Lu Ze looked at the mission prompt and took a deep breath.
"Master."
Lu Ze quietly patted Nangong Yuan on the back and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think... is there any chance that every Elder here might give me an Artifact or something for no reason?"
Nangong Yuan gave a smile that did not reach his eyes. "Want each of them to give you some cultivation too?"

Nangong Yuan glared, white spiritual energy gathering in his palm.
Lu Ze promptly ran away.
"See? I gave them the opportunity, but nobody wanted it..."
