Fengyu hadn't expected him to seek solitude here. "Today Fengyu faced danger—many thanks to Young Marquis Xie for saving my life."
"If this marquis hadn't saved you, you could have saved yourself," Xie Xun retorted. That arrow striking the horse's leg might have saved her life anyway. As the brilliant sunlight glimmered, Xie Xun raised a hand to shield his eyes and said mockingly, "You truly have no fear of death, daring to risk your life against Lin Yu Yan."
Fengyu replied lightly, "I had no intention of stirring up dust, yet the wind brought it my way. Involving Young Marquis Xie was purely accidental. Young Marquis's righteous assistance is deeply appreciated."
"Righteousness?" Xie Xun stood, petals fluttering as he moved. Bending down to look at Fengyu, he spoke with a half-smile, "Could this marquis have any other merits?"
