Zhou Xuennian finally saw the man he had met briefly many years ago. Now, the man had become a high official, more composed than before, less youthful, with a faint aura of authority.
"Big Brother, it's been many years, and you've changed as well." Wu Lihong, having already learned about their meeting from Fu Gui, still greeted Zhou Xuennian warmly.

Fu Gui deeply disapproved of Zhou Xuennian, thinking that even though his official rank had been revoked, he should know better, having read the sacred and wise books—did he not understand the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate lineage?
