Zi Jue eyed the group of people who just passed the threshold of the forest. Surprisingly, they were coordinating with each other pretty well. Better than his men at the very least. They weren't flustered and if they were facing somebody else, not him and Yan Qing Shan, they wouldn't have been noticed despite the number of their group. Though, the Aces could use a bit more finessing, they were still up to par.
He squinted his eyes at the center of this excellent synergy. Seiryuu of the West, or as Yan Qing Shan fondly calls him, Aki-nii. As if feeling eyes on him, Aki shifted his attention to where Zi Jue was observing them.
"He's not so bad." Zi Jue murmured his commendation.
"Of course he isn't. He is my grandfather's protege after all. The only one who's able to best him would be me. And that still depends on the given circumstances." Yan Qing Shan boasted unconsciously which made Zi Jue smirk a little.
