Jiang Chen's hesitation did not come as a surprise to Young Master Xiao.
Young Master Xiao did not continue to persuade him but simply smiled and watched Jiang Chen with great patience, waiting for what he would say next.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke, "I cannot make a decision on this matter at the moment. And to be honest, I do not know enough about your Southern Alliance. Likewise, you only have a superficial impression of me and know little about me. For now, I cannot give you a definitive answer."
Jiang Chen's response did not seem to surprise Young Master Xiao.
"Haha, true geniuses are not so easily recruited. I had already prepared myself for rejection beforehand. However, your explanation does make me feel a bit better. Plus, these two fine wines have left me with a very favorable impression of you."
Jiang Chen clasped his hands together in thanks, "Young Master Xiao flatters me."
"May I know your honored surname?"
