In the back mountain, Chen Xu was hosting Feng Yuanbai and Wu Zhengze in the small hall of the wooden house.
Old friends reunited, it seemed as though both parties had not seen each other for a long time.
In reality, only more time had passed since Chen Xu last met Wu Zhengze.
But with Feng Yuanbai, it had only been a little over twenty days since they parted.
In less than a month, they met again, yet both could not help but feel as if a lifetime had passed.
After taking their seats, Feng Yuanbai's first words were:
"Xu, it's truly good that you've returned now, but where did you go during those days of your disappearance?"
Such bluntness was due to their close relationship, eliminating the need for circumlocution, as well as the urgency of the situation, leaving Feng Yuanbai no room for subtlety.
With Feng Yuanbai's inquiry, Wu Zhengze also showed concern on his face.
Chen Xu, perceptive as ever, noticed an unusual look about both Feng Yuanbai and Wu Zhengze.
