Ma Leiyu also saw that Lin Bai was eager to leave Qilin City via the teleportation array, so he said, "Quite a few people are waiting to use the teleportation array here. It clearly wouldn't be appropriate for Emperor Lin Bai to queue up here."
"How about this? I'll arrange accommodations for the three of you first. Then I'll send someone to discuss matters with the elder guarding the teleportation array. They should be able to arrange for Emperor Lin Bai to leave by teleportation at dawn tomorrow!"
Ma Leiyu paused, then continued, "Emperor Lin Bai, you needn't be so guarded. Since you're an Emperor Child of the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace, you should know that... our Pure Yang Sect and Phoenix Valley are both branches of the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace."
Branches, not outposts.
Lin Bai noticed the meaning in Ma Leiyu's tone.
"Ultimately, we're all family." Ma Leiyu wore a benevolent smile.
Lin Bai fell into thought. He seemed to hear that Ma Leiyu had an ulterior motive.
As for why Ma Leiyu had confidently promised that he could arrange for Lin Bai and the others to leave by teleportation at dawn the next day, he clearly had the authority to arrange matters for the teleportation array.
Yet he had not immediately arranged for Lin Bai to leave by teleportation. Clearly, there were other matters he wanted to discuss with Lin Bai.
"That's fine. We'll follow Brother Ma's arrangements."
After seeing through Ma Leiyu's intentions, Lin Bai smiled and agreed.
"This way, please."
Ma Leiyu's face was wreathed in smiles as he gestured invitingly, asking Lin Bai to leave the teleportation array plaza for the time being.
After they left Qilin City's teleportation array plaza, two beast carriages had long since been prepared by the roadside.
