Probably the closest he ever got to enlightenment! Gentry Maocai: Yeah. I can just imagine him sat there in the lotus position like some kung fu master statue. Oh sir, you do tell the funniest anecdotes. Those legs of steel are not going anywhere for me ever again! He just sits there, motionless, with this stony expression on his face like he's impersonating a statue of Guhua's founder or something. Gentry Maocai: When he finally gets back to the house, he slumps down on the floor and you can just tell. My kid makes it the longest sedan chair ride of his life, keeps the Guhua lad running for three days and three nights straight - no food, no water, no sleep. So I go to this Guhua lad and I say, oi! Legs of steel! Take this kid out for a ride in the sedan chair, and don't come back till he says he's had enough! Changhu: Your young one is certainly gifted with boundless energy, sir! Destined to follow in your footsteps, that's for sure! Gentry Maocai: You can probably guess what happened next. so that kid o' mine had just reached that age where they run around the house, screaming their heads off. Changhu: Ha! I mean, who'd be able to keep up with you, sir, if they didn't have a little endurance? Gentry Maocai: Anyway. Gentry Maocai: From day one, he was always boasting to me how his "legs of steel," as he called them, could carry him a thousand miles. Couldn't use a blade or bow to save himself. Although with the likes of you in the audience, sir, I'm hardly surprised that he was giving it all he had! Gentry Maocai: My last attendant, the guy before you, saw a Guhua guy. Hahaha, killed me! Changhu: Ahaha, you can say that again. That part about the Guhua Clan plaque getting smashed. Liu has made a name for himself as one of Liyue's top orators.
