Su Yu's fingers gently caressed the cover of the Secret Manual as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
In the end, he spoke. "My apologies."
Su Yu looked up, his gaze clear, and slowly pushed the Secret Manual back. "I appreciate the generous offer, Miss Qian, but I am just a novice Martial Artist with little strength. The strangeness in the depths of the Black Water River... I dare not get involved."
'With my peerless talent, as long as I cultivate diligently, I'll eventually make a name for myself.'
'The risks involved in this matter are simply too great.'
The light in Qian Qinghong's eyes dimmed slightly.
'So he refused after all?'
'Well, it's only human nature to seek advantages and avoid harm. In the current situation, who would dare to rashly enter the depths of the Black Water River?'
'This Su Yu is cautious and knows when to advance or retreat. Although I admire that kind of personality, it's a little upsetting to be the one he's refusing.'
