What came next happened in a split second, but it was enough to draw out a surprised shout from MingYu as he dashed forward.

Miss Lu had shot up without warning, her lips curled back into a snarl, as her eyes darkened, blood vessels snaking like cobwebs over the white of her eyes.

But before anyone else noticed her sudden change, the lion dance performers pulled the two wooden lion heads up, hiding master Lu and his daughter behind them. The red and gold bodies of the lions blocked the view and any attempts of reaching the Lu's, creating a wall between the magistrate entrance and the rest of Wupei.

The townsfolk enjoyed the rhythmic beats of the drums, as the two lions were manoeuvred to dance, but never leaving a gap for anyone to spot either of the Lu's.
