Xu Jian flatly refused; even if he couldn't protect anything else, he now had to preserve his face.
Xu Lan anxiously stepped forward, pleading, "Dad, now is not the time to be impulsive!"
Xu Jian narrowed his eyes, appearing especially calculating. "Right now, it's not just me under threat, does Xiao Qingcang think he's not afraid? Both of us are on equal footing, aren't we? Why should I be the one to approach him? If he wants to make peace, he should come to see me, not the other way around!"
Xu Lan vigorously shook her head, trying to dismiss her father's idea. "Dad, it doesn't matter who seeks whom first. Moreover, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to you..."
"Enough, now is not the time for you to persuade me, but for you to persuade him! Can't you tell what's more important?" Xu Jian sharply rebuked his daughter!
"Dad..."
"Don't say another word, me going to find him is out of the question!"
