Li Guanyi remained silent as he located the storeroom here, filled with silver coins, and then allowed each of the women to take as much as they could carry. Eventually, he stood before the mountain gate, watching over the branch of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect, the women now dressed in new clothes and carrying their belongings, standing behind the mountain gate.
Clutching his bow, Li Guanyi picked up the last arrow, its shaft swirling with Inner Qi.
He whispered softly,
"Qilin."
The Qilin huffed in annoyance, its long-tailed lion-cat tail swishing rapidly, as it pressed a paw down on his shoulder, resentfully communicating in his mind, "Do you think I'm a torch or something?"
"Again, Qilin, Qilin."
The young Taoist responded, "One chicken leg."
The long-haired cat perched on his shoulder flicked its tail, then licked its paw, "Three."
Li Guanyi said, "Two."
"Deal!"
