Li Tianming's expression turned cold as well.
Forty silver coins were indeed a considerable sum to him.
But they would not change his circumstances.
Sequence Potions, however, were a different matter.
He had never expected Qin Siyang to receive eighty bottles of Sequence Potion in one go!
If half went to him, they could help him advance considerably!
With a little more effort, even reaching Sequence Level Four would be within his grasp.
So he intended to forgo the silver coins and ask for Sequence Potions instead.
But Qin Siyang saw through his intentions.
Before Li Tianming could finish speaking, Qin Siyang cut him off.
Then he placed the pouch containing forty silver coins in front of him.
Li Tianming forced a smile. "Qin Siyang, you wouldn't have received so many rewards this time without me acting as your [Insurance Provider]."
"Yes, which is why I'm giving you forty silver coins. That's also what we agreed on beforehand."
"But silver coins are useless to me right now. They're more useful to you, aren't they?"
Qin Siyang studied Li Tianming. "Principal Li, do you understand the rules of a deal?"
"We already agreed on how to divide the rewards once the job was done. Now that it's over, you want to go back on your word?"
"I'm not going back on my word. I simply need Sequence Potions."
"Who doesn't need Sequence Potions? Do you think we hunt gods for this little bit of money?"
"Principal Li, if we'd agreed beforehand that you'd get half the Sequence Potions afterward, I wouldn't object. But we clearly agreed to split the money. You never asked for the Sequence Potions."
"You can't change your mind just because you've seen how many Sequence Potions I received, can you?"
The corner of Li Tianming's mouth twitched.
