Most of them were either gazing into the distance or huddled together chatting. They didn't seem to pay any attention to the two women.
At this moment, Yun Zhe approached them without any prior knowledge, a situation that would normally guarantee his success. Overjoyed, the two women even began to consider how to escape more easily.
