Hearing this, Xi's heart does a little 'thump'. He can probably guess what Liao Li wanted to do with Gaiyin.
It should be about that favorite cub of theirs, what was her name, Bai something?
Xi knew that the guy had done a lot of outrageous things and was now imprisoned in the dungeon of Taoyuan.
He didn't rush to speak up, only pretending to be clueless to prevent any contradictions with Gaiyin's story that could arouse Liao Li's suspicion.
He obediently lowered his head and followed Liao Li out of the underground cavern.
He didn't ask further about those cubs, acting as if he was only concerned about Liao Li's interests, not sympathetic towards the cubs.
······
As Gaiyin predicted.
The three beast soldiers that left earlier quickly returned with more beast soldiers.
What was unusual is that their leader was a female.
