Facing Xu Nian's words, Shen Rongyin showed no intention of pressing the issue further.
No one knew what she was truly thinking. At least, her current silence spoke volumes.
Xu Nian couldn't be bothered with her any longer and instead turned his attention to Kong Qingquan and Zhao Qixian.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for any lack of hospitality," Xu Nian said, setting down his teacup and gesturing respectfully. "My humble place indeed lacks the resources of the major sects."
Kong Qingquan shook his head with a smile. "Sect Leader Xu is too modest. We visited today solely concerning the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure. Could Sect Leader Xu perhaps shed some light on it?"
