"What's going on with him?"
As Wang Ba entered the manor, he saw Chu Erniu sitting alone underneath the eaves of the house.
He was grimacing and wailing, scant sign of the proud arrogance he had displayed as a Sect Disciple earlier. Instead, he exposed a trace of vulnerability that was inherent in young men.
Curious, Wang Ba couldn't help but quietly ask Tao Yi, who was standing next to him, giggling and taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
"This kid, just now someone from the External Affairs Room came to notify him, asking him to gather at Nanhu Village in a few days. Then, he'll leave with the others, heading towards the border with the Fu State."
Tao Yi openly showed his joy at Chu Erniu's misfortune: "A small Qi Refining Stage I novice like him, once he goes to the front, I think he won't get back. What a shame, the Sect has apparently given up on him!"
Unsure if Chu Erniu heard what Tao Yi said, his wailing only grew louder.
"Tao Yi."
"Stop your nonsense."
