At noon on the day the Eight Schools Tournament began,
in the Goryeo War Zone, at an open-air tavern in Xinquan City, Cui Dongxu sat across from Yuna.
A main road of Xinquan City lay right below the tavern, bustling with people and noise.
Yet, the open-air tavern was empty, with only Cui Dongxu and Yuna present.
A group of players attempting to enter the tavern was suddenly stopped by a high-level player at the door, who said:
"This tavern is booked for today; try someplace else."
The two players immediately protested:
"Asi-ba, do you know who we are? What right do you have to deny us entry?"
The player blocking the door sneered and said:
"I wonder if President Cui of the Seven Stars Association has the right to book this tavern?"
The two players' faces changed drastically upon hearing the name of the Seven Stars Association, and upon realizing it was Cui Dongxu who booked it, they quickly bowed and said:
"Oh, it's President Cui, apologies, apologies, we'll leave now."
