"Hey! You smelly Taoist, although I, Lu Xun, enjoy my wine, I wouldn't stoop so low! When have I ever deceived you?" The Gray-Clothed Man was displeased upon hearing this and immediately crossed his arms. This Gray-Clothed Man was the "Old Lu" mentioned by Mo Wen.
"Have you ever deceived me less?"
"That wasn't deception; that was a bet. You agreed to the terms, and when you lost, you had to abide by the wager. Take a look at this; I'm serious this time." With that, he casually tossed a Jade Tablet to the Taoist.
...
"This boxing technique! Isn't this the incomplete form that even Master only obtained? Where did you get this?" After reading it, the Taoist could no longer remain seated and jumped up.
"Look at you getting all worked up. Aren't Taoists supposed to be calm in the face of change? What's wrong? Does Brother also lose his composure sometimes?" Lu Xun returned to his lazy demeanor, sipping his wine while watching his senior brother.
"Stop being glib and tell me where you got it!" The Taoist was trembling with excitement.
"That requires something in exchange."
"Can you tell me now?"
"Indeed, Brother knows me well." Looking at the row of Wine Jars on the table, Lu Xun couldn't help but smile widely. His eyes seemed glued to those Wine Jars. "It was given to me by that kid."
...
Lu Xun recounted everything that had happened to his senior brother. Of course, he didn't mention what Master had instructed him to keep secret, as that old man had forbidden him from telling anyone.
"The Golden Body, Xuan Tian Jie, heavenly dew... all these events happened to one person; this..."
"Incredible, right?"
"Indeed incredible. Oh, by the way, where's that kid? Why didn't you bring him along?"
"Didn't my junior sister mess things up? I left him in Cloud Mist Forest."
"What! You left him in Cloud Mist Forest!" The Taoist jumped up again.
"Hey! What's wrong with you today, old Taoist? You're acting all jittery; that's not like you," Lu Xun said while stroking his beard and looking at his senior brother.
"Sigh, you! You..."
"Isn't Master always teaching us to go with the flow? I intended to bring that kid out; sending word to you was for that purpose. But since my junior sister got there first, I guess it's fate."
"What a pity!"
"Don't lament; if it's meant to be, we will meet again."
"You've been with that kid for several years; don't tell me you're not reluctant?"
"Yes, even if it's hard to part, what can be done? Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are in the hands of fate. He must walk his own path. Moreover, the Master has repeatedly instructed us not to interfere with karma."
"Since the Master has given his instructions, then so be it..." The Taoist sighed. Although he felt it was a great pity, he had to concede to his junior's words; after all, the Master had spoken.
"There’s no need for you to be downcast, Brother. I’ve acquired many new and interesting things during this trip. I believe we can expand our sect's business further..." What Lu Xun referred to were the numerous Secret Recipes that Mo Wen had given him.
"Over the years, you’ve been fleeing while Sister has been chasing. All matters under the Master's teachings have fallen on my shoulders. It's already a miracle that I can keep things in order; how can I think about expansion? I'm not interested." At this moment, the elder brother was still angry about his junior leaving Mo Wen behind in the Cloud Mist Forest.
"…"
The two brothers began a debate that they hadn't engaged in for many years.
Meanwhile, Mo Wen was still wandering underground.
