With Monkey's help, he made it back to the small courtyard and into the house.
"Master Qin, what... what happened? How did you get hurt so badly?"
After helping Qin Fang sit down, Monkey asked again in a low, urgent voice.
'After all, he knew just how strong Qin Fang was!'
'He even took down Wang Hu!'
'And he was an Anjin Martial Artist!'
'What kind of opponent could injure Qin Fang this severely?!'
Qin Fang didn't answer. After catching his breath, he suddenly asked in a heavy tone, "Monkey, can I trust you?"
Monkey was stunned for a moment before his expression turned serious. "Master Qin, I don't know much about grand principles, but I know about repaying a debt of gratitude. You saved my life... twice! And after that, you treated me like family... I could feel it. So, Master Qin, whatever you command, even if you ask for my life, I'll give it to you!"
"Even if it means potentially betraying Brother Xu?" Qin Fang asked calmly.
Monkey froze, a conflicted look in his eyes.
