Baili Xi opened his eyes and looked over. At first, he was startled to see several people kneeling on the ground, but then he looked at Qilin. "They're all kneeling. You're not going to let them kneel for nothing, are you?" With that, his smiling eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Qilin, looking very much like he wanted to fleece him.
Although Qilin felt he had no physical body, meeting those eyes still made him shudder. Yet he couldn't help but admire him: clearly able to command or coerce him, his cheap master had instead chosen to bargain with his life. Were those collections of his easy to come by? He hadn't even had time to retrieve the things in the lake, and the space bound to his soul only contained his earliest collections. Though they weren't anything particularly precious, that was all he had left now.
Baili Xi smiled and held out his hand, completely ignoring Su An and the others, whose heads bowed lower and lower.
