A crime of licking his own thumb

All the other tables in the inn were surrounded with chatters and laughters. Only a table next to the inn's entrance was developed with absolute silence. Earlier, when it was only by themselves with their own group, their table was the noisiest one in the entire inn. But now, when another person was added, they all became silent as if a silence spell was cast on them. 

As for Huang Guiren, he decided not to open his mouth because some dark aura was radiating from a person beside him. He just didn't want to be the target of such spine-chilling aura. But if he wanted, he could still chat with Zhang Long Wei and his buddy, Li Jie, on the other side of the table. But he didn't because Huang Guiren didn't feel like being a thirdwheel.

It's obvious as to why Li Qing didn't speak though. He was sitting face to face with his eyesore brother. Of course, if he didn't choose to close his mouth, the only thing that would come out of it would be all foul languages.
