Fang Yi was very surprised by Jin Yuzhi's intervention, because he hadn't expected Hua Huiyue to act at this time. Knowing that Jin Yuzhi's "attitude" towards him had been quite poor before, Fang Yi now realized that the Desire Sect Leader might just have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Fang Yi was not a man to be coy. With Jin Yuzhi stepping in, she would inevitably be put on the opposite side of many in the martial arts community. Given Jin Yuzhi's intelligence, she must have foreseen this. Thus, her daring move indicated that she had come to a resolution.
Jin Yuzhi was also at the Heavenly Level Rank 2. With her stepping in, his presence was redundant. So, after hearing Jin Yuzhi's words, Fang Yi picked up Hua Huiyue and left.
He made a note of this favor from Jin Yuzhi.
"Not good! He's escaping!"
"The nerve to take Sect Leader Hua with him, this man is clearly lusting after her beauty!"
