บท 2549: Inflexible Biases

"Thank you for all your time and effort, Master Rui." One Master of the Water Sect bowed lightly with deference. "I am aware, more than most, of how important your time is and just how important your role in human civilization is. Unlike the Martial Artists of the Lower Realms, we are aware that you are one of the two pillars that support all of human civilization in this Era of Darkness. Rest assured, we will fill in for you while you complete your noble undertaking to bring salvation upon a dying human civilization."

Her voice was filled with admiration and awe, offering complete deference to him. Rui was actually taken aback by how much deference she showed to him despite also being of the Master Realm as he was.
