Mu Bai didn't know why or perhaps he had indeed been scared by those ghosts, or maybe it was his pride acting up. He refused to accept that he was inferior to Mu Qian, let alone Wen Jiaren. He felt that his current state was pathetic and useless!
So, Mu Bai had accepted the arrangement Mu Qian made for him because he clearly understood that joining the Xuanxue World was inevitable for him. But this didn't mean he was grateful to Mu Qian.
When Mu Qian got his agreement, he said nothing more.
As Mu Qian stood up to leave, Mu Bai stood up as well and said to him, "Mu Qian, I won't be grateful to you because all of this is caused by you. This is something you should be doing for us."
