Lessons from the past

He Shan puzzledly looked in front of him to see what the hold-up was about. He had conveniently positioned himself a few inches at the back, giving himself ample room to react in case Zou Yi and Zou Liqin tried something. Even if they were now in an alliance, he still didn't trust them one bit.

He saw Zou Liqin look in a particular direction. He recognized that look. It was the same look he had when he was very small and would try to convince his grandfather to spare a certain beast when they were out hunting or when he wanted to bring back a couple of them home as pets, ignoring the fact they would be eaten by the beast if given a chance.

He couldn't help but chuckle when he remembered his naivete from back then before his look turned to one of sadness mixed in with regret.

"Does your sister want to bring her with us?" asked He Shan as his expression turned stoic.
