Duan Ling Tian wanted the Inscription Pen in his hand very much. However, he had his own principles.
Who would not want a Nine Star Inscription Pen?
However, as the saying went, 'No gentleman should take away somebody else's love.' He could tell Bai Li Hong did not want part with the Inscription Pen judging from his hesitation earlier. Therefore, it made sense that Duan Ling Tian should not accept the Inscription Pen. Otherwise, it would be too selfish of him.
When Bai Li Hong saw Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to take the Inscription Pen no matter what, the only thing he could do was take it back. After taking it back, he said with determination, "Junior Brother, I know you're unwilling to take the thing I love away from me… I'll take the pen back temporarily, but you must agree to one condition."
"Do tell, Senior Brother," Duan Ling Tian said.
