"Why can't I buy it?" Su Yanling asked, her eyes holding onto hope despite the looming feeling of rejection she sensed from Xia Tian. She knew there must be a reason he wouldn't sell it to her.
Xia Tian's expression grew heavy, his reluctance to deny her evident in his demeanor. It was clear he wanted to give her the flower, but something was holding him back.
Wang Wenshu was astonished by Xia Tian's acting skills. "What is he really doing there? Playing with her?" she wondered aloud.
Ye Suyin's eyes of truth revealed only what Xia Tian wanted her to see, and she could see that he truly couldn't sell the flower to Su Yanling right now. He wasn't lying.
Indeed, Xia Tian couldn't just give away something as valuable as the celestial yin lotus for free. Even Su Yanling's entire wealth couldn't compensate for its worth.
The Little qilin watched in amazement as her master expertly tricked people.
