Dan Bingli pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but it quickly turned into determination. She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound as steady as possible, but her icy tone remained unchanged.

"Could I have that stone?"

Dan Bingli spoke, and as always, she was concise and to the point, expressing her purpose in just a few words.

After saying that, she seemed to realize it was inappropriate and added:

“I…I will trade with something of equal value.”

But as soon as she said it, she knew in her heart that it was just empty talk. What could she possibly have that was equivalent in value to the Primordial Bloodline Stone? Let alone something of equal value, she would have difficulty even offering something of slightly decent quality to exchange for it.

At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. With her thin skin as a woman, she simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "borrow," even though she knew in her heart that she could only owe it for now and find a way to repay it later, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Looking at Dan Bingli's appearance before him, Qin Luo's heart stirred slightly. The situation was now in his hands. After a moment's contemplation, the Ancient Bloodline Stone he had won at auction appeared in his hand, and he slowly said:

“Since the young lady is so eager for this stone, she has even offered to exchange it for something of equal value. However, this is no small matter, and I, Qin, have my own considerations.”

At this point, Qin Luo looked at Dan Bingli with gentle eyes, his words carrying a hint of politeness and probing.

"I have not yet asked for your name, young lady. I wonder if you could bestow your name upon me so that I may consider this matter more carefully."
