"Ahem... you're quite right, young friend."
"I did happen to pick up a few things along the way. I'll return those to you as well."
The Qilin Old Ancestor looked a little embarrassed.
But his skin was thick enough. He laughed it off and said, "Since they're yours, young friend, I'll return every last one."
"Do check whether anything's missing."
With that, the Qilin Old Ancestor pushed a Storage Artifact over.
Before Kong Xuan could take it,
Lu Ya cursed from the side. "Old thief! You stole an entire Great Thousand Worlds from my senior brother, and now you offer this paltry little pile? Who are you trying to fool?"
"Oh, so that Great Thousand Worlds I found was yours too, young friend? I wondered who'd left it by the roadside."
The Qilin Old Ancestor gave an awkward smile.
He brought out the Great Thousand Worlds. "Take a look, young friend. Is this yours?"
Lu Ya darted over to inspect it first.
He flew into a rage. "Old thief, who do you think you're fooling? It's been stripped bare! You took all the treasures, and you still don't know you're courting death?"
"Senior brother, cut him down!!"
At those words,
The Qilin Old Ancestor put a great heap of objects gleaming with Immortal Light back inside.
Then he asked whether they were satisfied.
Lu Ya promptly began haggling.
Little by little, Kong Xuan's Great Thousand Worlds not only had everything restored, but gained quite a few extras!
The Divine Crow Gourd also returned to Lu Ya's hands.
"Young friends, please! You have to leave us some way to live!"
The Qilin Old Ancestor could not help wailing. "I've already taken plenty from the Qilin Clan's treasury to give you. If you keep this up, you'll truly leave me to starve!"
