Yun Chujiu was staring at the green stone slab in a daze. She said carelessly, “Didn’t he already said it once? I’m just repeating it.”
Feng Ming was stunned at first, then he cried out in surprise, “What? What did you say?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Feng Ming. He instantly returned to his usual cold and aloof state, as if the scream just now was an illusion.
At that time, Yun Chusi and the others walked over and beckoned Yun Chujiu back to the kitchen.
She finally shifted her gaze away from the green stone slab and said to Hou Tian, “Manager Hou, please help me ask for half a day’s leave from Elder Huang.”
Feng Ming also chimed in, “Yes, just say that I have a favor to ask of Ninth Junior Sister.”
Hou Tian smiled and agreed, then left with Yun Chusi and the others.
“Junior Sister Jiu, you can really remember everything you’ve heard? Also, what’s so great about this broken green stone slab?” Feng Ming was extremely curious.
Yun Chujiu waved her hand at him and ignored him. She continued to focus her attention on the green stone slab.
Feng Ming rubbed his nose in boredom and also lowered his head to look at the green stone slab. However, other than a bunch of meaningless patterns, he really could not see anything else.
Feng Ming looked at it for a while and felt dizzy. He shook his head and sat at the side to meditate.
The onlookers could not help but discuss among themselves when they saw Yun Chujiu frowning and raising the corners of her mouth at times.
“Is Yun Chujiu crazy? What is she doing?”
“I don’t know. She has always looked abnormal. How can a girl’s hair be that short?!”
“A good-for-nothing without spiritual power naturally thinks differently from us. Maybe she thinks those patterns are beautiful!”
“Tsk tsk. Those questions just now… How did that good-for-nothing answer all of them correctly?”
“Tsk! What’s so strange about that! Isn’t Senior Brother Feng Ming sitting next to her? It must be Senior Brother Feng Ming who helped her.”
“Ah, what you said makes sense!”
Feng Ming curled his lips. What the hell was he helping?! Not only did he not know the answers, even if he did, he would not dare to do anything under Elder Qi’s watch!
Two hours passed… Four hours passed… The number of people in the square decreased but Yun Chujiu still had her head down. Although, she had stared at a few different green stone slabs.
Another four hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened. Yun Chujiu was completely unaware. She continued to stare at the patterns on the stones under the moonlight.
Feng Ming ended his meditation and saw that Yun Chujiu was still staring at it. He asked worriedly, “Junior Sister Little Jiu, are you okay?”
Yun Chujiu waved her hand and continued staring as if she was possessed.
Seeing this, Feng Ming had no choice but to take out a few buns from his storage bag and pass them to Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu could not resist eating as she stared at the green stone slab while eating the steamed buns.
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, it’s getting late. I’ll send you back first. If you’re interested in the patterns on these, come back tomorrow!”
Yun Chujiu finally raised her head and said sincerely to Feng Ming, “Senior Brother Feng Ming, do me a favor and help me apply for another day off. I want to study these patterns properly.”
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, are these patterns special?” Feng Jiu asked curiously. Although he had not known Yun Chujiu for very long, he felt that this little girl was always able to do some unexpected things.
“Mmm, there should be a big secret behind this! But I’ve only discovered a little clue! I need time to continue to study it and can not stop, or else my train of thought will be cut off!” Yun Chujiu knew that she had to get Feng Ming’s support, so she explained patiently.
