"Actually, to be strict about it, we're family too," Han Bing's master said to me with a slight smile.
This was the first time I saw her smile since I'd arrived, and the smile made her look a lot younger.
"Master... Uncle Master, did you join the sect later than others? Why..." Calling Han Bing's master Uncle Master felt really strange to me, but even if it felt odd, I had to do it, as I hadn't yet planned to tell her that Mao Xiaohong was not my master but actually my senior uncle. It's not really a deception, right? After all, my senior uncle taught me a lot too, so he could also be considered my master.
My latter question was to ask why Han Bing's master looked older than my senior uncle, but then I thought it might be impolite to ask, so I stopped myself.
"Heh, are you wondering why I'm older than your master?" Han Bing's master seemed to guess what I was about to say.
"Yes, that's right," I nodded in response.
