That night, the three brothers gathered at a restaurant in Jin City.
Zong Qian looked at Wang Mian, who was beaming with joy, and was puzzled, "After we left, didn't they give you a hard time?"
Wang Mian chuckled, "Not at all. Actually, many people wanted to pry into the eldest brother's whereabouts from me. Some were unlucky, but it wasn't me—it was Elder Brother Shan!"
The group burst into laughter. Indeed, what was supposed to be a simple quest to find a friend turned into Elder Brother Shan slapping his own face—it was all due to lack of flair, bringing trouble upon oneself.
The three of them toasted each other, shared the news of their separation, discussed the figures of Jin City, the events of the Continent, and talked on and on without end. Eventually, the conversation returned to the rivalry between the two mansions.
