A Small Favor

"W-Wait… Let's not be so hasty. You haven't even given me a chance to explain the benefits…" Gu Tan immediately began panicking, as he didn't expect to be rejected so quickly.

"I don't need to hear the benefits because I won't join the Gu Family no matter what you offer me. Sorry." Yuan rejected him once again, this time being more stern, even a little brutal.

Gu Tan began sweating profusely after hearing this, and he asked, "C-Can I at least ask why you're refusing us? Did you already join another family?"

"No. I just don't want to join any families, especially the Seven Legacy Families." Yuan answered.

Gu Tan wondered if one of the Seven Legacy Families had offended him.

"I-It seems like something has happened between one of the Seven Legacy Families and you, but I can promise you that our Gu Family is different." Gu Tan tried a different approach.

However, Yuan still shook his head and said, "Don't bother. I won't join."
