"What! Does Senior Yu not trust me?"
When Tian Yu learned that the Yang Family would not accept the Marrow Cleansing Pill and was unwilling to interfere in Sanglu Valley's affairs, a strange glint immediately flashed through his eyes as he urgently asked.
Elder Yu noticed the change, which only further confirmed Yang Lingqing's speculation.
He shook his head and sighed. "Alas... Town Chief Tian misunderstands. It is not that we are unwilling, but that we truly cannot..."
Elder Yu then brought out the prepared explanation, saying that Yang Lingrui had returned from the Golden Scale Dharma Assembly with a large order for talismans for the Yang Family.
"That man is a ninth-level Qi Gathering Bamboo Forest Rogue Cultivator from Feng Ling. Our family must refine thirty-six Fire Talismans before Great Heat this year. Time is tight and the task is heavy; we truly cannot spare anyone to help."

When Tian Yu saw the Immortal Patrol Division's seal on the contract, he could no longer make any further demands.
