"Not what? You think we're too weak and not qualified enough to talk to you?" Li Qing asked angrily.
The old man neither confirmed nor denied but nodded slightly, "My original intent was to drive you away and then switch to someone from the Ninth Bureau with whom we can properly discuss this matter and settle it so that it ends well for you, me, and everyone else."
"But who could have thought that even though you are of low realm, you actually have two treasures in your possession... I truly didn't think of that."
