I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
At last, after the tea party, Shang Wu was taken back to the mansion by Shang Ling.
From Shang Ling's eager expression, Xu Que knew that Shang Wu would be beaten unmercifully when they were home.
For this, Xu Que provided Shang Ling with several plans.
For example, Shang Ling could hang and beat Shang Wu, which could be abbreviated as "Hang & Beat," or Shang Ling could team up with his wife to provide Shang Wu with twofold care by taking turns.
Hearing his suggestions, Shang Ling was quite shocked. He supposed Xu Que would have experienced all these treatments, otherwise, he wouldn't know them so well. Therefore, Shang Ling nodded again and again and said he would use all these plans for Shang Wu, several times.
After all, Xu Que was such a good example. Shang Ling hoped he could cultivate Shang Wu into a leader like Xu Que. He would never spoil Shang Wu anymore!
