Seeing the old village chief become so agitated, Su Ran's heart sank, and he thought to himself that trouble was brewing.
"To want to open the passage is absolutely impossible!"
The irritation in the old village chief's eyes appeared again, his dry arms shaking rapidly, "Doing this, you will bring disaster upon the villagers of Overturning Water! Don't even think about it!"
Watching the old village chief replay the scene from earlier, Su Ran knew that the guy was up to something again.
"Old sir, this bit of money is a token of my respect; please use it to buy some nourishments to improve your health."
Su Ran knew very well that if he wanted to continue with his mission, he needed to 'recharge' again. He took out five gold coins and passed them over with a smiling face, hoping for the old village chief to have an interesting change of expression.
"This... still cannot be disclosed!"
