Choosing one person would inevitably offend the other. If Ye Wenxin chose neither, both would surely persist.
"Well, I guess I'll accept graciously..." Ye Wenxin said, reaching out to take both tokens. However, both sisters quickly retracted their hands, reluctant to give their tokens at the same time.
"What, are you having second thoughts?" Ye Wenxin teased, feigning curiosity as she questioned their hesitation.
"Master said you can only choose one person's token," Liu Yansheng spoke faster than Qian Bingxue, naturally explaining on her behalf.
"But one token seems unreliable. If one is lost, having another would be great insurance, don’t you think?" Ye Wenxin thought of Hall Master Bai Chi's plan and couldn't help but question the wisdom behind it.
Calling Bai Chi senile seemed unfair at times; she was occasionally lucid. Yet for all her cleverness, would she really offer up both of her top disciples? After all, these two were likely candidates for inheriting Asura Hall.
Liu Yansheng made a face, finally tossing both tokens to Ye Wenxin with a grumble. "Hurry and bind them with your blood. I need to report back."
Despite her words, it was clear Liu Yansheng was reluctant to give the partner token to Ye Wenxin.
"If it's such a bother, let's just forget it," Ye Wenxin teased, pushing the tokens back, pretending to be troubled.
Liu Yansheng bristled, annoyed that Ye Wenxin acted as if she were the one being put out when, in reality, she was gaining the most.
"You realize, the road ahead is fraught with dangers. This token lets me know if you're in trouble, so I can come to help," Liu Yansheng insisted, explaining the token's importance. Without Bai Chi's insistence, she wouldn't have offered the token again.
Even if she liked Ye Wenxin, the proud demon Liu Yansheng couldn't easily swallow her pride.
Ye Wenxin said nothing, not refuting the truth in Liu Yansheng's words. However, having this token meant she couldn't ignore them if they were in danger.
The aid of Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng was far superior to anything Qian Bingxue or Liu Yansheng could offer. Bai Chi's plan was brilliant; remembering the documents she received, Ye Wenxin knew she owed Asura Hall.
Yet Bai Chi's methods left her with mixed feelings.
"So, Wenxin, do you want them or not?" Liu Yansheng and Qian Bingxue were unaware of the underlying issues. Seeing Ye Wenxin's reluctant expression, though unsaid, her dissatisfaction was clear.
"If I take them, I want both tokens. If not, I want neither," Ye Wenxin stated after some thought.
Liu Yansheng huffed, "So young and already so greedy. You'll be a heartbreaker when you grow up!" She raised her hand to flick Ye Wenxin's head, warning her against greed.
Having one sister's aid was rare; now Ye Wenxin wanted both. Liu Yansheng dreaded the thought of arguing with Qian Bingxue while rushing to help.
"This isn't greed; it's a double safety net. You can call me for help too, but only if I'm available," Ye Wenxin promised with a smile, ignoring Liu Yansheng's grumbles.
