"Friend Li, really, there's no need to be so formal. Our friendship is not dependent on gifts."
Chen Dengming said, a polite smile on his face. When he saw the jade talisman in Li Rong's hand, a hint of curiosity crossed his face as he poured a cup of tea for Li Rong.
"Friend Li? This is...?"
Li Rong stared deeply into Chen Dengming's eyes and smiled, "Friend Gao, this is your new identity. If you need it, in seven days, you can use this Route Guide to join the Changchun Sect. But remember, once you use this identity, you must completely abandon your identity as Gao Hu and not mention it to anyone.
You need to start anew and cut ties with all your neighbors here, including me."
Chen Dengming's heart jolted, and he furrowed his brows. After careful consideration under Li Rong's gaze, he finally picked up the Route Guide from Li Rong's hand.
Indeed, he was deep in thought, trying to comprehend the meaning and risks implied by Li Rong's unexpected move.
