Huo Xuan sat down beside Xiao Yu with the easy familiarity of someone who had known him for years.
Only then did Xiao Yu notice that the woman in red was still standing there, staring straight at him.
"Brother Huo Xuan, who is this?"
Huo Xuan glanced at the woman, then introduced her with a smile. "This is my companion, Huo Zhi."
"If you don't mind, Miss Huo Zhi, why not sit down and have a drink too?"
Xiao Yu nodded and extended the invitation to her.
"Thank you," Huo Zhi replied evenly.
Then she came over and sat beside Huo Xuan.
Xiao Yu poured each of them a cup of Jade Nectar before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Huo Xuan, you must be from the Yan Clan?"
Huo Xuan accepted the cup and took a small sip, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. Then he chuckled. "You truly are well informed, Brother Xiao Yu, to know of the Yan Clan. That's right. Huo Zhi and I are both members."
"I wouldn't call it being well informed. I've heard the names of the ancient clans before, and the markings on your foreheads are so conspicuous that it would be hard not to recognize them."
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, his gaze resting on the markings on their foreheads.
Huo Xuan paused, then shook his head slightly. "That's what I've been saying. These things draw far too much attention."
"By the way, I've been so busy enjoying the wine that I haven't asked where you're from, Brother Xiao Yu. Anyone who receives an invitation from the Gu Clan must be someone remarkable."
As he spoke, Huo Xuan grew somewhat curious about the identities of Xiao Yu and his two companions.
At this, Xiao Yu pointed to Xiao Yan beside him.
