"Every year during the ancestral master's worship, we send in a message, and generally within three days, he will reply. But in recent years... the replies have become slower and slower."
Wudong nodded slowly, and after a moment, he suddenly asked hoarsely, "Do you think, honored sect leader knows about Happy Death Tower's parasitic poisoning in Kongtong?"

After a long time, Master Shaosheng said in a low voice, "Lord Wu, we... have also not seen him for ten years."
Wudong nodded, stood up with his sword, and said, "Then let us be off."
