Lin Yaqian defused the awkward atmosphere earlier. All of them were done eating and had gotten up to leave the hotel with their closer cliques of friends.
Yun Jian, Chen Xinyi, Zhang Shaofeng and Ling Yichen exited the hotel as well.

"It's not far to walk from here to the riding arena. It'll take us about 20 minutes," Lin Yaqian announced standing before everyone.

Yun Jian got along with Chen Xinyi, Zhang Shaofeng and Ling Yichen, so the four of them walked together.
