After entering the Inner City, Shen Qing returned to the usual guesthouse he stayed at, acting as if nothing had happened.
As always, he called out to Shen Xiaohu to join him for a casual meal.
Since they had eaten a hearty meal at noon, neither of them was very hungry by the evening.
Seeing that the guests in the hall were gradually leaving, Shen Xiaohu moved his stool closer to Shen Qing and said, "Brother Qingzi, something happened."
Shen Qing picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and tossed it into his mouth, asking in confusion, "What happened?"
"Ouyang Tie Niu is dead. Not long after you left, Senior Brother Ouyang, who had not yet healed from his injuries, came to the sect wearing mourning clothes and asked our Hall Master uncle to preside over the funeral."
The chopsticks in Shen Qing's hand nearly slipped as he exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Ouyang Tie Niu is dead? We just had lunch together, how did this happen so quickly?"
