"Brother, are you also here to join the Tianhe Sect?"
Xu Mu moved forward with the crowd, "inching" his way. The place was near overflowing with people coming to sign up for the Tianhe Sect, many hauling servants and families along, making the gates nearby look like a sea of people.
A youth clad in faded leaf-coloured clothes was pushed to Xu Mu's side due to the thronging crowd, and out of boredom, initiated a conversation.
"What else could one do at this time but apply!" Xu Mu shrugged.
This avatar of his had reached the expected age for initiation after the recent spell.
"You're right, indeed! Haha!" The youth scratched his head, finally realizing he had asked a rather silly question, his face slightly flushed.
"My name is Qi Yue, with 'Qi' as in 'level with heaven' and 'Yue' as in 'mountain'. What's your name?"
"Xu Da!"
Xu Mu answered.
"Is Xu Da? Do you have a younger brother named Xu Er?" Qi Yue instinctively asked.
"No!"
"Oh!"
