By then, it would be too late for regrets.
If he agreed to his request, there would be two possible outcomes.
The first outcome, they cure Zining's illness, he lends them the Golden Pearl, and gives a favor to Chu Yuxiao, also avoiding conflict between the two parties.
The second outcome, they fail to cure Zining's illness, he wouldn't need to lend the Golden Pearl to them, and presumably, Chu Yuxiao wouldn't go back on his word and try to snatch the Golden Pearl, thus he would be able to keep it.
Weighing these two outcomes time and again, Xuanyuan Bei felt that both were acceptable. Moreover, he considered the probability of the last outcome to be greater.
Zining hadn't spoken for three years, how could they make him speak in such a short period?
Right, he could also impose a deadline, which would increase the likelihood of the second outcome even more.
Yet, in his heart, he still hoped for the first outcome.
