Gong Chi grew more anxious.

Wen Jiu bought some wine and food, using the excuse of visiting Liu Xiao to check on him.
He intended to use Liu Xiao's hand for a task.

"Brother Liu, there's something I need to ask you," Wen Jiu communicated to Liu Xiao via Divine Sense, "Once it's done, I owe you a favor."
Wen Jiu didn't mention a reward.
But he offered a favor.
