The next day!
At daybreak, Qin Jishi stepped out of his room. When he arrived outside the gates of the World-Saving Pavilion, a dense crowd had already been waiting for a long time.

After pausing slightly... Qin Jishi bowed toward where Qin Xiao was standing.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
After doing all that!
Qin Jishi moved, his entire body floating in midair.
