Seeing this, others became interested as well.
One by one, they crowded over, wishing to get a glimpse of the map in Su Tang's hand.
Gaiyin frowned, pushing them all away, then instructed Su Tang, "Put your things away for now."
"Oh..." Su Tang blinked, crumpling the map up and stuffing it back into the Beast Skin Bag.
Xi'en rotated the roast meat in his hand, looking pensively at Su Tang's bag.
This stare, inexplicably, had him somewhat entranced.
Perhaps sensing his overt gaze, Gaiyin shot him an unhappy glance, even clearing his throat twice to remind him.
Unfortunately, Xi'en seemed oblivious, continuing to gaze unbothered.
It's Yadang's turn to nudge him, "What's on your mind? The meat's almost done, it's time to add seasoning."
Xi'en nodded belatedly, "Ah... Oh..."
Then he smiled warmly at Yadang, "Thank you."
