43 A hard life

Shangguan Bing Xue's words cooled the atmosphere even more than it already was and the eyes of the few present, including the newcomer Ming Shi Shi, unconsciously turned in Bai Zemin's direction waiting for his response.

Shangguan Bing Xue's gaze was fixed in Bai Zemin's eyes. She wanted to wait and see what kind of answer he would give after she said those words. However, she figured that considering how indifferent Bai Zemin had been so far, he would refuse. 

After all, who would risk their own life for a mere worthless word that was mentioned in the past? Let alone considering that he was a man. Honestly, Shangguan Bing Xue was already mentally prepared to hear his negative response.

However, Bai Zemin surprisingly nodded calmly and slowly said, "Good. Since you put it that way, then I'll help you rescue those people... At the very least, I promise to do my best."
