The old man, with agility not yielding to the young, pulled Chen Ying, trying to avoid the crowd.
But amidst gasps from onlookers, instead of avoiding, Chen Ying actually moved forward to meet them.
There is a bit of a difference between actively releasing one's aura and doing so passively.
After the two leopards approached Chen Ying, they surprisingly hid behind him, pressing their heads against his body, exhibiting a terrified demeanor.
Chen Ying took off his jacket and covered the leopards' heads with it, isolating them from outside views and letting them see only him.
"Oo-oo, oo-oo, it's so scary."
"Oo-oo, I want to go back."
From the whimpering of the two leopards, Chen Ying deduced that they had lost their way. Somehow, they had made it to the town.
Recorded instances included one last year in a county nearby, where a leopard had wandered into the town and was eventually captured and sent back to the mountains.
