Hearing Qin Xiao’s refusal, the few followers were somewhat dumbfounded.

“Qin Xiao, what is the meaning of this? Are you placing us under house arrest?”

Tian Xiu interrogated Qin Xiao when she heard he was forbidding them from leaving.

“What do you mean, house arrest? Placing you under house arrest inside a Grand Formation with nearly a thousandfold time acceleration? When will you place me under that kind of house arrest? You really don’t know a good thing when you see it.”
