Fox Er asked for a gift, specifically wanting the same one as Zhu Xiushi. Lu Bei was dodgy, promising he'd give it to him next time, while he conveniently sidestepped both of them.
This isn't about the substance of the gift, but rather whether his filial piety will degrade over time. This was a serious matter, so he didn't dare to make promises lightly.
In the backyard, because of Fox Er's arrival, Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu had nowhere to put their hands and feet, hiding themselves in the quiet room under the pretense of cultivation.
Lu Bei burst out from the room, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, secretly thinking about how close he had just come to danger.
"Why did junior brother leave in such a hurry? Is someone chasing after you?" Seeing Lu Bei's flustered state, Zhan Hongqu couldn't resist teasing.
"No one was, a fox was."
