When Zou Yi and the rest joined the fight, he sunk back. Zou Yi was worried he was preparing to escape and leave them holding the bag, but his worries were unfounded.
Lai Rou seemed to be regulating himself, preparing for another go. Only when they clashed against her did they realize how strong Lai Rou was for going toe to toe with her. If they wanted to get out of it, they couldn't do it without him. If he left or was out of commission their defeat was all but guaranteed.
The four all nodded as they spread about, with Lai Rou striking Yin Rong with his saber.
"Don't think it will be easy for you like before.." Yin Rong mockingly said as she swung her swords to meet his saber strike.
Even though she showed a modicum of seriousness when facing Lai Rou, one could still detect a sense of casualness from her as she faced him, however, that instantly changed when their weapons clashed.
