"Can I have the Body-Cultivating Furnace back now?" Jiang Baiye bit her lip, speaking with a hint of subdued grievance.
"Not yet," Han Li flatly refused.
"You..." Jiang Baiye glared at him, visibly frustrated. Was that bastard Han Li going back on his word?
With an indifferent expression, Han Li spoke directly, "Before that, there are some matters to attend to, and I will still need the Body-Cultivating Furnace for a while."
It wasn't that all troubles would be resolved just because Jiang Baiye had agreed; there were still issues that needed his intervention to wrap up.
"What matters? How much longer will you need it?" Jiang Baiye had no choice; given her current predicament, she had little room to maneuver. She only hoped that Han Li wouldn't go back on his promise.
"First, bring him back to the Sect without revealing anything about me. Pacify your master, then find an excuse to go out for experience and reunite with me later."
