In an unexpected turn, Shi Wudu, the esteemed Water Master, was abruptly shoved, nearly collapsing on the ground—disheveled and shocked. After a moment, he exclaimed, "Qingxuan, it's your brother!"
Shi Qingxuan shouted back, "I know it's you!"
Having recognized Shi Wudu, it was clear Shi Qingxuan was not confused or mistaken. So why the outburst?
Shi Wudu extended his hand again, "It's okay now..." To which Shi Qingxuan retorted, "No, it's not okay! How can it be okay? Just stop talking! I can't take it!"
As soon as those words were spoken, not only Shi Wudu but also Ling Wen and Pei Ming, who had just returned, had their expressions shift. Pei Ming said, "Qingxuan, don’t be foolish. Saying such things is like slapping your brother in the face and poisoning his heart."
Ordinarily, Shi Qingxuan would retort against Pei Ming, but now he just clutched his head silently, muttering like someone possessed, "I don’t want to hear anything. Just let me calm down. Leave! Just leave!"
Shi Wudu finally couldn't hold back.
He shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Ling Wen also tried to intervene, "Wind Master, if there's something wrong, just tell us. We can figure it out together..."
