Repay a Drop of Kindness with a Gushing Spring

Yang Chen was instead puzzled. "You were waiting specifically for me?"

"Brother Yang Chen, since I was young, I have remembered one principle: receive a drop of kindness, repay it with a gushing spring. You were the one who helped me up back then. You were the one who gave me back my dignity. You were also the one who told me that the Eastern Thirty-Six Commanderies were not some remote backwater, that they could also produce geniuses like you, experts like you!"

Lin Yunfeng gritted his teeth. "That was precisely why, after hearing about what had happened to you, I immediately stationed myself at every checkpoint, hoping I could lend you a hand. I never expected that heaven would not disappoint the determined; I found you right at the start. This is wonderful."

Yang Chen blinked. It seemed he had truly made the right gamble. He had never expected that his casual act of saving Lin Yunfeng would play such a crucial role during his escape.

He had already steeled himself for the worst, not even knowing whether he could escape. Yet now, he had encountered Lin Yunfeng, who could help him!

No matter what, having someone work with him from within and without was far better than fighting alone.

Of course, Yang Chen still harbored some caution. He said, "Everyone wants to kill me? And just because I once helped you, you came to help me?"

"Brother Yang Chen, indeed, everyone wants to kill you now. They say you possess treasures; they say you deserve to die. But I, Lin Yunfeng, do not see it that way. I only know that when I fell, you were the only one who helped me. I only know that when I fell, everyone else chose to stand by and do nothing!"
