Kang Yiyang invited Lin Bai to follow them for the time being. Once they found Lin Bai's companions, Lin Bai could leave with them.
However, just as Lin Bai agreed, one of the six people—a man in his twenties—cried out, "What? Senior Brother Kang, you're letting a third-level Earth Core Realm martial artist follow us? Wouldn't that just add to our trouble?"

Kang Yiyang glared at Wang Yanbo as he spoke.
At that moment, Kang Shiyun came over and smiled at Lin Bai. "Junior Brother, don't mind Wang Yanbo.
