Li Yao was taken aback, as there were virtually no people who knew Ronin's story in the previous life.
It wasn't until he married one of the Windrunner sisters and then became the Great Mage of Dalaran that he came into the public eye.
Therefore, even Li Yao didn't have a deep understanding of Ronin, only a rough knowledge of his experiences.
After clinking his bottle with Ronin's, Li Yao said, "I am the last person to believe in luck. Whoever teams up with me ends up jinxed—if that really were the case, why would we still be fine right now?"
Ronin took another swig of strong liquor.
"Tell me your story, why even you think you're a jinx," Li Yao grew increasingly curious.
