Chapter 416 - Tailor (2/2)
”Here, let me tell you a little something.”
His righthand slightly raises as he brings the tip of his thumb and index finger together. Lightly stretching out his other three fingers, he motions a flick and spoke.
”This is how you usually flick your needles right?”
Yiqing's eyes shook at how Gui Tian Lan knew the way he handles his needles. However, he quietly nods his head yes.
Getting an answer, Gui Tian Lan gestures another sign with his fingers.
This time, he brings the tip of middle finger and thumb together.
”Instead of using with your index finger, use your middle finger. It has more strength and gives you a better control in aiming what is in your hands.”
Hearing the advice, Yiqing's brows arch up in amusement. He continuously nods his head in understanding and test out the new 'skill' he learned.
As he moves through the crowd, both his arms raised, and he starts to flick imaginary needles in every direction.
However, thinking about something, he turns to look at the man who has now become his new teacher.
”Master, how do you know this?”
”…”
Gui Tian Lan blinks his eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Never in his entire years of living has anyone called him master. Not only that, he thought it was common sense that flicking with your middle finger has more control and strength?
However, making up his mind, he laughs and fold his arms over his chest.
”Needles are my specialty. Understanding them is my job.”
”Your job?”
Yiqing questions in confusion. He can understand that needles are Gui Tian Lan's specialty, but what does that have to do with his job? Aren't the members of Alpha Team like Wolf Team?
Seeing that Yiqing can sometimes be slow, Gui Tian Lan heaves a long sigh. Unfolding his right hand, he points to himself.
”My student, your master here is a professional tailor.”
”…”
Yiqing's jaw dropped to the ground in disbelief at what he was hearing. How can a refine person like Gui Tian Lan be a tailor? No, more like, why be a tailor?
Oblivious to the thoughts of his new and only student, Gui Tian Lan's eyes subconciously glances away from the man only to suddenly widen them.
He and Yiqing were so into their discussion that he just now realized Qi Li was no longer in front of them.
Instead, the glasses man was already making a turn into the entrance of Uncle Zhi's shop!
”Bro, we gotta go!”
He spoke and without a care for the man in a daze, he grabs Yiqing by the collar of his coat and strides after Qi Li.
Ahead of the two men, Qi Li leisurely enters the rundown building, as Gui Tian Lan and Yiqing finally caught up to him in a few seconds.
Heading straight for the secret room in the back, Qi Li stood in front of one of the walls and gently place his palm near the far end.
With a light push, the entire wall in front of them slowly shifts in rotation.
As the three figures enter to the underground passage, the wall slowly shifts back into its normal position. It was as if no one had stepped foot into that room at all.
