'Two Grandmasters are having a falling out over me?'
'What an honor!'
'If word of this got out, I could brag about it for at least ten years. In all of Xuan Yang, you could probably count the number of people with such luck on one hand. In the Northern Territory, I'm probably the first.'

Yan Shao'an slapped his thigh repeatedly, his behavior somewhat unrestrained.
"Elder Pei, fortunes turn. This time, it's finally my turn."
