"Absolutely, self-punishment is the answer. But Senior Brother Chen, Brother Sang does have a point here, you can't always be the one treating us..."
Chen Dengming laughed heartily, raising his cup with Sang Tianrong who was ready to punish himself, saying, "Alright, younger brothers are indeed correct. Since Brother Sang is already ready, I am willing to join him in punishing myself with a drink.
But this round is on me, as I do have some trivial matters to ask you all..."
"Senior Brother Chen, there's no need for such formality! Given our relationship, if you want to ask something, a simple transmission via jade talisman will do!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
...
A half an hour later.
Laughing, Chen Dengming handed out some local delicacies from the Changchun Sect, waved and said goodbye to the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Longevity Sect.
This relationship needs to be nurtured through frequent meetups.
