"This truly is joyous news!"
Wang Wu froze, rather surprised. But it seemed to have nothing to do with him. He could skip the ceremony, or else he would have to give a congratulatory gift.
To his surprise, Big Monkey had become quite generous. "True Man Mu, I know you prefer peace and quiet to bustle, but this time, you must honor us with your presence. Don't worry about the gift. Bear Ridge is one family, no need to distinguish yours from mine. We only need to provide one gift between us, and I've already prepared it."
"Then it's settled!"
With that, Big Monkey hurried off, seeming extremely busy. Wang Wu watched him suspiciously for a few moments. How strange—had this fellow changed his temperament?
Just then, Jia Ding Monkey stepped forward and grinned as he draped an arm around Wang Wu's shoulders.
"True Man Mu, Old Zhou and I have something to discuss with you."
"Well, I'm busy. Please, go ahead without me."
Wang Wu made as if to leave, only for Jia Ding Monkey to grab him again. "Don't be like that, True Man Mu. Give us some face, Old Zhou!"
Without another word, Old Zhou Tou directly revealed a somewhat peculiar Golden Light Divine Talisman. A Golden Light Mark had been pressed onto it, faintly resonating with the Spirit Network.
"This is—"
Wang Wu froze, while Old Zhou Tou swiftly put away the Golden Light Divine Talisman. He signaled the young man to leave with his eyes before smiling. "True Man Mu, let us speak somewhere private."
"How private?"
"Heh, naturally, we'll go to your little wooden cabin. Don't be like this. We've been old companions for hundreds of years! Why are you still treating us like outsiders?"
Old Zhou Tou bared his teeth in a grin
