In short, after all the trouble, this matter has finally come to an end.

Wu Er threatened to hang himself, which finally made Xiao Mingmu compromise and stop wasting time and resources on this matter.

In other words, at least we're not having to outsmart the air anymore.

However, Xiao Mingmu did not leave immediately. Instead, he took another headcount and tidied up the venue.

Well, it seems he's still not entirely at ease.

This time, however, there was no indefinite delay. After Wu Er urged them again, they finally boarded the cloud boat and prepared to return to the mountain gate.

This time, Xiao Mingmu and Wu Er didn't fly back on their own; they went back on the sect's cloud boat.

Although the cloud boat is not as fast as the two of them flying there on their own, if they are not in a hurry, who would fly by themselves if they could take the cloud boat?

It's more comfortable when someone gives you a ride.

That's what you call high society!

Of course, these two highest-ranking members of the sect were not traveling alone on the cloud boat, but were discussing matters in a secret compartment.

To be precise, it was Xiao Mingmu who sought out Wu Er to discuss matters.

What are we discussing?

It concerns the question of how to deal with Fang Tianzhi.

Xiao Mingmu talked with his senior brother for a long time, and even discussed many methods of torture.

These bizarre methods made Wu Er quite ashamed. He had never known that his junior brother was so terrifying. If these methods fell into his hands, he would probably suffer a fate worse than death.

As expected, I still don't really understand my second senior brother.

Wu Er thought to himself.

"By the way, how did you get in touch with Kunwu back then? She even brought people to rescue me."

Mentioning Fang Tianzhi brought back some unpleasant memories for Wu Er, but he was eventually rescued.

Although I didn't react much to being rescued at the time, the impression has remained very deep.

Upon hearing his senior brother's question, Xiao Mingmu naturally had to answer.

"Senior brother, have you forgotten? That day... Kunwu, also known as Kunwu, left us a magical artifact to communicate with her."

Although he tried to make his words sound natural, Xiao Mingmu's tone and manner became unnatural when he mentioned the names "Kunwu" and "Kunwu," and he even stuttered a little.

Moreover, after saying this, Xiao Mingmu glanced at Wu Er, seemingly a little nervous.

It seems this is something that can't be said too much, for fear of upsetting Wu Er.

In contrast, Wu Er didn't show any emotion at the time.

He didn't show any sadness, anger, distress, or heartache; his expression remained the same as always.

This left Xiao Mingmu stunned, so he asked, "Senior brother? Are you alright?"

"Me? Of course I'm good! How could I not be good?" Wu Er said naturally. "What? Did I act too blandly?"

Xiao Mingmu didn't try to hide anything when asked about this, saying directly, "Indeed, Senior Brother... I think you should have had some reaction, after all, back then..."

He wanted to say something more, but then stopped himself and didn't continue.

“You underestimate your senior brother.” Wu Er not only showed no negative emotions, but also laughed. “Back then, although I was not young, I had the mentality of a child. Now I am much more mature and have become a reliable adult.”

I don't know why, but whenever Wu Er says something like "reliable," I feel like he's really unreliable.

It makes sense; after so many years of seclusion and meditation, one should have gained something.

Although his cultivation level hasn't increased much, his temperament has matured considerably.

Mature people can always tolerate a lot.

To use a cliché: what was once unforgettable now seems like nothing at all.

Of course, whether he was truly calm and collected is something only Wu Er himself knows.

"Yeah?"

Xiao Mingmu smiled, but his smile was mostly one of disbelief.

As the eldest brother, although he didn't know his second brother very well, he could still perfectly understand the meaning behind some of his expressions.

For example, the contempt in Xiao Mingmu's smile...

"What do you mean by laughing like that? Don't you believe your senior brother? Let me tell you, in my eyes you're all children! Children! And you're laughing at me!"

Because of a laugh, Wu Er started arguing with his junior brother.

He claims to be a mature person, but he still has the temper of a child.

"Yes, my senior brother is the most mature and steady... and also very reliable, hehe~"

Xiao Mingmu originally wanted to flatter his senior brother, hoping to cheer up the childish Wu Er.

But after saying a few words, he couldn't help but laugh, perhaps because he himself didn't believe it.

"You're laughing!" Wu Er immediately started acting childish again. "If you keep laughing, believe me, I'll hit you!"

Xiao Mingmu naturally ignored such threats.

He always knew that Wu Er would never make a move, even if he kept saying it.

This sentence may just become a joke between fellow apprentices, since it can never come true.

Okay, maybe it will come true, but at least it's not true.

On the cloud boat, the two brothers started chatting again.

Xiao Mingmu had a moment of leisure amidst his busy schedule, so he naturally wanted to have a good chat with his senior brother.

Wu Er finds enjoyment in his leisure time; compared to doing other things, he prefers chatting with his junior brothers and sisters.

Unfortunately, everyone has their own things to do, so there are far fewer relaxed and enjoyable chat times like this compared to before.

As the two brothers chatted, the conversation turned to Kunwu the Demon Saint, or Kunwu.
