It was understandable that He Youling would personally come to him for the chance to live a couple more years.
But Xia Liang hadn't expected to be found so quickly. The He Family's influence in Haojiang was truly extraordinary. Knowing He Youling had come to ask for a favor, Xia Liang saw no need for pleasantries.
"Please, Elder He, don't do that. A junior like me doesn't deserve this."
Patting He Youling's shoulder, Xia Liang simply smiled and walked away to continue browsing the items in the jewelry store. He didn't take He Youling's outstretched hand, and his casual dismissal left everyone stunned.
Everyone stared, their ears ringing. That's He Youling! How could you just leave him hanging? And you even patted his shoulder? In all of Haojiang, only He Youling patted others on the shoulder; no one ever dared to pat his. This kid must be insane!
