Be reasonable.
Tanshui River was just an eight-star challenge.
Yet, it had seen the emergence of horrifying beings such as Yan Chixia and Bai Yi.
Jiang Xiao had reason to suspect that even a boss from a Kaidan with nine stars or more wouldn't suffice for a single slap from Bai Yi.
Moreover, the only reason Bai Yi hadn't killed him was simply because she didn't see him as a good person.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
What would have to happen for another chosen one to be able to retrieve Dalian's soul from Bai Yi's grasp?
Can't figure it out, not in the least.
"Forget it, I'll check out the livestream once we get out. Those guys are probably still wondering where Dalian's soul has gone. Heh heh heh."
Although people should unite against a common enemy when facing a Kaidan, it's hard not to feel a little smug when you know you're better off than others.
"Daddy, stop that lecherous laugh, didn't we forget about two people?"
"Who?"
Jiang Xiao looked puzzled at Bai Yi.
