Lin Fan didn't open up the cave right away after they escaped. Instead he brought the mercenaries and the two girls over to a camp that he had prepared ahead of time and got them settled.
He knew that they must have suffered at the hands of the bandits, so he quickly cooked them a meal and let them rest up before heading back to the cave.
Lu'er and Lan'er wanted to come with him, but he firmly rejected their request.
At first they didn't seem to listen to him, but after he asked them to watch over the camp, they strangely settled down.
He also noticed a strange look that the two of them shared, but he didn't understand the meaning behind that look…so he ignored it in the end and headed towards the stone wall.
With a single thought, the moles under his control dug right through the wall that was covering up the entrance of the cave. Of course, right before he penetrated through, he had the moles stop digging.
