"Little Junior Brother can do it, but his body isn't flexible enough, so he can't put it into practice. He said that once he can perform Intermediate Footwork completely, he should be able to slim down."
"How long will that take?"

"What do you mean?" Song Daren asked curiously.
"Little Junior Brother can already perform the basic Footwork perfectly, but every time, he doesn't put his heart into practicing. Remember when he got drunk last time? We all saw the movement technique he used. I think he doesn't want to practice Intermediate Footwork, so he's just dragging things out. Even the basic Footwork makes his body hurt this much. I think the intermediate kind will be even more painful!"
"Then he shouldn't practice it! As long as we, his senior brothers, are still around, how could we let Little Junior Brother suffer?" Song Daren advised him, his heart aching for him.
"We're no match for Little Junior Brother. If he ever does suffer, we probably won't be able to help him anyway," Zhang Xiaofan replied dejectedly.
Song Daren froze for a moment.
That was true. Even all of them senior brothers together were no match for Little Junior Brother. If anything ever happened to him, the best they could do was avoid getting in his way.

"What's the matter? Is there something you want to talk to Shiniang about?" Su Ru led Little Fatty to the table and had him sit down, then asked with a warm smile.
"Shiniang, do you think it's bad for Master to be like that?" Luo Yunji voiced the question that had been troubling him
