"Thank you, Young Hero Bai."
Li Kang held his saber in a reverse grip and cupped his fist to Bai Yuan.
If Bai Yuan hadn't noticed the Cat Demon concealing its presence ahead of time, Li Kang knew he wouldn't have just been severely injured—he'd likely have lost his life. Even his six subordinates would have met their end here, their bodies adding to the floating corpses in the pool.
Bai Yuan waved his hand. "Li the Ten Households, there's no need to be so formal."
"No, you saved my life. I will never forget this kindness."
Before his voice had even faded, he bowed deeply to Bai Yuan.
Seeing this, the other six men also bowed.
Anyone could see that Bai Yuan had been the main force in slaying the Cat Demon.
The rest of the process was much simpler.
Bai Yuan took the Cat Demon's corpse, while Li Kang and his men stayed behind to deal with the floating bodies and clean up the aftermath.
As he was leaving, Bai Yuan glanced at the pool, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
