Chen San's attempt at reconciliation only made Aomuhan sneer disdainfully, "What's the use of being renowned for a long time? It only proves that he's old. As one ages, the body weakens—perhaps he was once a peak master, but now that he is older, what's left? This society is full of people who use their age to their advantage. Third Brother, I find your way of handling matters too conservative!"
Chen San exchanged looks with Chen Si beside him. When Aomuhan was in Shu, Ao Wuchang could keep him in check. Now that he had come to the Eastern Province, he was like a wild horse that had thrown off its bridle, revealing his arrogant and conceited nature. Chen San knew that with Aomuhan's personality, whatever he said would be useless, so he dropped the topic.
