"I don't really want to involve my uncle in this." Xiao Lian said, after hearing Lee's idea.
"You misunderstood me!" Lee laughed, "I'm suggesting we go to the Refining Hall on the way back to find out how much it costs to make the two items I need. I could do it without you, but I have no clue which way to go!"
"Oh? I thought you wanted to use me to get an artifact from my uncle." Xiao Lian said, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Who actually is your uncle?" Lee got curious.
"Well … he's the elder of the Refining Hall." Xiao Lian said, almost whispering and at the same time throwing wary glances around, afraid someone might've overheard him.
"One of the nine elders of the sect?" Lee stopped in his tracks, looking at the guy in disbelief, but Xiao Lian nodded with a downcast expression. Apparently he wasn't happy about it.
