"Ah, Steward Lang. You may rise..."
Bai Zichen recognized the man. They had dealt with each other a few times back at the Market.
As he paused, a round, clumsy-looking black and white Bear Beast clambered up the Cloud Ladder. Its limbs were short and stubby, and as it crossed the steps, its front legs tripped, and it tumbled right onto the Moon Land.
It lost its balance, its four limbs flailing toward the sky as it rolled all the way to its master's heels before stopping.
It struggled for a while before managing to right itself.
"Greetings, Elder Bai."
"Elder Bai, it's been many years since we last saw each other at Feiyue Lake! You've been breaking through realms one after another. Soon, we'll have to address you as a venerable senior..."
"My name is Liu Hui. My elder brother is an old acquaintance of yours."
