Li Qiye chuckled awkwardly. "Well... I know you haven't been thrilled with me since that incident," he said. "Besides, I was in a rush back then. I came and went so quickly that I didn't get to catch up with an old friend."
"You only came because you have the gall to ask to borrow that *thing*, haven't you?" the Ancestor Flow Master sneered.
Li Qiye gave another awkward chuckle and rubbed his hands together. "You know what I'm planning this time. I'm going all out, and I need a few aces up my sleeve. I've already gathered most of what I need, but this won't be easy. I have to blast that place open... some secrets can't be hidden forever, after all! So, I was hoping to borrow your little item. It would make success more certain, don't you think?"
The Ancestor Flow Master was silent, as if he hadn't heard a word Li Qiye said.
