Bai Menghui said, "Of course we have the sincerity to show." As he spoke, he tossed over a red jade box.
Xu Yi caught it and opened it. Inside lay a full ten Golden Wish Beads.
Xu Yi put away the red jade box and said calmly, "Very well. I only wanted to save face and see some sincerity. I'm not particular about what kind of gift it is. Otherwise, with the Pang Family's standing, these mere ten Golden Wish Beads would hardly be worth presenting."
Bai Menghui grumbled inwardly, What an ignorant fool. He really knows how to take an inch and demand a mile. Who does he think he is, turning his nose up at ten Golden Wish Beads? Aloud, he said, "Naturally. With Brother Xu's talent, no gift could be unworthy of his status."

Xu Yi waved a hand. "Brother Bai, you flatter me. Now that the main matter is settled, I won't keep you. I have urgent business to attend to and must deal with it right away."
"If Brother Xu has urgent business, go ahead," Bai Menghui said. "Don't mind me. I'll simply wait here for you."
"What else is there? You may as well say it all at once, Brother Bai. If I can do it, I will. If I can't, I'll tell you, so you won't have to keep worrying about it."
"There is indeed one more thing. It seems the two magic treasures belonging to Pang Qingyun are still with you, Brother Xu. Keeping them won't do you much
