Besides inheriting that penchant for showing off from Elder Mu and his faction, Ouyang Sword wasn't a bad person at his core. You could even say he was quite simple at times.
Obsessed with the Sword Dao and fond of nothing but Swordsmanship, he was a very focused, one-dimensional person.
In contrast, the man before him, Ouyang Wu, seemed far more calculating.
Ouyang Wu smiled. "Lord Shen, you are truly broad-minded. And you're right; friendships like yours are naturally based on character, not on what can be gained."
Shen Bai gestured at the table and said, "Why don't you sit and have a meal with me?"
Ouyang Wu glanced at the messy table, shook his head, and said, "Lord Shen has already finished. It would be tactless of me to sit down now, so there's no need for me to eat here."
Shen Bai looked at the money on the table. "In that case, you must have come to see me about something. Why not sit? We can talk it over slowly."
