Yang Fei fell silent.
After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I still don't trust you; your existence is a great potential threat to me and my people. Keeping you around is too dangerous."
The artifact spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was shocked and hastily said, "No, I absolutely will not harm you or those around you. Besides, with the Soul Binding Rope on me, I can never escape your control and would not dare betray you."
Yang Fei said, "That's just your word. How can I trust it?"
The artifact spirit was almost in tears.
It said helplessly, "I... I have no way to make you believe me. Even my former master, Taoist Wuji, and I were just close friends; we were always cooperators. With my help, he grew quickly and became stronger, while he earnestly nurtured me with great effort, eventually allowing me to develop spiritual wisdom."
Yang Fei was slightly moved, feeling somewhat longing.
