The spell can be broken with effort, he said. If Xie breaks out and shifts just when they arrive, the two idiots' attention will be split.
He relays this plan to Kevin, still listening with half an ear to the two holding him captive. He's remembered, now, who they are - two defectors from Ghost Valley that were working for Yifu for a while. Xie had been the go between because Yifu didn't want to be seen associating with them. When they'd done what he needed, Yifu had cut them loose. They hadn't been very happy about that, apparently they still weren't.
One of them approaches him, he isn't sure which one until he's roughly poked in the shoulder and the man speaks - it's the first one, the one who was in the room when he woke.
"You should be happy you know, you're going to help us bring your precious master back." He gloats roughly, breaking off into a nasal snigger "Not that he'll be anybody's master when we have him. And you won't be alive to see it anyway. Guess you shouldn't be happy after all." He laughs again, like he's the funniest person in the world.
