Encounter. (2)

Shi Lang's cold tone made the group of people stop. The young leader of the group said, "Fellow Daoists, we are here to cook our food beside the stream, that is all." 

Shi Lang did not respond and turned to Yu Xiedi. He coaxed her for a few minutes and had her sit beside him as they ate. He did not wish to be entangled in any unnecessary trouble; after all, these guys might not threaten him, but if a conflict arose, it might harm Yu Xiedi. He did not wish for that to happen. 

Yu Xiedi was eating her food, but despite Shi Lang's assurance, she was vigilant of the group. Any quick moment, and she would raise her gaze. The terran noticed all this, but he said nothing to her. Time will make her understand everything, but his deliberate intervention will not be the permanent solution.
