Xiang Yu turned around to find his master fixing him with a disapproving look.
"Master! Did you succeed?" Xiang Yu asked, deliberately ignoring Elder Guo's previous question.
"Of course I succeeded. Who do you take me for?" Elder Guo replied, his chin lifting with pride despite his weakened state.
"As expected of the master," Xiang Yu said with an exaggerated bow.
"Stop trying to change the topic. I heard—" Elder Guo began, but Xiang Yu swiftly cut him off.
"Master, what do you mean? You must be growing old if you're hearing things," Xiang Yu said smoothly, guiding his master to sit down.
"You brat! You think—" Elder Guo's retort was interrupted by the sudden arrival of two figures descending from the sky.
Li Yao and Elder Huang landed gracefully together, their robes fluttering gently in the breeze.
"Hmph, forget it," Elder Guo muttered, his demeanor shifting subtly at the sight of Elder Huang.
