"So that saber... was a fake.
"The real Hundred-Pound Saber was hidden away by my grandfather long ago.
"But I really don't know where it is..."
Fang Shuwen, unconcerned, spoke as he searched the bodies of the Black-faced Rabbit, the Ghost-faced Fox, and the Wind-faced Bear.
"I was never interested in your family's Treasure Saber in the first place. Whatever secrets are hidden in it have nothing to do with me.
"What I promised you was that I would get you to Yuqing Pavilion and into your aunt's care.
"Anything else... is unimportant. So, you don't need to apologize.
"Let's head back."
The search of the three bodies was complete. There wasn't much to be found, just some loose silver and ingots, adding up to about fifty or sixty taels.
Seeing that Fang Shuwen genuinely didn't mind, Xu Shuxin finally relaxed. As they walked back, he couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Fang, when did you realize that Xiao Ding Xiang was a fake?"
"I was a little suspicious from the very beginning."
