"Well… um…" Logan scratched the back of his head, clearly flustered and at a loss for words.
"Huh, Logan," Ali spoke up with a mock frown, trying his best to look serious, though the teasing in his eyes betrayed him. "And here I thought you respected me as your master. You could've taught me the technique too, couldn't you?"
Logan scratched his head again, clearly embarrassed. "It's not like that, Master… Rowan helped me in ways I can't fully explain. And it's not that I didn't want to teach you... I just… didn't get the right opportunity."
He finally said after hesitating for a while.
Ali clicked his tongue but smiled. "Is that so? Alright, I'll trust you."
He then turned to Rowan, his tone curious. "So, Prince… how far have the two of you reached?"
Rowan nodded and answered, "Based on what Logan taught us back then, we've successfully completed the formation of our dantian. We think we've reached the second stage, though… we don't actually know what that stage is called."
