No matter how much the others scorned him, Xie Ningyuan remained perfectly composed. "If there are no Spirit Stones, I'm going up to rest. It's up to you whether you pay or not."
The group felt a surge of frustration, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity.
While they were hesitating, Lu Sangjiu decisively tossed out ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones. "Here, take them!"
With her breaking the ice, the others no longer hesitated and generously opened their wallets.
Only Gu Jue looked a little awkward... because he had given basically all his Spirit Stones to Lu Sangjiu, leaving him with only five Mid-grade Spirit Stones intended for his inn lodgings.
So, even though he was desperate to hear about his master's past, he couldn't produce that many Spirit Stones.
Noticing everyone's gaze turning toward him, Gu Jue's face grew warm. He pursed his lips and stood up. "You all carry on."
A slight smile touched Xie Ningyuan's lips. He was inwardly pleased.
