Xi Jiang chided with a hint of opportunity in his voice, "Why do you care so much? Fortunately, newcomers were chosen, otherwise, we wouldn't have stood a chance. Brother Nine definitely has a close connection with the Mo family."
"Foolish talk, as if I needed you to tell me that," Feng San retorted, a twitch at the corner of his mouth. "I've always found family head and great elder's attitude towards Brother Nine peculiar. It's more than just respect and politeness."
A flash of realization struck Xi Jiang, "Now that you mention it, I remember once calling out 'Brother Nine' in front of the great elder, and he nearly knelt down to me. After Brother Nine left, the great elder beat me up."
They usually referred to Yu Xiheng as "Brother Nine," but formally as "Boss."
Xi Jiang always thought the great elder was overly stern and too reactive, especially over a mere title.
