"But you've helped us so much, and you saved my daughter's life. I must express my gratitude to you two masters," the old city lord said.
"There's no need for that." Qiying Fofeng said with a smile, "That wasn't why we came. We only came to resolve the trouble, not to seek a reward."
Uchiha Madara thought for a moment, then said to Qiying Fofeng, "It wouldn't be right to put it that way."
"If we had run into an ordinary person, we could just wave it off and leave," Uchiha Madara said with a smile. "But the person we've met is the old city lord of this country."
"If we simply leave like this, the old city lord will lose face as well," Uchiha Madara said.
After hearing Uchiha Madara's words, the old city lord hurriedly said, "This master is right. If the two of you just leave like this, everyone in the country will laugh at me for being a miser."
"Is that how it is?" Qiying Fofeng looked at Uchiha Madara and asked.
Uchiha Madara nodded and said to Qiying Fofeng with a smile, "You're still young. There are far too many things you don't understand."
"Things aren't as simple as you think," Uchiha Madara said.
"The sun will be setting soon. When it's time for dinner, you two masters must come join us," the old city lord said.
"Don't worry about that." Uchiha Madara said with a smile, "We'll show up even without an invitation."
"How could you possibly be uninvited?" the old city lord quickly said. "I'll definitely send someone to invite you two masters. Please wait patiently."
"Then we'll head back for now," Uchiha Madara said.
Before they left, the old city lord repeatedly urged Uchiha Madara and Qiying Fofeng not to leave.
