I almost jumped from the shock.
Figure changing was an advanced spell that wasn't difficult at all for Bai Ye, and any flaws in the effect would be well beyond a disciple's ability to discern. He obviously wanted to hide his identity from the group, but why? Where was he leading us? And how could he be here in the first place?
I was still staring at him stupefied when Xie Lun said, "We would appreciate the guide. Please lead the way."
Bai Ye the hunter nodded and gestured for us to follow him into the depths of the woods.
My heartbeat thudded in my ears as we trailed Bai Ye's footsteps. I had so many questions, and I quickened my pace, trying to catch up with him. But then I realized that I couldn't show my eagerness in front of the group. I slowed down instead, falling slightly behind so that I could watch him without others noticing.
