Chapter 5

Are We Acquaintances? [我们是熟人啦? Wǒ Men Shì Shú Rén La?] is the fifth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Ye Yan's Flag Demons hear Pang Dali's screams of an Untitled Sage and discuss amongst themselves in fear, detailing the brutalities of Untitled Sages. As Pang Dali flees, Huang Xiaoyan notices Ye Yan standing in the bear's path and warns him to move out of the way. However, upon recognizing Ye Yan, Huang Xiaoyan becomes enraged, causing Ye Yan to flee despite his Flag Demons' attempts at goading him into protecting them from her. The Flag Demons return to their Demon Flags as Ye Yan runs away, who is then joined by Pang Dali who begs to be subjugated by him. Huang Xiaoyan releases cutting air slashes with her sword that fly by the two. Pang Dali immediately swears allegiance to Ye Yan, noting he would rather live than die. As a "test of loyalty", Ye Yan throws the bear at Huang Xiaoyan in hopes of stopping her, but to no avail as she slams him into a wall to her side. Ye Yan quickly turns a corner, and Huang Xiaoyan follows but is then unable to find him. In a fit of anger, she kicks over a trash can to her left and claims that she will cut off Ye Yan's arms and legs when she finds him. Unbeknownst to her, Ye Yan was hiding in the trash can.
