Paper Making Building.
Cultivation Room.
Lin Fan buried his head over the desk and continued copying various books about Paper Figure Art. Because of this, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of Paper Figure Puppet Technique.
Just then, footsteps suddenly approached from afar.
Before the person arrived, a voice had already carried inside.
"Junior Brother Chen, you're living quite comfortably."
The newcomer wore gray robes. His face was somewhat gaunt, and he was disheveled and unkempt. It was Xue Jie, whom Lin Fan had not seen for a long time.
Lin Fan was startled. He quickly rose and said, "Senior Brother Xue."
Xue Jie waved his hand, his expression complicated. "I really can't accept you calling me Senior Brother."
"Now that Paper Making Building is personally under your charge, and you have earned the esteem of the elders on Paper Figure Peak, I can't compare with you anymore."
A trace of resentment colored his tone.
"They locked me in the rear mountain for several months. I really do miss the surroundings of Paper Making Building."
"That place in the rear mountain isn't fit for human habitation."
Xue Jie dropped heavily into a seat.
Lin Fan asked, "Senior Brother, have you made any plans for the future? Why not stay at Paper Making Building? From now on, everything here can still be arranged according to your wishes."
Xue Jie froze for a moment and gave Lin Fan a deep look. "Junior Brother Chen, you've surprised me."
"Although Paper Making Building isn't anything special, it's still a lucrative post. You're really willing to let me come back?"
"When I first entered Paper Making Building, it was thanks to Senior Brother's guidance. Besides, these matters originally belonged to you."
"As long as Senior Brother agrees, I'll naturally return them to their rightful owner."
