"Senior Brother, are you troubled by something? Why not speak plainly? Do you not consider me a brother?
I will be leaving the city soon after this visit, and if you don't talk now, there might not be another chance."
After some casual conversation, Hou Niao keenly detected an issue with Daoist Wang. Of course, it might have been that Daoist Wang intentionally let him notice because it was not easy to start such a conversation directly; an introduction was always needed.
Daoist Wang was startled and shook his head with a bitter smile. "I am ashamed. Cultivating the Dao Heart is tough. There are things I want to say but lack the courage, and not saying them makes it impossible to face alone. It's all clearly written on my face.
In my heart, I want to say it, but I force myself to keep quiet, the situation extremely awkward."
