Bab 49: Chapter 49: Someone's Sabotaging Behind the Scenes

In the Jianghu world, the most important thing is "face."

No matter how big the issue is, if you have "face," it's not really an issue.

However insignificant the matter might be, if you deny someone "face," you've got an insurmountable problem.

If you don't even care about "face," then what are you doing in the Jianghu world? Go back to farming.

Of course, putting it back into perspective, the cultural and educational levels among the Jianghu People aren't generally high, and their understanding of "face" is mostly superficial.

At most, it boils down to "if you don't let me show off, I'm going to kill you."

True badassery isn't something you can fake.

The real badassery of Third Master Ding isn't that he knew Fengshui or traded in local goods. The key point was that even after his paramour threatened the police station and got taken away by the Special Service Bureau, he himself miraculously avoided any repercussions and could still hop about town merrily.
