Lin Mu almost said something in response.
If the two spirits knew the violent internal battle he had fought against those bloodline remnants, they might not have sounded so confident about that explanation.
But he kept that thought to himself.
The Vermilion Bird continued calmly, "Whether you believe you deserve a reward or not is irrelevant. Our judgment is already made."
The Azure Dragon added, "Therefore we insist."
Lin Mu stood there for a moment, clearly uncertain about what to say next.
It was only then that the two small snakes nudged him.
Xiao Yin slithered closer and lightly tapped his leg with her tail. Xiao Yang leaned in from the other side.
"Master," Xiao Yin whispered quietly, "these old grandpa and grandma seem nice."
Xiao Yang nodded in agreement. "And they are offering gifts."
The twins had a very simple philosophy regarding such situations.
When powerful elders offered treasures, one usually accepted them.
Lin Mu sighed quietly.
