"I know that I was a bit rude when I dealt with you at first, I'm usually not like that, I just have a small problem that makes me lose my calm very easily, I was usually able to suppress it, but I had strangely lost my control during the whole time since we met, I'm not sure why that happened though…" Mountain explained before he took a small pause…
'Hmmm, is it because of the mind bugs?'
While I didn't know what was the reason behind Mountain's mental problem, I could only guess that the loss of self control might have been caused by those 'Ancient Bewitching Marks' as they were the only strange thing that should have happened to him…
After all, they did lose a part of their memories and even follow certain commands at the very end, so the bugs being the cause of a simple effect such as losing control of certain emotions didn't sound wrong at all.
"In any case, it's still my fault, I was even more rude when I attacked your senior when he was obviously guarding us back then, I certainly feel light-headed when I come to think of the whole journey from its start to the end, I'm not even sure as to why I agreed so readily to checking that ruin, but that certainly doesn't waive away my responsibility for what I did, so once again, I deeply apologize for my behaviour!" Mountain added before getting up from his chair and giving me a deep bow…
"Mhm, it's alright, it's not just you that were facing a strange time, we all where, you already apologized so please raise your head, besides, my I know my senior brother, he usually goes overboard when dealing with others as well, I would like you to accept my apology for what he might have done as well," I simply nodding before giving a proper reply.
Seeing Mountain's current behaviour was already more than enough for me, he was truly sincere and he didn't even seem half as bad as he was when I first met him, the whole dilemma was already caused by something else, so I only found it right that I apologize for using him as a demonstrating factor to the power of 'Zero' since he did the same.
I had only used him to display my flexing knowing that he would act like he was the boss of the place, but if it was just a mental problem that he didn't have control of back then, then he was to be pardoned about it.
"There's no need for that, it was just a situation where we both triggered the other, so it's only correct of me to apologize, I had only came back to my complete sanity when I woke up in Battle City, Sean did explain a few parts that I almost had no memory of and pointed out my faults, which is why I have been trying to find you since then to apologize for my poor behaviour," Mountain raised his head with a smile as he said.
"It's totally fine senior Mountain, let's just eat before the noodles get too cold," a smile instinctively planted itself on my face as I responded politely and picked up my chopsticks.
Disregarding his erring behaviour that should have been caused by the bug's interference, the current Mountain completely acted like a great example for a senior in the sect society, which is why I couldn't help myself but call him like that, he reminded me of the Green Earth Village's chief, as they were both natives that managed to earn my respect.
"Hahaha, it's great that we came to an agreement! I agree, we should eat as a celebration!" Mountain was already engaged in an eating battle with his own bowl as soon as soon as he finished his words.
While I did have a large amount of food earlier, I simply couldn't let my own bowl go to waste, so I did the same since I still had some space to put more food anyway, 'Dragon's Stomach' was really such a convenient skill!
Thankfully, the few customers who were still in the shop were mostly focused in their food to a scary degree, so the whole thing that happened just now didn't cause any problems as we simply ate and exchanged a few words, ordering a few more bowls to go with the discussion, I only managed to leave the shop after another hour…
"See you later Lan, it was pretty nice having this small talk, let's repeat it again when you can!" Mountain cheerfully said as he gave me a slight wave while standing by the shop's door.
"Of course!" I replied with a similar wave before heading out, while I did find the talk nice, I didn't want to postpone my sleep anymore…
"How do you know him?" Mountain's brother asked.
"It's due to some strange occurrence that's a bit hard to explain, why do you ask, is there something wrong with him…?" Mountain asked in confusion.
"It's nothing really, he just seems to have a great appetite…"
"Eh…?"
I hastened my steps a bit when I heard what they said being only a few meters away from the shop, as I didn't want to make the situation more awkward…
'I should do this less, maybe a takeout would do when it's the next time that I need to fill my glutton dragon's stomach…'

Back at the hotel…
"Oh, dear customer, you have returned! I thought you would return sooner or later so your room is as it is," the same receptionist that I used to deal with said with a business smile on his face.
"That's good then, I will reserve it for 3 nights then."
I wasn't going to stay for more than 2 days, but since he was trying to be a good host, I decided to just add one more night to the pay, after all, I did keep the key with me till now, so it was just a simple compensation as well
I just had a meal that cost me 5 gold anyway, so I simply handed the three gold coins to the receptionist without much thought.
"Thank you for your patronage! Do accept this, it's on the house!" the receptionist said as he received the gold coins before handing me a booklet that had a similar design to the one I bought before.
'Is this his attempt to make this less awkward?'
I wondered if he just gave me a random book from what they sell to make it seem like a transaction since I had the key already…
"This is?" I asked as I took a quick look at the booklet.
"It's nothing much, just another introduction booklet of our products, I think you might find it to your liking…" the receptionist simply replied like that before he moved away to talk to another client…
Seeing the title inscribed as 'Sect Introduction for confused apprentices', I simply decided to go up and take a look at it later.
'This might indeed be of great help, but now is not the time for that…'
It was about time for me to be reunited with my bed!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
