Bai Jin suddenly stopped in his tracks, a warm smile spreading across his face as he said, "Senior Brother, good morning!"
Duobao drifted down onto the island, expressing his surprise and doubt, "Junior Brother, when did you get back?"
"Last night!"
"Have you paid respects to Master yet?"
"Of course, I have."
Duobao frowned slightly and asked, "And Master just let you off like that?"
With a smug smile, Bai Jin said, "I am Master's most beloved disciple; how could Master bear to punish me? Master even asked kindly whether I had eaten and drunk well and if I'd encountered any dangers outside."
Duobao's mouth twitched twice, no punishment for that? He forced a smile and said, "It's good that you weren't punished, I've been worried about you."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
The two walked side by side towards the interior of the Tao Palace.
Suddenly, Duobao asked, "Junior Brother, are you here to pay your respects?"
"Yes! Are you too, Senior Brother?"
