Jiang Qing likewise cupped his hands. "Elder Qingchuan, if my sect is willing to pay, could we take Lu Nan away in exchange for a Top-grade Spirit Artifact?"
At those words, Qingchuan and Ye Hanyan were both taken aback, their gazes sweeping over the three in astonishment.
One had to know that even to Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, a Top-grade Spirit Artifact was a rare and precious treasure.
Yet they were offering one so readily for a single person.
Could it be that they had also discovered what was different about Lu Nan? Qingchuan's heart skipped a beat as he discreetly glanced at Ye Hanyan.
He found her eyes flickering as well. "Grand Elder, have they also discovered what is different about Lu Nan?"
"I do not know! But judging by the situation, it is highly likely. It seems it will be difficult to keep Lu Nan," Qingchuan sighed.
Then he smiled at Jiang Qing. "Sect Leader Jiang, what a generous move. You are offering a Top-grade Spirit Artifact just like that.
"Lu Nan is merely an Outer Disciple with poor talent. How could he be worth this much?"
Jiang Qing merely smiled without answering, staring steadily at Qingchuan and the other.
His stance was exceedingly clear: today, he would take Lu Nan away no matter what.
"Sect Leader Jiang, you must at least give this old man an explanation, must you not? Otherwise, you truly will not be taking Lu Nan away today!" Qingchuan said flatly with a frown.
Jiang Qing frowned as well, then turned to look at Liu Qilan.
"Though Lu Nan's cultivation talent is lacking, Jiang has discovered that his Artifact Crafting Talent is quite remarkable!!
"Rather than let him waste away in the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, it would be better to let him leave.
