothing is more important than your life. You only live once, so don't you dare leave anything to chance."
Ji Liang smiled and agreed.
