When Ma Wu stepped out of the Lucky Celebration Troupe's camp, he was robbed.
He went out to gather a few herbs from the new land and patched himself up. For a young master from a wealthy family, he knew an awful lot about such things, and over those few days, Li Banfeng ended up learning quite a bit from him too.
When his injuries were getting better, Ma Wu bowed deeply to Li Banfeng. "Brother Li, I don't know when I'll ever repay the favor I owe you. I'll move out tomorrow. I can't let you be dragged into whatever my family is scheming against me."
Li Banfeng lifted an eyebrow. "We haven't made enough money yet, and you are already thinking of leaving?"
Ma Wu smiled. "Brother Li, once I have shaken myself free from this tangle of trouble, I'll come back and do great things with you."
Li Banfeng nodded. "Alright then. If you are set on leaving, let's split the money we have made over the past few days."
Ma Wu shook his head. "That's your money, Brother Li. I was only working for you."

So be it, he thought. A few more debts won't make a difference....
