Surely, trusting him was just an illusion, right? He’s just an old man who knows nothing but eating.
But Moh Li bowed his head and looked at the notebook, clutched it tightly, knowing that he couldn’t take it with him. It seemed that he could only read it here unless...
Moh Li didn’t want anyone else to know he was here, and he couldn’t be away for too long either. Biting his lip, he stuffed the notebook under his clothes and headed down the mountain!
Once the old man left his room, he hurried to the kitchen, salivating at the sight of the food. Why were those darn kids so slow?
Bai Xiang was determined to find herbs, but as they say, "dream on." Dragging Bai Fei around, they ended up running in circles in the same spot.
"Bro, can you even do this? You claim to be a genius, but I think ’dunce’ is more accurate."
Bai Fei rubbed her stomach; she was hungry now. Indeed, only Zhizhi was reliable. All her brother did was talk big. Their rice balls were gone, and she was starving.
The corner of Bai Xiang’s mouth twitched. How could he be the dunce? He was trying his best to find the way, but somehow they were just running in circles, no matter how long they ran.
It was like hitting an invisible wall.
This feeling really sucked.
"What do we do now? Will you say something?"
Bai Fei was frantic; if they kept this up, she’d starve.
"Just wait, let me think this through. I feel like I’m onto something."
Bai Xiang narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing their surroundings. He sensed they weren’t completely directionless. He was about to make sense of it; he just needed to calculate meticulously.
Bai Xiang picked up a stick and started to work out calculations on the ground.
"At a time , you’re still solving problems?"
Bai Fei was at a loss for words. What was this, showing off? But even so, he chose the wrong moment.
"Don’t disturb me; I’m about to figure it out."
Bai Xiang spoke, furrowing his brow, which only increased Bai Fei’s frustration.
Suddenly, from somewhere, a tempting aroma wafted over.
Bai Fei stood up immediately. She smelled it, the scent of Roasted Chicken, so delicious.
Without hesitation, she pulled Bai Xiang up and started to run.
"Sister, what are you doing? I’m about to solve this, how are we supposed to get out now?"
Bai Xiang, being dragged along, felt somewhat helpless. Running was futile. How had she forgotten they had been running all morning?
"What wait? Wait until you’re only bones left? Just follow me."
Bai Fei ignored the path and ran with her eyes closed, swiftly guided by the aroma.
Bai Xiang could barely keep up.
"It’s no use; you shouldn’t... What? We’re out?"
Bai Xiang’s eyes widened. The scenery had changed; they were actually seeing Wu Wa and Bai Zhi?
Was this even possible?
So he had calculated for so long, and it wasn’t as effective as a Roasted Chicken? Was that the message here?
Bai Zhi and Wu Wa were getting ready to eat the Roasted Chicken. Bai Fei arrived just as Wu Wa had stepped out, of course, because the old man had modified the Formation as a training exercise for them. Nevertheless, they had done quite well.
Bai Fei’s eyes were practically glued to the Roasted Chicken. Hearing her voice, Bai Zhi stopped what she was doing.
She looked up and smiled at Bai Fei. She knew that once her cousin smelled the food, she would definitely find her way out. She never doubted her passion for food.
"Right, everyone’s here. We can go and eat now, let’s go."
