Strangely enough, Junior Elder Liang didn't leave.
He sat down a few yards away from Lee, facing the east, and began to meditate as if he had always been here. Lee could only awkwardly scratch the back of his head, trying to figure out the young man's intentions. In the end he also sat and returned to guiding the elemental particles, trying to learn the most effective ways of employing them in attack.
For the next several days both boys felt uncomfortable with the junior elder around, but the guy never said anything. He didn't even more.
At first Lee thought he was showing off, trying to look cool, but after inconspicuously observing him for a couple of days, Lee came to conclusion that elemental lords lived in a completely different universe compared to regular people like him.
Liang Yusheng didn't eat or sleep. He never even drank water. He sat there unmoving, with his eyes closed, almost like a statue carved out of stone.
