He had no choice but to greet and see them off one by one—

Ah, Sir Zhao, truly an honor to finally meet you, seeing is truly believing, your appearance brought such a prosperous aura… You’re asking who taught this lowly one? Oh, we’re just nobodies, not worth being mentioned at all.

Ah, Sir Qian, truly an honor to finally meet you, seeing is truly believing, your appearance brought such a prosperous aura… Where I’m from? This one is just a lowly beggar, it’s not worth mentioning- no no no, I’m not from the Beggar Sect1, how can I ever be deserving of joining them? I’m just a nobody, really…

Ah, Sir Sun, truly an honor to finally meet you, seeing is truly believing, your appearance brought such a prosperous aura… I’m just a nobody, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary at all that you’ve never heard of me.

Ah, Sir Li, truly an honor to finally meet you, seeing is truly believing, your appearance brought such a prosperous aura… No no, I’ve never known that other Sir Li that well, what we had was just a convenient assistance during hard times. Which sect? I’m from none, just a nobody, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning at all.

As the night drew near, Zhou Zishu had been smiling so much his entire face was stiffened; it took a lot of massaging for it to return to the natural state. He knew deeply in his soul that complete paralysis wouldn’t be far away if he had to suffer one more day of this, so he immediately planned to leave.

Considering the insistence in the inquiries about other people’s business, these jianghu heroes were no better than nosy gossipers at markets; it was as if they wished they could have just stick their head into other’s house and use their eagle eyes to scan over anything and everything, seeing under the skin to determine if this was a human or a ghost.

If one said they were from one of the Eight Big Sects and was a disciple of this blah blah blah person, the other one could reply that Oh, truly an honor to finally meet you, my shishu2 and your Master knew each other way back.

Otherwise, they would be considered an outsider, and their character needed more time to be judged.

It was night time. Under the waning moon, Zhou Zishu opened his eyes. He had been sleeping early since now was the time for the Nails to cause troubles. But the pain was nothing too serious, he just needed rest.
