Killian was called into the hall; he watched Sonny sleeping on the bed, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Killian went to the hall where everyone was waiting for him. An elder, Lu Ying, with a torn robe and exhausted eyes, walked to him and grabbed his hands tightly.
"Disciple chief, I can't thank you enough for saving our lives."
His words were filled with immense gratitude. He turned to everyone and demanded. "Show him that we're not ungrateful people."
For the first time in history, the elders went to their knees, lowering their heads with gratitude and reverence in their eyes.
Elder Lu Yiang, with a sincere expression, said, "Please, let us hold a banquet for you. It's a gesture of our appreciation."
Two hours later, he was led into a dining hall where everyone gathered together to eat. He wanted to leave and be with Sonny, but his master was sitting next to him, and he could tell from looking at his master's eyes that he wanted him to stay.
