Ye Qing was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Honored Purple-robed Elder, there are other matters that I can assist you with. However, on this particular issue, I must beg your pardon as I cannot help you."
The faces of a few people nearby changed at his words. In their view, for the Purple Robe Lama to personally come and discuss this matter with Ye Qing was already showing him great respect. Furthermore, the Purple Robe Lama had been so courteous in his speech, which already made them feel somewhat displeased. Under such circumstances, Ye Qing's outright refusal greatly angered the crowd. If it weren't for the Purple Robe Lama's presence, someone would have certainly lashed out.
The Purple Robe Lama hesitated slightly and asked, "Mr. Ye, are you worried that I won't keep my promise?"
