"Ahem, sorry, we'll have to put our grudges on hold for now. We've got no time recently."
Han Shan responded awkwardly.
"Put it on hold? This time it's not me standing you up, it's you refusing my challenge, so don't blame me for breaking our appointment later."
Tang Ming's strange voice rang out.
"Who is it?"
Dong Changxing asked Han Shan suspiciously.
"Tang Ming."
Han Shan mouthed the words to explain.
"That bastard... huh, didn't he say he needed to join the raid on the assassin last night? Why didn't he show up?"
Dong Changxing looked at Han Shan in confusion.
"Relax, it's just a minor thing between us, just a friendly sparring."
Han Shan nodded, then changed the topic: "You said yesterday that you missed the appointment because you were going to help with the raid on the assassin, but why didn't we see you there?"
"Well... you guys were there too?"
Tang Ming became suspicious.
"Yes! We fought the assassin, where were you then?"
Han Shan asked again.
