"Alas, there were always some people... who did not understand reason, did not know how to appreciate favors, and did not know when to advance or retreat!" Xiao Hua, who had remained silent all along, waved his hand. "The next wave of attacks is about to begin! Follow me! We'll go in ourselves!"
Kun Feiyan said in surprise, "Junior Brother Xiao, you... you aren't going to inform Senior Brother Kan Ximing?"
