Hearing Sixth Brother call out, Lu Yin and the others looked back.
Sixth Brother pointed at the bear.
The bear closed its book, easily swept its arm across the ground, and lifted up a makeshift table. Then it made two stools, sat down, and beckoned Lu Yin over, indicating that he should sit across from it.
