Qin Gengyun also noticed the person hiding behind the big tree, but he wasn't as quick to react as Niantang. He glanced over, slowly gathered his spiritual power, and remained on guard.
"Boo hoo hoo!"
A crying sound came from behind the tree as several children, faces pale with fear, walked out.
"Don't hit us, boo hoo hoo, don't hit us."
They wore rather distinctive clothing, with bright-colored dresses, headgear adorned with silver bells, necklaces of beast bones hanging on their chests, and flowers embroidered on their clothes.
Two of them were girls, and the other was a boy. The two little girls looked pitiable as they cried, while the boy puffed his cheeks, clenched his small fists, and stood protectively in front of the two girls.
"Don't come over here. I'm really powerful!"
Just as Niantang was about to make a move, Qin Gengyun quickly said, "Master, they're just children. Perhaps we should find out more first."
