Determined to reach out and bring the rogue members back into the fold, Xia, General Liang, and Lin Feng set out for the village. The journey was fraught with uncertainty, but their resolve remained unshaken. They knew that facing their former comrades would require great courage and compassion.
Upon arriving in the village, they were met with wary glances from the villagers, who had heard rumors of the Crimson Shadows' past members. Xia took the lead, introducing themselves and explaining their mission. "We come in peace," she assured the villagers. "We want to speak with those who have strayed from our path. We believe they can find their way back."
The villagers were hesitant but curious. After a tense silence, one villager stepped forward. "If you wish to find them, they tend to gather at the old well at dusk. But be warned, they are not the same people you once knew. They have changed."
Xia nodded, appreciating the warning. "We understand. But we owe it to them to try."
As dusk approached, the trio made their way to the well, their hearts pounding with anticipation. They were prepared for a confrontation, but they also hoped for a chance at reconciliation
