"Mm!" Qigang nodded and headed straight for Sheng Ning's house, passing through layers of guards to enter just as everyone had taken their seats inside. They were in the middle of a conversation, so his arrival didn't draw much attention. Instead, he slipped in unnoticed and stood next to Qin Yue.
"Heh, that was quick!" Qin Yue didn't need to look back to know it was him.
Qigang frowned, realizing his old friend had played a trick on him. He had made a point of concealing his approach when entering the village; otherwise, he would have noticed half an hour earlier.
The main hall was cramped, filled with people, all centered around the elderly leader. Lao San greeted him respectfully, the reverence written plainly on his face.
"It's quite normal for you not to recognize me, sir. On the battlefield back then, you were our commander, you..." Lao San began to speak and suddenly found himself choked with emotion, tears welling in his eyes.
