The two of them waited quietly for a while.
Fortunately, Bie Xuening didn't appear before them, and neither of them was suddenly teleported to the Sword Venerable Hall.
Emm...
Perhaps Master (Master) hadn't noticed, or simply hadn't cared?
For a while, everything was utterly silent. In the end, Chi Jiuyu was the first to break the quiet.
"Let go of me first, and I won't report you to the Law Enforcement Hall."
"You promise?"
"Why would I lie to you? What good would it do me to call the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, only for Master to take you back?"

If Master took me back, there's no way I'd escape either!
