Once he was 'home'. Qi Ah felt his heart settle a bit as the servants of his palace moved to 'retrieve' their young master from the stranger. His Head Servant seemed flustered at seeing Qi Ah being carried by a stranger, secretly sending questioning gazes to the guards and attendant that were rushing to keep up with the two from behind.

Weizhi ignored the servant who moved to take the 'young master' back. Instead he just moved to the side, not allowing the boy in his arms to be taken. "Just tell me where the Little Lords room is ah." he said in a light tone.

Qi Ah wanted to refuse this, but regardless of how he struggled, the other refused to let him go, instead he just tormented himself with the pain of his body being stimulated.

Feeling his body growing weaker and more painful, Qi Ah finally gave up and nodded to the butler who seemed to want to call for the guards to take down this scoundrel that refused to release the young master.

Clearing his throat, the servant glared at the stranger before leading him to Qi Ah's main court yard.

Weizhi followed while glancing from the youth in his arms to check out the inner workings of this private palace, nodding to himself in a pleased manor. It wasn't until they were inside Qi Ah's private court yard that the male finally moved to set him down on the padded 'lounge' chair that Qi Ah was finally free.

Weizhi moved to taking his own seat to the side, leaning once more in a lazy manor as he continued his staring contest with Qi Ah.

Clearing his throat, the youth struggled to settle the pain that he'd caused by struggling, before looking at the lazy male with a displeased expression. "You can leave now..." he said, his tone less polite.

"Now now, I did save you ah, I even treated you to tea...Shouldn't you at least give something in return yeah?" the masked male asked, his gaze turning the many 'guards' that were waiting to attack.

Qi Ah froze for a moment, his expression dark as he struggled to keep from directly OOC'ing completely and killing this bastard. "Thank you for your assistance, though I don't recall ever asking you to pay for the tea. I simply agreed to accompanying you." he stated with a cold tone.

Weizhi just shrugged, his mood clearly at ease despite the glares he was getting from both the servants, guards as well as Qi Ah.

"It's not a large favor. Just, I'd like to remain here for the time being. You see, I'd just arrived and lacked accommodation, though its only a small favor, it should be enough to pay me back for helping you earlier no?"

Qi Ah felt completely dumbfounded as he looked at the male before him. He honestly didn't know how to refute the other. It was true that he had helped him...Besides, the only thing the stranger had done was carry him around ah? Maybe he was reacting a bit harsh?
