"Not very sturdy? What do you mean?" Shen Yushu blinked in confusion.
Gu Mengyao could barely hold back a laugh. Her best friend might look a little simple, but without anyone quite noticing, she could lead a person around in circles and torment him within an inch of his life.
"That... that shark probably had false teeth! That's why they weren't sturdy!" Su Taizao saw that An Liwen was looking rather awkward and hurried to cover for him.
"False teeth? Do sharks go to the dentist too?" Shen Yushu said in surprise. "Are there clinics in the sea?"
An Liwen was furious. Was there something wrong with Su Taizao? Even falling-down drunk was no excuse for such nonsense—a shark with false teeth? Did he think it was a human being?
"No, don't listen to his nonsense!" An Liwen said hastily. "The shark I fought was an old shark. Its teeth were already loose, so it couldn't take a beating!"
"Oh, so it was an old shark!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Brother Jianwen, you're really amazing—you could even tell it was an old one!"
"Haha... I'll say! All right, enough of that—let's move on to the next question!" An Liwen waved a hand. "Another day I'll invite you over to my house alone. I still have that shark's skin kept there!"
"Oh, wonderful! I've never seen what an old shark's skin looks like. I absolutely must have someone examine it and see how it differs from a young shark's!" Shen Yushu nodded. "I love studying sharks more than anything!"
An Liwen nearly cursed himself for an idiot. Why on earth had he brought up shark skin? If Shen Yushu actually went to look, where was he supposed to get one? Ordinary shark skin would be easy enough—just buy a piece at the market—but old shark skin would be hard to come by! What if Shen Yushu had it examined and found it wasn't from an old shark? Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
"Fine, we'll talk about it another day, then!" An Liwen had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. That done, he hurriedly turned to Chen Yuxuan. "Brother Yutian, it's my turn to ask!"
"All right, go ahead." Watching An Liwen make a fool of himself, Chen Yuxuan found it quite amusing. His little sister really was a first-rate treasure; when it came to needling someone, she could needle them to death.
"Who is the most important person to you?" An Liwen had meant to ask something tricky, but then he remembered that Su Taizao had said they should keep the first round to ordinary questions. If he jumped straight to something pointed, it just wouldn't be right, so he casually asked something fairly ordinary instead. In his mind, the most important person to Chen Yuxuan was naturally Qiu Lingshan.
"The most important person to me is none other than the instructor from my special training!" Here Chen Yuxuan glanced at Wei Zhao with something like reverence, but seeing that Wei Zhao was not looking at him at all, he could not help feeling a little disappointed. Still, he went on aloud: "He changed my life, gave me ideals, gave me goals, made me a formidable soldier! If it were possible, I would be his student forever!"
Chen Yuxuan's words left An Liwen and Su Taizao somewhat puzzled. Not having seen him for a few years, Chen Yuxuan had indeed changed quite a lot—but they did not know who his instructor was, so they thought nothing much of it. Whether he was still pursuing Qiu Lingshan was no great concern to An Liwen or Su Taizao either.
Shen Yushu, though, glanced at her brother in surprise. She had never expected that her brother—who had once been so infatuated with Qiu Lingshan—would say such a thing! The most important person to him was actually his instructor! It seemed her brother really had matured a great deal, and had found new ideals and goals in life... Only, who was his instructor? Was he really that formidable? Was he as formidable as Arrow Brand Brother?
