One of them was Zheng Lei, who was clapping furiously at the moment, shouting, "Brother Lie, count me in!"
The other was Xia Hongjuan, a local girl nicknamed Big Hero, proficient in everything from marketing management to research reporting.
She didn't join the commotion, her head bowed as she furiously scribbled notes.
Sitting next to her, Lou Zhi muttered sourly, "What's the use of noting down this stuff? Han Lie says a few random things, and you treat it like scripture?"
"AHEM!" Duan Xiaoyi cleared his throat and began to pontificate. "What Brother Lie said isn't necessarily wrong, but it's all rehashed old points, nothing new. If you want to learn, you should spend more time on Taoguba looking at the insights of real masters. That would be more helpful. And is that how cycles are used? The very first step, conceptually, isn't rigorous..."
Big Hero initially ignored him, but he kept babbling endlessly, forcing her to look up.
