"Mm-hmm, just as they say, 'One should never underestimate a person who has been away for three days.'" Xing Zhi laughed, then added with a clear tone, "It's Gaoyang who keeps saying bad things about you. I've always said that learning characters is no big deal. Mr. Pei, you just need to catch up when you have time."
Pei Ye was taken aback, "How is... Brother Zhu doing now?"
"Not too bad, for his... lingering injury, the sect found some ancient and harsh secret techniques. Although the path is narrow, we're not at a complete dead end." Xing Zhi fell silent for a moment when speaking of the man, then quickly lifted his head with a smile, "But there's no need to worry about him. With his temperament, he never dwells on the difficult and perilous. Who doesn't face some bumps on the road of cultivation, right?"
Pei Ye nodded, "Seeing that you have returned to Shengjing, I guessed that Brother Zhu must be alright."
