If Leng Yanru had deliberately maintained an air of mystery around Qin Li, then the Patriarch of the Qian Family was so straightforward it left one at a loss for words.
"Young Master Qin, please forgive my sudden visit." Patriarch Qian beamed as he clasped his hands in a salute to Qin Li.
"Not at all. In fact, I should be the one visiting you, Patriarch Qian. As for the Qian Family's support for my own, I… will never forget it!" Qin Li returned the salute with a smile and ushered Patriarch Qian into the main hall.
The moment Patriarch Qian sat down, he immediately smiled and said, "I have come today primarily to ask for your opinion on a matter, Young Master Qin."
"Oh? If you have a request, Patriarch Qian, please speak freely. There's no need for such pleasantries."
"Very well, I'll be direct then." The refined, middle-aged man wore a modest smile. "The Qian Family wishes to become your loyal ally, Young Master Qin! In the days to come, we want to advance and retreat as one!"
