Bai Feichen looked at him with a mocking smile and said, "If it really were Xiao Jin making such an agreement with someone, would the Village Chief truly twist the person's head off?"
Xia Wanqing was left speechless.
At Haotian Village, the principles of Jianghu took precedence, and promises were upheld. If Xia Wenjin had truly made a pact with someone, even if he felt unwilling, he probably would have to accept it.
But a knot of frustration remained in his heart. He asked, "Who is the other party?"
Recalling, Bai Feichen said, "It's a young man, eighteen or nineteen, with quite a bit of courage!"
"But... Wenjin is a girl, and it's improper for males and females to interact closely; if word got out, what then? That silver, we can offer double... no, ten times; how could we let Wenjin spend a year with that boy? Just the two of them!"
