“A protective amulet,” Xiumei replied.

“Did you have it made especially for me?” Xu Zhengyong asked, chuckling.

“Yes, this is just a little show of sisterly concern for my junior apprentice brother,” Xiumei replied with a touch of pride.

Since the person who taught Xiumei martial arts is the same one who taught Xu Zhengyong, indeed, they both hail from the same mentor.

“I am your senior apprentice brother, and you are my junior sister!” Xu Zhengyong rebutted.

Their argument over seniority had persisted for years. Each one refuses to admit being junior to the other and each always striving to be perceived as the elder one.

Xiumei: “I pledged to our master first, while you did afterward, so naturally, I am your senior whilst you are my junior.”

Xu Zhengyong: “I was the first one to start learning from Master, and you are the later one, so obviously, I am your senior and you are my junior!”

Xiumei: “What good is it to be the first to follow if the succession can only be determined by the pledging ceremony! Following the master around doesn t count!”

Xu Zhengyong: “I am older than you! You are of the same age as Ruoruo, and since Ruoruo calls me Brother Xiaoyong, I am certainly your senior apprentice brother!”

Wei Ruo and the Xu family couple were already used to their bickering over seniority.

in the past, they used to quarrel almost monthly. Recently, due to fewer occasions for them to meet, they took a break from their lack of consideration.

Everyone laughed it off.

After a while, amazingly, Xiumei admitted defeat. “All right, you are going to the army. If you manage to come back alive, I will admit you entered the mentorship before me, and I will address you as my senior.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Zhengyong, who would have normally jumped for joy, fell silent. He shed his playful smile and turned unusually serious.

“Are you afraid, I won’t make it back?”

“If you don’t return, you will forever be my junior brother!” Huffed Xiumei as she turned her head away before returning to Wei Ruo’s side.

Xu Zhengyong came back as well, a smile on his face, and the purse Xiumei had given him tucked in his clothes.

“Xiumei’s gift has been given, now it’s my turn.” Wei Ruo had also prepared a parting gift for Xu Zhengyong.

Wei Ruo placed a small wooden box on the table. Inside were several small porcelain bottles.

“These all contain common medicines. Each is labeled, so take the corresponding one when needed,” Wei Ruo said.

Xu Zhengyong glanced at the bottles and said, “Ruoruo, your handwriting is still horrible, isn’t it?”

“You’ve got nerve to say that about me!” Wei Ruo retorted.

Xu Zhengyong rubbed his nose, “No, no, I didn’t. I dare not criticize you. Your handwriting, Ruoruo, has its charm. It’s uniquely adorable in its ugliness!’ “One more word and you won’t get them!” Threatened Wei Ruo as she closed the box, as if to take it away.

Xu Zhengyong quickly stepped forward, grabbing the box.

“I’ll take them! I’ll take them! How could I not want a gift from Ruoruo? Even if
