"Brother Han, you're being too distant with these words. Yao'er is my adopted daughter, and Li'er is my direct disciple. If they wish to leave this place, they can do so at any time. However, in my opinion, they should stay here for a while longer before returning to your human race. It would be better that way," Qing Yuanzi said after some thought.
"Oh, how do you mean?" Han Li was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and his gaze swept over the faces of Yuan Yao and Yuan Yao.
The two girls exchanged a glance and both showed a hint of a bitter smile.
"It would be best for Yao'er to explain this matter to you herself, so that I don't overstep my bounds and cause any misunderstanding with you, Fellow Daoist. If they indeed wish to leave now, I wouldn't say a word against it," Qing Yuanzi said solemnly.
