"But it's just as well that you're alive. At least you helped me trade the yellow-silver star ore I had no use for into Vine Heart materials I could actually use."
Zhong Dingming's plain clothes and honest appearance clashed jarringly with the words coming out of his mouth, leaving Qin Siyang deeply uncomfortable.
