Ma Pingchuan's posture was so humble, and he came to apologize with such "sincerity," that Zou Feng simply went with the flow and offered a "reconciliatory" smile.
Of course, he didn't actually believe Ma Pingchuan had genuinely given up on opposing him.
After all, this guy had wanted him dead before; otherwise, he wouldn't have made it onto the list.
'You can't just try to kill me, realize it's not so easy, then turn around, apologize, and think a bit of silver will settle everything, can you?'
Besides, Ma Pingchuan's submission was likely just a temporary tactic to make him lower his guard.
The conflict between the two Hall Masters, Chen Jingsheng and Qian Kun, was already irreconcilable.
There was no way Qian Kun would allow one of Chen Jingsheng's subordinates—a "promising" general like himself—to rise through the ranks.
"Ma Incense Master, you exaggerate. It was all a misunderstanding. As long as it's cleared up, we're fine!" Zou Feng appeared magnanimous.
