"Oh, little one, have you chosen me?" the elder asked, his voice trembling slightly. "You have sensed my sincerity, haven't you?"

Su Jiyai blinked up at him, not quite sure what he was thinking. She was just trying to escape the crowd! But now, the elder seemed to believe that she had chosen him as her contract partner.

"Of course! The elder is wise and powerful. It's only right that a genius spirit beast like her would choose him!" another disciple said, nodding like it all made sense now.
