Night Net Book is Lost. Where is the Master to Stay?

　　“Senior Brother! You’ve finally come to see us!”

　　Fourth Brother resembled a lively puppy. He ran around me and checked me out, examining me with curiosity.

　　“Senior Brother.”

　　Third Brother slowly came over. He narrowed his eyes behind his gla.s.ses and gave me a mysterious smile. This kid often has trouble controlling his expressions, so his smile looks sinister. That’s why people call him the hardest person among all of Night Fortress personnel to read.

　　“Senior Brother, are you serious about retiring?”

　　“Yes.” I touched his head, “I won’t inherit the Patriarch seat. Fourth, you better work hard not to let s.h.i.+fu and s.h.i.+niang down.”

　　“Understood! I will work hard!”

　　“Senior Brother…” In a m.u.f.fled voice, Third Brother said, “Are you really not going to succeed the Patriarch seat? s.h.i.+fu would be very disappointed.”

　　“No. I pa.s.s. s.h.i.+fu still has you guys. You’ve all grown up. You just need to find another Patriarch.”

　　“Senior Brother…” Third Brother wanted to speak but paused. Finally, he slowly said, “I don’t think that there’s anybody more…”

　　A loud voice cut Third Brother off before he could finish.

　　“Senior Brother!” Second Brother got up and looked at me with his teary and pa.s.sionate eyes. He opened his arms, “I want to give you a hug!” He charged over.

　　I quickly grabbed the back of his collar and restrained him. He kicked his feet and struck up a ruckus, “Let me down. Let me give you a pa.s.sionate hug!”

　　“Hug a t.u.r.d!” I threw him away again and angrily asked, “What happened to Night Fortress? How did somebody take it?”

　　“Erm…” Second Brother, who I just threw away, hesitated for a moment and then thumped his chest with pa.s.sion, “Let’s put that aside for now! Come! Let me have a hug!”

　　I threw him away with abhorrence. I then took a step back and helped up the Princess lying on the ground.

　　The beautiful Princess with pure white skin had her eyes shut. Her tall physique fit my embrace perfectly. Her valleys of pride rose and fall in accordance with her breathing. She looked so beautiful it was captivating.

　　I could see a small lump on the back of her head.

　　Third Brother sure had hit her hard. His skills with a rod are improving…

　　“Cut the drivel.”

　　Only after I glared at my Second Brother did he wipe his grin away. He had known my temperament since we were kids, so he stopped his stupid acts when I got serious.

　　Second Brother had his head down, similarly to a child that made a mistake. He initially stuttered, but then told me the entire story. After finding out what happened, I was so stunned I couldn’t shut my mouth.

　　“Jin w.a.n.gsun? He, alone, challenged Night Fortress?”

　　‘The Big Golden Vat did?!’

　　“Yeah. We didn’t want to lose to him like that, either, but you weren’t there at the time… As a result, he challenged Night Fortress, and then the Gold and Silver Sect occupied our place.”

　　“What were you doing then?! What were you all doing during my absence? What? You can bully girls, but sit on your laurels when a strong foe rocks up?”

　　Second Brother rubbed his hands and chuckled awkwardly. He scratched his head, “Not entirely. The main reason was that we didn’t have what it took to match them, at the time… Over two-hundred of their members came. We didn’t have enough manpower.”

　　“We don’t even have two-hundred men? We had over a thousand men when I left. What happened to all of them?”

　　Third Brother stepped out and pushed his gla.s.ses up, “They were dismissed.”

　　“Dismissed?!”

　　He nodded, “Yes.”

　　“Who dismissed them?”

　　Third Brother smiled mysteriously, “Me.”

　　I finally understood how my s.h.i.+fu felt when he had wanted to strangle him to death.

　　I angrily asked, “What did you dismiss them for?”

　　“Senior Brother, it was all your fault?”

　　“My fault?”

　　‘Huh?! He’s s.h.i.+fting the blame again!’

　　Third Brother pushed his gla.s.ses up, leading to the golden string emitting a ray of intelligence.

　　“Bear in mind that the one thousand or so members of Night Fortress were weird people that you knocked the living daylights out of and then accepted into Night Fortress. There were mountain bandits, bandits and members of the Demon Sect. n.o.body could control them. You were able to control them, as you were strong enough to.”
