Tantai Ming reasoned with emotion, "Shao Jinyang, I promise you, once I ensure Lu Zhanyu's safety, I will definitely come back for you. After all, you already know, I certainly won't stay too far from Lu Zhanyu—you'll have plenty of opportunities to find me."
He couldn't let Lu Zhanyu get hurt; for Lu Zhanyu, he was willing to humbly beg the human before him.
After a pause, Shao Jinyang asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Lu Zhanyu?"
Tantai Ming replied, "I owe him."
Shao Jinyang said, "He's only eight years old."
Tantai Ming explained, "I owe his parents, and since they are no longer here, it's equivalent to owing him."
Shao Jinyang queried, "His parents?"
Tantai Ming responded, "Yes, his parents graced me with kindness."
Shao Jinyang commented, "That sounds far-fetched."
