Chen Pipi was smiling at him inside the stone window.

Only light could pass through the stone window. And even if someone on the precipice used the blood-colored huge blade to gouge at the stone, the sound would not be able to pass through into the prison cell. Chen Pipi immediately discovered Ning Que when he arrived outside the stone window, not because he shared a connection with Ning Que and also not because he had great divination skills, but because he had been looking out of the window all this time.

To be more exact, in the last few days, he ate, showered and farted, but did not sleep much. He spent all his time looking outside the stone window.

The deacon in the You Prison thought he had gone mad, just looking at the unchanging blue sky in a daze all day. But actually, he was waiting for Ning Que. He knew that Ning Que would come, but not when, so he could only keep looking out the window to ensure that he would not miss him.

Ning Que took out the letter he wrote and laid it flat against the window.

Using the light from the oil lamp, Chen Pipi looked at the small print on the paper and frowned slightly. He was indeed the genius of the Academy, the only one who scored six A+'s. He looked through it quickly and memorised the content on the paper. It would not be difficult for him to recite it again.

Ning Que kept the paper and smiled. He asked silently, ”Isn't it amazing?”

Chen Pipi only knew then, that it was the Academy's plan. He could not help but grow frantic. Now that he thought through it, he felt that it was rather rational. But in the end, he still shook his head.

It had nothing to do with the Academy's plan. He just disagreed with Ning Que's addition to the plan for rescuing him from the You Prison. The more rational the Academy's plan was, the more he could not accept the risk of foiling it.

Ning Que did not say anything when he saw Chen Pipi shaking his head. He pointed his middle finger.

Chen Pipi continued shaking his head and wrote some words with his finger in the air.

Ning Que looked at the words and frowned slightly. He did not understand why Chen Pipi brought her up.

He extended his finger and wrote a dirty statement in the air outside the window.

Chen Pipi felt a little angered, and wrote something even more crass with his finger.

Ning Que did not grow angry. What was happening now reminded him of when he first entered the Academy and how he had exchanged messages with the fat boy in the old library through a note. He could not help but laugh.

Time passed silently and disappeared without a trace. Who would have thought that many years later, he and Chen Pipi would come to the Peach Mountain and exchange messages through a precipice?

Chen Pipi must have thought of the past as well and he laughed silently, saying, ”The food in the You Prison is indeed good. If you're interested, you can come in and try.”

Then, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from behind him. Someone entered his cell, and Chen Pipi's smile faltered. He raised his brows at Ning Que who was outside the window.

Ning Que understood and quickly moved to the side of the precipice to ensure that the people in the cell would not be able to see him from his angle. Then, he looked into the cell. When he saw the person walking into the cell, he could not help but feel a little surprised, not knowing why the person would appear there.

Chen Pipi had never met the man entering the cell. He recognized the silver mask, if he had not remembered wrongly, which was why he was a little shocked and confused.

”If I haven't predicted wrongly, you should be very discreet in the West-Hill Divine Palace now. Why have you gone against the rules and visited me? Furthermore, how did you know I was imprisoned here? Don't tell me you still have cronies in the Judicial Department. I know how cold-blooded and powerful that woman is.”

Long Qing looked at the fat boy by the window and said, ”You are indeed the genius of Haotian Taoism. You seem to be able to see what's happening outside even though you've been shut in the You Prison. It's a pity... that you're useless now.”

Chen Pipi replied, ”Even though I've always been good natured, it does not mean that I do not have a temper at all. Even a blind man can see that you have no right to call me useless.”

Long Qing smiled and said, ”Your Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi have already been destroyed. What are you if not useless?”

Chen Pipi's expression did not change, and he said with a smile, ”Even a true useless person like you can regain your powers after being shot by Ning Que. Would I, a genius, be unable to do so?”

Long Qing said, ”You are still useless even if you regain your powers.”

Chen Pipi sighed and said, ”It seems that you've become childish after being bullied by Ning Que.”

Long Qing said, ”There's indeed no need to continue such a childish conversation. You're about to be burned by the Holy Fire at the Light Sacrifice. Why would I need to come and shame you again?”

”I want to hear why you think I'm useless.”

Chen Pipi's expresion wavered and he stood in front of Long Qing, and asked. He wanted to block the person and not let Ning Que, who was outside the window, see what he was saying. However, he was too late.

Ning Que saw what Long Qing said clearly.

The Light Sacrifice was the grandest sacrificial ceremony of the West-Hill Divine Palace. It required oblations of the highest level. No one knew what the oblation of the Light Sacrifice was until today.

Ning Que only found out tonight that Chen Pipi was the oblation of the Light Sacrifice. What was awaiting him was the burning of the holy Haotian Divine Light and death.

”This oblation is rather precious... and heavy.”

Ning Que smiled as he looked at Chen Pipi's wide figure within the prison. Then, he silently scolded Mrs. Zeng in his heart, calling her the most shameless prostitute in the world.
