Disciple was baffled for a moment and asked, "Senior Brother, was that you knocking on the bed plank just now?"
Senior Brother felt embarrassed: "Junior Brother, why are you still not resting? What's that in your hand...?"
Junior Brother quickly hid the storybook and said evasively, "I just casually picked a storybook from the Mortal World to read. What about you, Senior Brother?"
Senior Brother went silent for a while: "I also just casually picked a storybook."
The two stared at each other again for a while.
Junior Brother tentatively said, "The protagonist of my book is a Cultivator of the Ghost Path."
Senior Brother: "Mine too."
Junior Brother: "His parents died when he was young."
Senior Brother: "Mine too."
Junior Brother: "Later, his wife also died."
Senior Brother: "Mine too."
The two looked at each other for a while, and Junior Brother took a deep breath: "I'll count to three and then we'll both take out our storybooks."
They both nodded.
"One, two, three!"
