"You could have said that first before taking off!"

As hard as it is to see Jingyi, Jin Ling manages to keep up and doesn't ask anymore question. It sounds like, they're dropping the prior conversation for the time being. Jingyi probably isn't happy about how he's handling it. Regardless, Jin Ling doesn't know any other way. So, he rather focus on the task at hand too.

The youkai, pretty please with himself about the situations, settles back into the headspace of Jin Ling's and lets the two of them have their conversation. He doesn't care for arguing too much and Jingyi isn't that fun to mess with.
