Amidst the waterfall’s rushing current, random feathers fluttered silently along the water’s flow, all but invisible in the pounding spray. Even Cui Wuji thought it was impossible to detect such things, let alone catch them, but Li Yuan extended his hand to grab them, then slowly pulled back.
Cui Wuji floated down from above, hovering over the surging waters. “Master Li,” he asked the figure perched on a slick stone, “did you get them?”

At length, he heaved a long sigh. “The heavens are unfair indeed...”
