"Heavenly Masters are really becoming more and more common these days," Huai Xu commented, following behind Zhou Li.
"Hmm."
"But you can't really blame anyone, can you? You were the first, after all. The earlier Heavenly Masters acquire more Spiritual Power and are thus rarer; those at the very front are doomed to walk alone," Huai Xu continued. "If you have to blame something, blame your country's system that keeps kids cooped up in schools every day, unable to find companions."
"I'm not blaming anyone..."
"I think as time goes... goes..."
"Moves on."
"Right, right, moves on," Huai Xu nodded. "As time moves on, we'll meet more and more Young Heavenly Masters."
"You could have just said 'as we go on,'" Zhou Li said, stopping. He seemed somewhat at a loss. "I don't know how to tell her."
"Scared?"

Zhou Li still stepped forward. Once he stood in front of the girl, he asked, "Junior, looking for a club?"
