Elv initially planned to seek revenge in the future, but she was surprised when Lu Zhen managed to defeat the red-haired man. This was a significant surprise for her, and it led her to make a decision. After considering her situation, she decided to enter into a contract with Lu Zhen.
"Maybe he's Heaven's Chosen," Elv pondered. She held a faint suspicion that Lu Zhen might be Heaven's Chosen, which explained why she hadn't used any tricks on him until now. After all, if he was a Heaven's Chosen, her tricks would likely backfire, unless she had an overwhelming strength advantage.

A top-grade qi stone weighing about 10 grams could only produce a strand of mana. Perhaps that's why he had been hiding, although he had been bold enough to bait martial artists into a trap.
