The elder's eyes had been fixed on Qi Tian, hoping to discern something from Qi Tian's expression, but no matter how long he stared, he was unable to make out anything.
Seeing that Qi Tian remained silent for a long time, the elder sighed and said, "You should really think about what I've said, Qi Tian. Whenever you're ready, come to me with the treasures you plan to offer, and I'll take you to meet the high ranks of the National Master Manor. Right now, you're unwilling to do anything for the National Master Manor, yet you expect me to introduce you—that's impossible. It's not that I'm unwilling, but there simply isn't a chance of success. With this kind of thing, either we don't do it or we succeed on the first try. Too much hesitation and we might ruin what could have been possible, which would be bad for all of us."
After speaking, the elder stood up and walked towards the exit of the teahouse.
