sooo why is kunlun boy super dark and taking her prisoner again? itll come back eventually but..lol that bai clan elders outfit lol kind of gives me Boy George fashionista vibes
At least two reasons: 1) A-Ting is not only a non-cultivator, she is unaffiliated; the Bai Li clan would have rights to kill her but ice bro took credit for the kill, which granted protections as a formal clan dispute. 2) A-Ting used cultivator powers against regular people, crushing the invading army, which is against cultivator-society laws. She's being detained so that Bai Li Ji's death stays covered up, as punishment for breaking cultivator rules, and as a handy way for Kunlun to recruit someone with potential.
