Black Wolf set down his wine bowl and said solemnly, "Brother Mo, speak freely!"
Mo Yun lifted his bowl and took a sip. After a moment's thought, he slowly began, "Brother Black Wolf, I'm sure you know I don't get along with my second uncle's family."
Mo Yun knew Black Wolf must have investigated him and was thoroughly familiar with his past.
Sure enough, Black Wolf immediately said indignantly, "Brother Mo, forgive my bluntness, but your second uncle is a disgrace! He's occupied your family's property for years. Now that you've made something of yourself in martial arts, you should have dealt with him long ago!"

"Sorry for the trouble, brother." Mo Yun
