C22 A Favor to Save One's Life Is Nothing

Zuo Shaoqing watched Lu Zheng's actions nervously. Seeing Lu Zheng directly open his bag, Zuo Shaoqing took out the transparent pearl and threw it over, "This reward is yours."

Seeing the doubt on Zuo Shaoqing's face, Lu Zheng explained patiently, "In any bank in the Great Yang, you can exchange it for five hundred silver."

Zuo Shaoqing didn't know if this little thing was valuable or if it was valuable because it was Lu Zheng's, but he knew that Lu Zheng was giving him compensation in advance and was planning to give him two taels of silver.

However, what Zuo Shaoqing wanted wasn't money. If he saved an ordinary person, five hundred liang would be enough. However, was the person in front of him an ordinary person?

He didn't hesitate to return the item. "I do have some guesses about your identity, but I can't be sure. I didn't want anything in return for saving you."

Zuo Shaoqing's words were sonorous and forceful. Anyone would have been moved by his sincerity. Unfortunately, the person in front of him was Lu Zheng. This man could no longer be seen as a normal human being.

"Oh? "Is that so?"

"Naturally, late … "I was just curious, that's why I touched the purse."

He thought Lu Zheng would say something else, but that person just looked at him deeply, with an unfathomable depth, making Zuo Shaoqing's heart race again.

Lu Zheng threw the pearl back into his arms and slowly closed his eyes. His bag had a unique fragrance that most people would not be able to detect, only those with profound inner force skills would be able to detect it, so he was sure that this young man had once taken his bag with him.

As for why he returned it, it was very simple. One possibility was that he discovered that the things inside were worthless and useless. The other possibility was that he knew of his identity and didn't dare to not return it.

If it was the Mountain Barbarian Man, then it would be the former, but Zuo Shaoqing was a scholar, not to mention he was a descendant of Zuo Family, so the possibility of him not knowing the Lu Family emblem was very small.

Just from this point alone, he knew that the youth in front of him was not as upright and generous as he had shown.

But what did it matter? It was a fact that Duan Ling Tian saved him, so giving him a certain amount of compensation was only natural. He only hoped that this youth wouldn't be so greedy, or else he would let him know that saving his life was nothing much.

Seeing that he was not angry, Zuo Shaoqing felt even more upset. This meant that Lu Zheng did not take him seriously at all. Well, he was indeed not worthy to be the future Master Lu.

But... It wasn't enough to send him away with money. How could he settle the grudge so easily when he had placed all the opportunities in his life on Lu Zheng?

"Brother …" Young Eunuch Lu, are you suspecting the evil intentions of this late one? " Zuo Shaoqing consciously changed his way of addressing Ye Zichen. It was better to not talk too much.

"There's no point in speaking any further. Just remember your words." Lu Zheng closed his eyes and completely ignored Zuo Shaoqing after saying that.

Zuo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and ignored his warning. A person like Lu Zheng might be ruthless and could kill without blinking, but he absolutely disdained owing a favor. And what he wanted was nothing but a piece of cake for Lu Zheng, he believed that he would not be stingy.

Maybe, I can test his bottom line in the future. Zuo Shaoqing laughed at himself, hoping that he was lucky enough.
