"That works too." Immortal Qi Jing was about to take it right away.

You expect me to hand over a treasure that made its way into my hands?
Not a chance.

The Sword Emperor from the Western Sea and Jiang Yuebai arrived shortly after, surprised to see the matter resolved so smoothly. After Immortal Qi Jing credited Chu Liang for the resolution, the Sword Emperor was even more astonished, while Jiang Yuebai found it rather expected.
