"Er Gou Xiong, my second master holds you in high regard, yet you fail to appreciate it. Do you know who we are?"
"Hehe, I have heard that the Zi Family teaches their younger generation not to oppress others with their status, and they never claim to be from the Zi Family in public. I didn't expect to see such behavior today. Could it be that Brother Gong does not bear the surname Zi, hence he is unaware of the Zi Family's rules?" Upon hearing Gong Junyan's words, Mo Wen's anger flared. It seemed that Gong Junyan found him particularly irksome; while the other twenty or so individuals behaved properly, he kept standing out as if there was a personal grudge between them.
"Gong Junyan! You should not tarnish the reputation of the Zi Family. Once we return, I will inform my father and have you sent home." Zi Lan, who had returned to Mo Wen's side, could no longer stand by. This distant cousin of hers had done this many times before, using the name of the Zi Family to bully the weak. If it weren't for the close friendship between their Old Ancestor and Gong Family's Old Ancestor, along with the marriage alliance between their families, he wouldn't even be participating in this training session. Now he was bullying "Dog Brother."
"Young Master Gong, you are being too outrageous! Apologize to Brother He at once!" The Second Master of the Zi Family knew Gong Junyan's temperament but did not expect him to be this brazen.
"Senior Zi, you exaggerate. Young Master Gong is merely anxious; an apology is unnecessary."
"A young man with such magnanimity will surely achieve greatness in the future. This time, the Cloud Mist Swamp has undergone significant changes; this forest has become a place of chaos. Since you have a master’s orders to follow, I will not press further. Lan'er, come here; we must leave quickly." The Second Master of the Zi Family realized that after Gong Junyan's disturbance, it would be impossible to bring Mo Wen along. He also had his suspicions about Mo Wen's master bearing the surname Lu. Moreover, their training in Cloud Mist Forest was over; an Elder had fallen during the last battle. While they were not afraid of danger themselves, any mishap among the younger generation would be difficult to explain upon their return. Thus, they needed to leave promptly.
"Dog Brother, Lan'er is leaving. You must take care of yourself and come find me in the future." Although she heard her Second Uncle calling her, Zi Lan still clung to Mo Wen's arm unwilling to let go.
"Go on; Dog Brother promises you that if I ever reach Zi Yun Continent, I will definitely look for you."
"No! You must come find me in Zi Yun Continent! If you don’t promise me, I won’t leave!"
"Alright, I promise you; I will definitely come find you. Otherwise..." Seeing that Zi Lan was already starting to cry, Mo Wen had no choice but to agree. He didn’t understand why every time he saw her pitiful expression, a wave of inexplicable heartache surged within him. Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Zi Lan covered his mouth with her small hand.
"Dog Brother, Lan'er is leaving... Remember our promise..." With every few steps she took back, she turned her head with tears still on her face. Mo Wen smiled and waved goodbye as he watched her blend into the crowd moving away. Observing his niece’s demeanor made the Second Master of the Zi Family sigh and shake his head; truly, a girl cannot stay at home forever. Yet he did not leave; watching his team enter the forest made him want to say something to Mo Wen but ultimately said nothing.
"Take care, young brother!"
"Take care, senior!" The Second Master of the Zi Family turned and hurried after his team while Mo Wen remained standing in place. Watching the departing members of the Zi Family left him feeling unexpectedly melancholic. This emotion came out of nowhere; he couldn’t quite understand what was happening to him.
