Silence!
Utter silence!
In a dimly lit room, where only a sliver of light could be seen through the window, two large barrels sat side by side, emanating clouds of steam carrying a pungent medicinal scent.
"Cough..."
Before long, a cough broke the quiet, and the barrel on the right erupted with "plop, plop" sounds of bubbling, a voice emerged:
"Palace Master Bai Zhou really made a move, personally entering the game."
"It's apparent, Bazhun'an has no desire to cooperate, neither does Xu Xiaoshou."
"The living beings of this world are mostly like this, aren't they? Given the choice between one and two, they always seem to want to break through to a third."
"Little do they know, they can never escape the calculations set by the Way of the Heavens' energy movement behind them."
With a splash, the medicinal liquid spilling from the barrel transformed into paper cranes upon hitting the ground.
