The next afternoon, Zhou Jing took the initiative to invite Marley for a meal.
Marley had originally planned to drag out the teaching and earn Zhou Jing's money. Then, everyone would part ways happily. He did not expect Zhou Jing to treat him so enthusiastically.
To be honest, he was a little surprised and flattered.
All his previous apprentices who had been scammed… no, taught by him grew angry with him and parted on bad terms. If not for the fact that they were in the Furnace District, which had good public security, and the fact that he only scammed outsiders without any backing, Marley would probably have been put in a gunny sack and beaten up long ago.
He did not expect that, with his character, he would be able to enjoy such treatment one day… However, his self-awareness was still very clear.
Since someone was treating him, it would be a waste not to eat. Marley closed the shop and followed Zhou Jing to a local tavern with a good reputation.
