Why is it that I seem unable to understand their silence?
Mo Zheng appears as if he were a deaf man...
And Mo Tie, silent like a tree, seems to have transformed into something as ordinary as grass and wood...
How strange… Could it be that my understanding of the Silent Way isn't deep enough?
This is absurd! As a master, I can't grasp my disciples' Silent Way… Isn't that embarrassing if word gets out?
"Hmm? These two, why do they seem off somehow…"
The Stopper asked with a puzzled expression:
"Brother Silent One, do you understand their silence?"
The Silent One, though hesitant earlier, found himself unable to maintain composure upon hearing this, and said:
"Of course, I understand!"
With a forced resolve, he added:
"In observing Mo Zheng, I see that he has shut off his senses of hearing and speech. His heart aligned with the Silent Way has become as unyielding as iron!"
