"Great. I can bring you back to the cultivation world." Yu Qi stated calmly.
The men were visibly stunned by her words. For a long moment, a heavy silence hung in the air as they processed the information. Finally, the leader found his voice. "You... you can truly bring us back to the cultivation world?"
"Yes." Yu Qi nodded firmly.
"What is in it for you, exactly? Why do you want to help us?" The man asked, his tone wary.
"Because you are fellow cultivators." Yu Qi replied simply.
"Just because of that?" The man asked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Yes. You must be having an incredibly tough time living in a world that does not suit your nature." Yu Qi said, offering a small, sympathetic smile.
"Thank you... Thank you very much!" Overcome with emotion, the man moved to kneel and kowtow to Yu Qi in gratitude.
"No... no... please, don't kneel down." Yu Qi quickly reached out to stop him before his knees hit the ground.
