Seeing Daoist Wang's high moral integrity, Han Siying showed no change in expression. She had dealt with this old man quite a bit, and naturally knew how to handle him.
Instead of pleading, Han Siying continued to bring out gold coins, and in a short while, piled up another mountain of gold coins.
And so, Han Siying shelled out over four thousand gold coins for this task!
"Well..."
Daoist Wang hesitated, already entranced by the two dazzling piles of gold coins. He barely kept up the act. After coughing a few times to cover his gaffe, he said to Han Siying, "As I've always told you, gold is mere material wealth. For us cultivators, it doesn't even warrant a glance. You think presenting these gold coins will earn my extra regard? That's a joke!"
Su Ran picked up that Daoist Wang particularly stressed the word 'these'.
"Since esteemed Daoist Wang is so high-minded, my piles of gold coins must seem quite foolish. In that case, I will bid my leave, so as not to disturb you."
