This wasn't the first time Chou Zheng and Xiahao Yunting had met; they had met before, but it had been many years since they last saw each other.
After all, Xiahao Yunting never leaves the Southeast, and as a protector of the nation, Chou Zheng wouldn't have any reason to visit Xiahao Yunting.
That's why they hadn't seen each other for so many years!
As the saying goes, "one wouldn't hit a smiling person." Faced with Chou Zheng's courteous greeting, Xiahao Yunting didn't put on a sour face either. He chuckled lightly and said with ease, "You're the same, still as charming as ever!"
"But I can't compare to you, old brother. You have such a leisurely life, strolling around and raising birds, a life of ease that many envy and long for!" Chou Zheng said with a laugh, "I'm not so fortunate; I have many trivial matters to handle every day!"
"With great power comes great responsibility!" Xiahao Yunting complimented.
