Ao Qin just stared face-to-face with the Ascetic, who looked back at the dragon-kin blankly. But then the man's eyes looked past him and into the house, almost examining it.
"Mm, yes, I sense Lao Yang's presence here. Please step aside, I merely wish to speak with him."
Despite that Ao Qin didn't move, he just looked at the Ascetic icily. His hand was already wrapped around the handle of his saber. But he didn't pull it out just yet. Seeing this, the Ascetic sighed.
"I suppose you wouldn't be very friendly to a stranger at your doorstep but I only wish to talk more with Lao Yang, nothing more", he said.
Ao Qin felt a hand on his shoulder, glancing over to see Ruishi Lei pulling him back. As the lion-kin stepped forward, he looked at the Ascetic before turning to let him through.
"He is waiting for you in the courtyard", he said.
