In that simple room, Shi Yan looked lost. He stood stunned for quite a while before closing the window.
Going back to his seat, he was in rather low-spirits. He merely focused on drinking and didn't touched the girls anymore.
"Young Master Yan, was that the Beiming Family's troop?" Karl, a Shi Family warrior, asked him casually.
"Yes." Shi Yan answered bluntly and kept drinking.
Standing by the window, Shi Zhong looked at Shi Yan and, frowned with an odd look in his eyes. After some hesitation, he asked, "Brother Yan, the woman on the war horse, you... do you know her?"
Shi Yan nodded and finished the wine in his cup, "Yes, we walked out of the Dark Forest together. As you heard, the demon beasts were everywhere. It was better to be accompanied than be alone."
Han Zhong was an experienced man. Seeing Shi Yan's apathetic response, he blinked his eyes and assumed that something must have happened between Shi Yan and Di Yalan.
