"Dao Friend Ning, given what has happened at the Ten Thousand Realms Auction, it stands to reason that I shouldn't even have the time to be here. However, since the auction house has suffered losses this time, aside from asking for your help, Dao Friend Ning, I really have no other options." Seeing that Ning Cheng did not admit to it, Xi Lin decided not to dwell on the matter, convinced as he was that Ning Cheng had the Soil Essence, ninety-nine percent of it, in fact.
Ning Cheng knew what Xi Lin meant, and he replied very calmly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, Xi Admin, but rather that I'm powerless in this situation."
