After listening to Kui Huan's words, Han Li smiled faintly and said calmly, "The only benefit between me and the two senior brothers is related to that monster fox. If it's not about that, what else could it be?"
Han Li's expression seemed extremely composed.
Upon hearing this, Kui Huan opened his mouth but seemed speechless.
On the other hand, Senior Brother Wang sighed and said, "Brother Han is indeed exceptionally intelligent. It was indeed a mistake with that Snow Cloud Fox. We, senior brothers, wanted to sell the monster beast earlier. So, after parting ways with Brother Han, we went to the market. But after walking a short distance, I felt uneasy, so I asked Kui Junior Brother to open the Biyun Bag and check. The result..."
At this point, Senior Brother Wang paused, revealing a strange expression on his face.
"The result is that the monster fox disappeared without a trace from the Biyun Bag, which is quite bizarre," Kui Huan lamented anxiously.
"No trace?" Han Li furrowed his brows lightly, pondering as if considering the true meaning behind these words.
Seeing Han Li's thoughtful expression, Senior Brother Wang couldn't help but feel extremely troubled.
Although Han Li's cultivation level wasn't high, he was proficient in talisman making and possessed several mysterious artifacts. Therefore, Senior Brother Wang had already decided to make friends with him. But before they could formally establish a relationship, this embarrassing incident occurred.
If he had sufficient resources himself, he could have been generous and covered Han Li's share with spirit stones to leave a good impression. However, both he and several fellow disciples were short on spirit stones. Even if they wanted to win Han Li's favor, it seemed difficult now.
Thinking of this, a look of dismay flashed across Senior Brother Wang's face. However, he forced himself to maintain composure and said, "I understand that this situation may seem unbelievable, but it truly happened. Regardless, since Brother Han entrusted the spiritual fox to us personally and it has suddenly vanished, I owe Brother Han an explanation. I've already instructed the others to sell the Yellow Ginseng and will soon send the spirit stones owed to Brother Han. As for the spirit stones you were supposed to receive, once we have enough, we will promptly make up for it."
As Senior Brother Wang spoke, Kui Huan's expression changed, and he anxiously interjected, "Brother! For us, this is quite a significant amount. Even if we all contribute, it will still take two or three years. During this time, without spirit stones to buy pills, it will delay our cultivation."
Senior Brother Wang shook his head, seemingly wanting to say something. However, at this moment, Han Li suddenly spoke up.
"Why bother, senior brothers! I don't recall saying that I don't believe you. The Snow Cloud Fox is skilled in escape techniques, so it's not surprising that it vanished from the Biyun Bag. I initially wanted to remind Junior Brother Kui, but I felt it was inappropriate to say so, hence remained silent. As for the matter of the spirit stones, there's no need to mention it. Just return the borrowed ones, and that will be sufficient. I haven't suffered any loss," Han Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Kui Huan immediately showed great joy and applauded, "I knew Brother is a magnanimous person. Although this matter was our fault, we truly have no spirit stones on hand. With Brother Han's background, I believe you won't mind this amount. Brother Han, I consider you a friend from now on."
This remark made Kui Huan happy since he didn't need to produce any spirit stones.
However, Senior Brother Wang, upon hearing Han Li's words, showed a hesitant expression on his face. After a while, he smiled bitterly, "Brother Han, for being so magnanimous, I, on behalf of my fellow disciples, am grateful for your understanding. If you ever need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask us. As long as it's within our capabilities, we won't refuse."
