Jiao Daoren had lived for so long that after hearing Qu Jianlei's words and pondering them briefly, he understood.
Accustomed to being in a superior position, he asked with both amusement and annoyance, "You think this counts as being restrained?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei snorted softly. "I don't want to be burdened with karma before even entering the Cultivation World."
