Zhou Li tried to learn about the experience Old Master Ma had when he encountered that demon in his youth, but Old Master Ma just chuckled and said nothing, so Zhou Li stopped asking.
Still, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Huai Xu said many humans who saw this kind of demon became obsessed with it, unable to extricate themselves. Zhou Li didn't know if Old Master Ma had ever felt this way in his youth, but from what he could tell now, he had clearly moved on. After all, so many years had gone by, and he was quite old. He should have realized long ago how unattainable that chance encounter was. Perhaps from that point on, he kept it deep in his heart, hidden for a lifetime, not to be shared with others.
Who says a fleeting meeting isn't fate?
Those beautiful enough things will remain deeply etched in memory, no matter how much time passes.
Approaching noon, Zhou Li received a message from Brother Nan—
Li Daimao: Come over to my place for lunch.
