In the same forest, on the same mountain, in the other direction, the corners of Xu Que's mouth ticked up as he listened to Buttface's voice reverberating in the distance.
"Buttface, you wanna play with me? You're still not up to scratch..."
"Boy, you'd better come out soon. We were so close in our previous lives. Can you bear to watch Your Holiness being bullied and humiliated by other people?" Buttface's voice rang out, echoing off the mountain.
Xu Que shook his head and smiled without saying a word. The moment he'd heard it, he'd known that this fool had been trying to lure him to reply so he could lock in on his location and drag him into this mess, and then run away at his first opportunity.
"Ah, Brother Xu, please come out here quickly!
"Lord Brother, don't tell me you've forgotten Buttface?
"Don't you remember all the days when we fought alongside one another?"
