Ten thousand grass-mud horses thundered through Bai Zeyu's mind!
Fuck, was this man an idiot?
What sort of people had Brahma Venerable found?
I was giving him a perfectly legitimate way to become one of us in Prison Suppression. Wouldn't having that status be a good thing?
This was the first time anyone had rejected Bai Zeyu in his capacity as Prison-Suppressing Commander!
And in such a sensitive situation, no less.
