After this, although Xiang Shaolong continued to search for Fang Zheng as per Ying Zheng's orders, he never found him again. In fact, Fang Zheng had already decided not to appear before Xiang Shaolong anymore.
After interacting with Xiang Shaolong a few times, he discovered the protagonist's biggest flaw, which is—emotional softness.
Not only is he emotionally soft toward women, but also toward enemies, even to the point of being soft-hearted toward enemies who wish to kill him. In a way, Xiang Shaolong is reminiscent of a benevolent saint. Once this was confirmed to be unchangeable, Fang Zheng found himself helpless.
Xiang Shaolong's emotional softness and sentimentality ultimately led him to his fate, not without reason.
Although in the novel, Ying Zheng's act of wanting to kill Xiang Shaolong is attributed to the strategy of killing the hounds when the hares are caught, Fang Zheng believes Xiang Shaolong himself bears significant responsibility.
