Bai Lung slightly raised his eyebrows at the interruption from Qing Li's friend. He was amused by her forwardness and decided to play along, continuing the banter,

"Hmph! Be serious now... We need to head inside, most of our sect disciples can't handle the void Qi, sigh! It's a good thing that you can find it," Qing Li was even more annoyed seeing him enjoy her friend's accompany.

"Of course, of course," he agreed, his tone still cheeky but with an underlying serious note.

"We shouldn't keep the be waiting," He cast a playful glance at Qing Li, his grin widening, "Lead the way, senior sister."

Qing Li: "..."

She raised an eyebrow at him.

Bai Lung quickly composed himself, his expression turning serious. He suppressed the smirk on his face and replaced it with a cool, aloof expression.

He nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes now sharp and focused. "Right, let's get serious," he said firmly.
