Bai Ze's eyes lit up. "Besides Dragon-whiskered Tiger, there's another one."

Zhou Qingqing nodded slightly, waiting to see what other figure Bai Ze could name.

Zhou Qingqing pondered how to phrase things without dampening Bai Ze's spirits.

Heh, Bai Ze's wisdom was pretty good after all.
Zhou Qingqing paused. "Bai Ze, no need to say more. Just lead the way."
