The Senior Brothers Have Been at Odds for a Hundred Years

Synopsis: The eldest senior brother and the second senior brother had a fight. Their master smiled and said not to worry. It was a disagreement over principles, they were both good kids, and they'd make up soon. The junior disciple was eight that year, and trusted his master completely. Then a hundred years passed, and the eldest and second senior brothers still hadn't made up. Their master smiled and said not to worry... At last, the junior disciple understood. On Iron Palm Peak, the eldest senior brother was in charge, the second senior brother handled the money, he was the one who got bossed around, and their master was the one no one needed to worry about. * The eldest senior brother was a once-in-a-millennium genius, best at forging swords. The second senior brother was a once-in-a-millennium genius, best at forging swords. The world lamented that fellow disciples looked down on each other, but the junior disciple knew the brothers still cared about one another. They just refused to let the other know, no matter what. For example, the eldest senior brother replenished the second senior brother's fire, then yelled at him: "If the junior brother hadn't replenished your fire, all your furnace materials would've been ruined!" For example, just now, the second senior brother had figured out what was missing from the eldest senior brother's furnace materials, but insisted on choosing Heart-Muddling Herb, which clouds the mind in its smoke, and had him secretly slip it into the eldest senior brother's sword furnace. Sigh. The junior disciple, who would be beaten tomorrow, couldn't smile as he carried the second senior brother's white robes to the back mountain. * Second senior brother: "Say that again?" The normally serious eldest senior brother giggled foolishly. "I want you to pretend we're in love, so the person I love will show himself!" The junior disciple was too scared to speak. That Heart-Muddling Herb was way too powerful, wasn't it? Second senior brother: "I'm expensive. You can't afford me." Eldest senior brother: "For him, I don't care!" Second senior brother: "Fine! The eldest senior brother's love runs deeper than the sea, so I'll do all I can to help! For the sake of our fellow disciples, all I want is everything you own. Here, sign this. Now add your fingerprint." Only after carefully putting away the spirit contract did the second senior brother remember to ask: "Who is the person you love?" The eldest senior brother giggled again. "I don't know. Last night, I saw him at the hot spring in the back mountain. He was dressed all in white..." Second senior brother: "..." Junior disciple: "Pfft, hahaha!"
