Qing Zhi may look old, but he was sincere and easy to talk to. As time progressed, he grew more comfortable speaking to Lin Jin, so he asked him about the current state of the mainlands. Their conversation went on enthusiastically. Lin Jin explained to him what the mainlands were like now and Qing Zhi was fascinated by his descriptions.
Upon hearing that immortals have ceased to exist in the mainlands, and how contracting pet beasts was the way to live, Qing Zhi's eyes widened.
"How does this blood contract thing work?"
Qing Zhi had a curious soul. Forming blood pacts was no secret in the mainlands as everyone knew about it, so Lin Jin explained the concept to Qing Zhi. The latter listened intently, pondering in silence at times, and then nodding in response.
Time flew by as they conversed, and it was already late at night when they finally realized it.
