"I... I think I should be able to repay you in some way, Elder... It's something so valuable to me." At this point, Xu Qi's voice was sincere with his eyes flickering with uncertainty. If he only accepted without truly giving back something, he might build immunity about it in the future. That any gift presented to him was something he deserved. He didn't want to be that person. He wanted to keep his head on the ground as he navigated this new world that was far from the safe and peaceful modern Earth.
Elder Sun's gaze grew contemplative as she studied him. She was fascinated. If it was Zhang Han who was presented by it, she believed that his forehead would already be planted on the ground, expressing his gratitude.
But Xu Qi here was extremely different. While he sounded like he wanted to reject her generosity, his eyes still carried the same desire to acquire it. He was so humble that it felt like he was too cautious to be indebted to someone.
