Lian Dai spoke with utmost seriousness, her tone indeed carrying a request for assistance.
Dignity aside, she was willing to make concessions when it came to the advancement of her bloodline.
From the moment Lian Dai had thought to ask Master Qixing for help in raising her Creator star level, she knew she would always be at a disadvantage in her dealings with him.
Creators among humans always liked to have control over affairs, and if Master Qixing were to assist her in elevating her bloodline, she would have to pay a hefty price beyond these external offerings.
Lian Dai was pleading to Fang Mu in hopes that he would convey her stance verbatim to Master Qixing, thus facilitating her chance to attain a bloodline elevation.
Under normal circumstances, every transaction and collaboration involved strategic interplay, but there really wasn't much point in playing such games between Lian Dai and Master Qixing.
