"How can this be allowed?!"
Qin Luo refused without hesitation, inwardly cursing him with exasperation:
How can I get a refund if you don't take it?
Now, the one thing he most eagerly anticipates returning is none other than Dongfang Jinyao's radiant image of the sun and moon.
This Dharma Image occupies a high position of tenth on the ranking list. Just thinking about it makes Qin Luo's heart surge. Although he doesn't know why the Dharma Image has not returned yet, he still has the greatest expectation for it.
Following closely behind was the return of Dan Bingli's Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image. Although this Dharma Image ranked thirtieth, he valued it highly as well.
In Qin Luo's plan, the return of these two Dharma forms was listed as one of his top priorities after breaking through to the Saint Realm.
“This is your legacy, this is the opportunity you deserve, I cannot accept it.”
Seeing the complete lack of covetousness for the inheritance in Qin Luo's eyes, Dan Bingli felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She shook her head and glanced at him with a look that was both annoyed and not annoyed:
"You always think of me first! It would be a waste of its value to have this legacy in my hands."
"You should know that this Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image was the reliance of our ancestors when they traversed countless worlds. Back then, our ancestors relied on this Dharma Image to overcome all obstacles and build up their current reputation in a world full of powerful beings."
"I see that your current cultivation level is not far from the Saint Realm. If you cultivate this Dharma Form after you break through to the Saint Realm, you will definitely be able to raise your strength by several levels."
At this point, she took Qin Luo's hands in her own and gripped them tightly:
"Please stop refusing, okay? I only hope you can become stronger. This legacy was tailor-made for you. Only when it's in your hands can I truly feel at ease."
Looking at the hopeful Dan Bingli before him, Qin Luo shook his head again, his gaze revealing an unwavering determination:
“I understand your intentions, but this inheritance belongs to your Ice Emperor lineage. I cannot take what belongs to someone else.”
As he spoke, Qin Luo pulled his hand away from Dan Bingli's grasp. A flash of light appeared in his palm, revealing a small jade bottle. The bottle was lustrous and shimmered with a precious light.
Qin Luo handed the jade bottle to Dan Bingli and said with a smile:
"That's settled then. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore. Let's not talk about this now. Look what I brought you."
Dan Bingli was unwilling to give up so easily. She bit her lower lip, her eyes full of resentment. She obviously wanted to persuade him again, but when she met Qin Luo's increasingly serious gaze, the words she was about to say stopped abruptly.
After a brief pause, she finally gave in and angrily reached out to snatch the jade bottle from Qin Luo's hand, her actions carrying a hint of defiance.
"You're always bullying me!" Dan Bingli clutched the jade bottle in her hand, then turned her head away, refusing to look at Qin Luo, and muttered under her breath:
"This is clearly all for your own good, so why can't you understand it?"
Qin Luo sighed helplessly, reached out and turned her shoulder to face him.
"Bingli, I know you're doing this for my sake, but this inheritance is of great significance to you, and I really can't accept it."
"I knew you were still angry with me, which is why you're so stubbornly refusing to accept my good intentions. So how can I possibly accept this gift from you?"
"You know, I've never cared what this legacy means to me; all I care about is you..."
Dan Bingli reverted to her usual stubbornness, forcefully shoving the jade bottle back into Qin Luo's hand, as if to say, "If you don't accept it, I won't give up."
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo's eyes were full of helplessness. He then raised his hand and cupped Dan Bingli's face, forcing her to look at him.
“Bingli, I know you mean well, but that’s precisely why I hope you can think more about yourself. Now, my cultivation has reached the Spirit Tribulation stage, and I’m only one step away from breaking through to the Saint Realm.”
"And you, time flies, nearly two years have passed, but your cultivation has only reached the late stage of the Divine Travel Realm."
"If you don't accept this legacy, have you ever considered that the gap between us will only widen? Are you willing to be just a pretty face by my side, all show and no substance?"
“I know you won’t do that. That’s definitely not the Dan Bingli I know. The you I know is resilient and strong, a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me no matter what difficulties we face.”
These words struck Dan Bingli like a heavy hammer blow. She opened her mouth to refute, but no sound came out.
She only thought about making Qin Luo stronger, but neglected her own growth and the potential gap between the two of them.
Seeing the wavering in her eyes, Qin Luo felt a pang of helplessness and silently grumbled to himself:
Goodness, persuading her to accept the tradition is harder than holding down a pig that's struggling desperately during Chinese New Year!
“Bingli, I understand your feelings, but we are partners who walk side by side. To move forward hand in hand and support each other is the most basic understanding between us.”
“I know that in your eyes, you hope that I can obtain this inheritance and thus reach a higher level of strength. But how could you not know that deep in my heart I also yearn for you to shine with your own brilliance on the path of cultivation.”
Dan Bingli's gaze lingered on Qin Luo's determined face, and with each glance, the stubbornness and obstinacy in her eyes would fade a little.
She understood that Qin Luo's determination was not due to indifference towards the inheritance, nor was it a pretense, but rather stemmed from his expectations of her as his Daoist partner.
If the Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Form contained in this inheritance were to be spread, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath even in countless worlds.
Countless people dream of obtaining this Dharma form, and are willing to risk everything for it.
