Li Xian courteously asked, "Chief Shi, do you need assistance with this matter?" Shi Yufei replied with a smile, "If it involves seeking pleasures or gang disputes that require fighting with bloodshed, I will surely seek your help. More manpower is always beneficial. But for the task of finding the cauldron, familiarity with the place is key. Your presence would be of no use, and given your fame, following hastily would only add confusion. Just pay it no mind and focus on your training."
Li Xian clasped his hands in farewell, watching the carriage depart into the distance, letting out a gentle sigh as he returned to Cyan Ox Residence. The rare opportunity to seize the cauldron ended without incident, leaving him feeling desolate. He quickly recovered, thinking this small setback is not worth mentioning. The Martial Arts path is fraught with obstacles, requiring more courage and strength with each trial!
