In the depths of the forest was a clear and shallow stream. A grill had been placed on a rock by the stream, as had some leftover roast fish.
Qiushan Jun took a newly roasted fish from the grill and stuffed it in Bai Cai's hand, saying, ”While eating fish, I'll see if you can learn how to keep your mouth shut.”
Bai Cai was somewhat nervous. Taking the roast fish, he began to seriously eat, not daring to voice any more opinions.
The disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect took out their swords and began to spear the fish in the stream. For a moment, the air was filled with the splashing of water and laughter of youths.
Qiushan Jun washed his hands in the stream and then sat on the rock next to Gou Hanshi.
Gou Hanshi said, ”I didn't expect that after you left the Mount Song Army headquarters, you would actually take the long way back from Hanqiu City. You came back quite a few days later than you said you would in your letter.”
Qiushan Jun explained, ”When I went from Sloping Cliff to the Mount Song Army headquarters, I saw somebody from the family and followed them.”
With Gou Hanshi's intelligence, he immediately noticed the problem in these words. ”Who?”
After a pause, Qiushan Jun replied, ”Chen Changsheng.”
Once he and Gou Hanshi began to talk, the ruckus in the stream grew much quieter.
When he said the name 'Chen Changsheng', he attracted the gazes of all his junior brothers.
And when Qiushan Jun finished retelling the story of Sloping Cliff Horse Farm, the stream was absolutely quiet, everyone remaining silent for a very long time.
Gou Hanshi was also quite speechless. He apparently wanted to say something, but he failed to get the words out.
Bai Cai's face was swollen red as he had just narrowly managed to avoid choking to death from a piece of improperly chewed fish.
”What are you all thinking?” Qiushan Jun expressionlessly said.
Gou Hanshi smiled and shook his head, indicating that he had no view on this matter.
With great difficulty, Bai Cai swallowed down that piece of fish then repeatedly shook his head, indicating that he did not dare give any opinion on his eldest brother.
Qiushan Jun looked at him and said, ”Say what you want to say.”
Bai Cai hesitated for a long time before finally whispering, ”Eldest Brother… aren't both your and his eyesights just a bit too poor?”
……
……
”Chen Changsheng is a decent person.”
Qiushan Jun paused, then added, ”Alas, we can't be friends.”
He didn't know that Chen Changsheng had felt the same.
Gou Hanshi smiled and said, ”I'm better than both of you in this aspect, because I can be friends with both of you.”
Bai Cai squeezed his way onto the rock and squatted next to Qiushan Jun. ”Eldest Brother, you're the truly outstanding one. No matter how formidable Chen Changsheng is, he still needed to rely on you today to walk away in one piece.”
This was referring to how Qiushan Jun had used ten-some drawings to convince Bie Yanghong and break the Great Western Continent's scheme.
But no hint of pride or satisfaction could be seen on Qiushan Jun's face. On the contrary, it was rather gloomy.
”I didn't like Bie Tianxin, so I didn't care that much in the beginning, and treated the matter too carelessly. I didn’t expect that the people from the Great Western Continent would actually dare to kill him.”
He fell quiet for a while, then said, ”If I were just a bit more vigilant, he might not have had to die.”
Gou Hanshi thought this over for a while, then patted him on the back. Changing the subject, he said, ”For the closing of South Stream Temple, do we want to do anything?”
”Junior Sister has never needed anybody to worry about the way she does things.”
”Zhexiu apparently seems to be having difficulties.”
”We'll talk about it when we get back.”
