"Disciple- no, friend William. Thank you for helping me." Gu Dianlong bowed towards William, then again to the four Magical Beasts that were wholly responsible for his freedom. It had been almost fifty years since Gu Dianlong was affected by the first Enslavement Array, and he had worried it would be even longer this time.
He spoke again, "I'm glad that you didn't forget about this old man. I hope this means you've forgiven me for what I did, even if it wasn't my own decision."
William waved his hand in dismissal, "You helped me before. It's only fair that I return the favor."
Gu Dianlong nodded and didn't reject, "What will you do now?"
"I could ask the same of you. Are you going back to your Sect?"
"But of course. Though I'll have to be wary of being targeted again. You know as much as I do how much negative attention having too much Talent can bring."
