The boy nad Xiaoqi looked delicate, but actually had a lot on his mind. Perhaps he was afraid that Xiao Jinghuai and the others would go back on their word, or perhaps he feared they wouldn’t be able to help him escape. Therefore, he didn’t imdiately reveal what he knew, but instead said, "Taohuawu is not an ordinary place. It’s not a place you can just enter or leave as you please. If you want to tell you the secrets, you have to show what you’re capable of."
"For example... how about we get out of here first and then talk?"
Xiao Jinghuai slightly smiled, "I finally understand why her transformation was so drastic. This place really does nurture people."
Clearly, "nurture" here had another layer of aning, training people to undergo a complete change.
"Alright—" Xiao Jinghuai responded calmly, then looked at Jin Bao Yan, "Bao Yan, you take it from here."
The characteristic of Jin Bao Yan was... talking less and doing more.
While they were all talking away earlier, he had already surveyed the surroundings thoroughly.
Of course, no one understood this trait of his better than Xiao Jinghuai, which is why he promptly designated him to handle it.
At this mont, Jin Bao Yan took out a Yin Yang Eight Diagrams Plate from sowhere. He wandered around in Heaven for a bit and then started gesturing, muttering sothing about the life gate and four gates—
Jiang Yixiu moved closer out of curiosity, "Black-hearted ghost, what is this thing you’re dealing with?"
"Get lost—" Jin Bao Yan replied irritably.
Jiang Yixiu felt displeased, "What the hell, you’re acting like so street mystic."
"Shut up." Jin Bao Yan was angry, "It’s obvious you haven’t done your howork properly. Your mind is entirely on won. One of the reasons Taohuawu has been so mysterious is because... it deploys chanisms using the Bagua and Yin-Yang, so stay out of matters concerning life and death."
"Uh..." Jiang Yixiu was taken aback, "But black-hearted ghost, you didn’t know this stuff before!"
Jin Bao Yan coughed, "I just learned it."
"Damn!" Jiang Yixiu was almost exploding, "Old Xiao, you actually entrusted our lives to a guy who just learned to be a fake mystic. This... doesn’t seem like your usual way of doing things."
Xiao Jinghuai raised his cool eyebrows, "Why don’t you try?"
"Uh..." Jiang Yixiu was silenced once more, only able to shrink back, "Better leave it, black-hearted ghost is probably more reliable than ."
Facts proved that Jin Bao Yan was indeed trustworthy; soon, their group managed to leave the so-called Heaven.
Compared to Jiang Yixiu’s noisiness, Huo Junting remained silent the whole ti, feeling that sothing was not right.
It was as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching their every move, and he even had the thought that their easy exit from Heaven might also have been orchestrated by soone.
However, he didn’t voice this thought, lest he be accused of being overly cautious and thus cowardly.
By relying on Jin Bao Yan’s half-baked fake mystic skills, they arrived at a place full of fountains, with breathtaking scenery — a utopia unseen in the outside world.
If they weren’t all aware that this place was the filthiest on earth, they might really think they were in Heaven.
Xiao Jinghuai stood with his hands behind his back, resembling not a man entering a predicant, but more like a tourist leisurely visiting.
He asked, "Xiaoqi, where is this?"
Xiaoqi pointed in the direction of the fountains. There were very high steps there, seemingly endless, "There... is where that person lives."
Xiao Jinghuai composed himself, "Which person?"
