The structure of all the rooms was basically the sa. I looked at the nails in the room and then went to the hardware store in town to buy so materials. I got a nail puller, bought so nails that were the sa size, and then blackened them with fire. anwhile, Bai Haotian and Xiang Dun made an appointnt with Hong Ding Shuixian. They used the thod I had taught them to reveal that they had so clues about the calling spring.
We didnt know who Hong Ding Shuixians boss was, but Bai Haotian asked Hong Ding Shuixian to help her make an appointnt with that young man. She told him that in order to find the entrance to the calling spring, she needed that person to get involved. In this way, an appointnt was made. After getting everything together, Hong Ding Shuixian, the young man, Bai Haotian, and Xiang Dun would ask the boss on the fourth floor for money.
The fourth floor was actually quite relaxed. The young man didnt want to leave the fourth floor to et them, so they faced each other in the corridor next to the stairs.
I took off all my disguises and chatted with Fatty in the courtyard below, pretending to have an argunt. Fatty pointed at , "Ive been working so hard to find out about that place, so there will definitely be news later. Why dont you just wait and quit being so impatient?"
I turned my back to them and said to Fatty, "I am your father." (1)
Fatty was very angry, but he was afraid that those people could read lips, so he had to keep acting. After our little performance was over, we went back to the room and I asked the others how things were going. At this ti, I quickly discovered that Bai Haotian hadnt co back yet.
Xiang Dun told that Bai Haotian and the young man went back to his room, saying they had sothing to do. I paused, feeling a little worried in my heart. Bai Haotian was a little girl, so she shouldnt be going behind enemy lines so hastily. But Xiang Dun told that everything was fine. The fourth floor was much more relaxed than we had initially thought. Even if they had been discovered, based on the atmosphere of their chat just now, those people wouldnt lay hands on anyone.
I thought about it for a mont and had to agree. This was a rescue operation, after all. It wasnt impossible to do things like murder or arson before you reached the deep mountains, but it was certainly unnecessary.
Xiang Dun said that they didn't talk much about any substantive issues, just about the possibility of cooperating with each other. As expected, the young man recognized at a glance. When Bai Haotian and Xiang Dun told him that they wanted to betray for money, the young man's reaction was very strange. He said to them, "Impossible. That person controls everyone around him. Theyll co to a tragic ending eventually."
I took a deep breath. My defensive instincts prevented these words from piercing my heart, but suddenly saying sothing like that still made my heart tremble.
Xiang Dun asked what these words ant, but I couldn't answer him.
Everyone was the protagonist of their own life, while all the other people were just re passers-by. In my own dramas, I always placed myself in a supporting role in the beginning so that I could look at all of the problems. The protagonists around were tempered by fate, while I was just a wandering poet watching and recording all that I had seen and heard. There were difficulties, along with life and death, but my brushwork was always steady.
I eventually realized that this was wrong. No one should ever think that they were a supporting role. Instead, they should be the protagonist of their own life, while also understanding that they were always the supporting role in other people's lives. If they kept their imaginary life out of other people's lives, then it would make things a little easier.
Bai Haotian seed a little dazed when she returned to the room. I noticed that her expression looked a little confused as she walked up to and spread her hands out, "He gave it to and told to show it to you."
I picked it up and looked at it. It was half a copper coin, which looked like the one A Ning liked. "He also said that you owe his sister an explanation, Bai Haotian continued. He didn't co here for the calling spring. He ca here for you."
Fatty was puzzled, "Mr. Nave, what did you do to him?" As soon as he spoke, he also recognized the copper coin, Oh.
My sche had obviously been seen through, but it wasn't my fault. Even if it was A Ning's brother, my plan was still the sa. The only difference now was that I would be the bait instead of the money.
"He also said that none of the people who follow you co to a good end." Bai Haotian said as she bit her lower lip. "I slapped him. Hes looking for soone to hate, but what does that have to do with you? When his sister entered the business, you werent even in the business at all."
After listening to this conclusion, it was obvious that the two of them had a deep discussion. Bai Haotian stared at with trembling lips, so I asked slowly, "Is he going to see in person?"
Bai Haotian nodded, "Don't go. I think hes going to do sothing bad to you."
I didn't say anything else and just patted Fatty before going out. Bai Haotian looked at us, but didn't follow.
"Little Bai was a little off just now," Fatty said to .
I could also tell that her heart had changed, and it was the young man's words that had brought the impact. I didnt know whether this change was towards or that young man, but Bai Haotian was a good girl. I didnt want to think the worst of her.
"What does that guy want to do?"
I looked across the corridor. As expected, that guy was on the fourth floor opposite us, looking down at . This was the first ti he and I had looked at each other like this.
I watched as the guy lit a cigarette and made a gesture like he was sniping at .

TN Notes:
(1) Ok, I apparently missed this last ti but its kind of a joke made in poor taste? Tiffany and I think it's a mix of the whole Star Wars Luke, I am your father thing and respecting your elders. Like, Wu Xie would be arguing that hes the father so he cant be refuted. We'll just say Wu Xie is bad at improvising lines while Fatty is great at it lol
