Ming Xiao was not one to do lots of running, but whenever he looked towards the limp Lin San on General Fan back, he would find the strength he needed to run. Lin San has bet with her life on the stake just to let them out, he wouldn't want to waste her effort.
While they were running, his heart was in turmoil. Having heard how Lin San duped that head guard, he felt complicated. When she told that he's a thousand times better, he was on cloud nine and hearing the head guard wanted to take advantage of her, he wished for nothing than tearing the wall down to stop the other party. This was the first time for him to have such a feeling.
