An Xiaoran remained completely calm, refusing even to glance at the box. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother, but I have already found a substitute and refined it successfully a few days ago. Since this item is so precious, please take it back."
The middle-aged man smiled faintly, set the box aside, and said gently, "Junior Sister, the Grand Patriarch has only your best interests at heart. Since you are not of direct descent to the Tian Sect, obtaining more profound alchemy heritage requires you to choose a disciple of the Tian Sect to be your cultivation partner. We have known each other for a long time, and I am sure you can feel how I feel about you."
Xiaoran's expression immediately turned cold, a trace of frost emerged in her beautiful eyes, and she said word by word, "Senior Brother, do not mention this matter again. If you do, don't blame me for turning hostile."
