Dead Heart Severed Thought

"Seventh Brother, you've met A Yu, met Sun Tiecheng, and you know where Fool's City is. Can you help me just this once?

Give me a chance to explain this clearly to Sun Tiecheng." Old Train pleaded sincerely.

But Li Banfeng found it difficult. "Brother, I don't think this can be explained clearly. Even now, I don't know which of you was truly in the wrong."

Old Train had thought about it for a long time as well. "If we really tally it up, we were both wrong."

"Yes, both wrong—but where exactly did we go wrong? How can it be made clear? And would making it clear even help?" Li Banfeng still could not find an answer.

Train Grandpa let out a long sigh. "Forget it. Pretend I never said any of this."

The room fell silent for a long while. Li Banfeng rose and said, "I'll make a trip to Fool's City and tell City Lord Sun about this. Whether he is willing to see you is up to him."

Sun Tiecheng asked, "Seventh Brother, I heard Three Heads Junction went to war."

"Senior Brother, your news came fast." Li Banfeng filled Sun Tiecheng's cup. "We won a crushing victory in this battle."

Sun Tiecheng nodded. "A'Gui gathered some intelligence. I heard Old Xu even got involved.
