Lan Zhang and Lan Wan led them to a small area deep in the woods, a total of nine men were sitting on a trunk of a tree that was laid on the ground facing each other, five men sitting on one and four men sitting on the other, a small fire that was almost dying out in the middle and a pot of soup hanging over it with the support of sticks. All the men were dressed in amour and all stood up at once when they saw them approaching.
The moment they got closer Si Ning noticed some were now eyeing him like some prey that just fell into their laps while some wore a confused expression because the way they appeared it seemed they were escorted rather than captured while others wore an indifferent look like they couldn't care less about why Lan Zhang and Lan Wan appeared with two unknown people. It was only one of them that seemed to choke on his spit as he stepped forward, his eyes on Si Ning and he wore a perplexed expression.
