At last under a lot of insistence, the elder reluctantly let Su Jiyai go.
However he didn't forget to pat Su Jiyai's head and say,
"If you ever feel like coming back, the gates to our sect are open."
Su Jiyai calmly tapped on his hand, surprising the elder,
"Do you want to stay spirit beast? Is that why you...Huh? What is this? Eh? This...this...this is a mystic pearl! Why are you giving this to me? Spirit Beast, this is too rare item! Hurry up and put this away."
Su Jiyai blinked as the elder stared at the mystic pearl she handed over. He looked so shocked like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Elder, it's not that big of a deal," Su Jiyai said, trying to wave it off. She didn't really want to stay here, but giving him a pearl was the least she could do.
Plus, she had like a million of them now, thanks to her system's multiplication trick.
Jake translated her words to the elder.
