To avoid alerting the enemy, Brother Hu Yan didn't return directly to their base but instead landed with Chao Zhilin in a valley nearby. He then summoned the four Junior Brothers using a paired talisman.
After the group met, Brother Hu Yan asked the Junior Brothers once they finished courtesies with Chao Zhilin, "Did Junior Brother Jin tell you about Wang Sheng's arrival tonight?"
Jin Zaogong said, "I've told them everything."
The other three Junior Brothers, Mao Zhong, Zhu Ze, and Xun Lingyin, all nodded to show they knew.
From time to time, they glanced at Chao Zhilin. Honestly, although Jin Zaogong conveyed Brother Hu Yan's intentions, they felt somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, they were still young, and it was hard to stomach that they couldn't directly claim their first victory, so they silently vowed to prove themselves soon.
