”Grand Master!” Ye Jin turned his head around in a panic. ”Is it only Qi Shan's parasol leaves that are effective?”
The monk stroked his beard and nodded, ”Qi Shan is a wise man, the parasol tree at the top of the mountain is also a sacred object to the sun for a thousand years. Only it can. ”
The more Bai Xiaonan heard, the weirder she felt it was. When they were going up the mountain, she saw the parasol tree too, but it grew on a very steep cliff wall.
Wasn't this old monk doing this on purpose?
Although he knew that it was very possible that this monk was just spouting nonsense, he would rather believe it than not. Besides, Huo Tindong usually had so many competitors, so it would be easy for him to attract one or two people who wanted to get rid of him. Even if it was useless, he had to try.
Ye Jinxin stood up and bowed respectfully. Then, she pulled Bai Xiaonan away from the crowd.
Gao Yunqi was waiting for them outside. After seeing the two come out, he curiously asked, ”I saw so many people that they didn't go in. Is there anything fun inside?” As he spoke, he stood up on his tiptoes and peeked inside.
Bai Xiaonan felt unhappy in her heart, rolling her eyes at Gao Yunqi, ”Don't look, there's nothing else. There's only a group of idiots surrounding a swindler.”
After saying that, he turned to Ye Jinxin and said with hatred, ”Student Ye Jinxin, you have received a high education, you wouldn't believe what that monk said, right?”
Ye Jinxin did not say anything. His clear black and white eyes rolled over as he suddenly pulled Bai Xiaonan over to Gao Yunqi's side and sincerely said, ”Student Gao Yunqi, can I ask for your help?”
Hearing that the girl had taken the initiative to ask for his help, a hint of happiness appeared on the youth's young and handsome face. ”If there's anything you want to say, just say it.”
Ye Jinxin pursed her lips, ”Can you help me bring Xiao Nan safely down the mountain?”
Bai Xiaonan was stunned, ”Ye Jinxin, what do you mean by that?”
Gao Yunqi also nodded in agreement, ”If you want to leave, then let us leave together, why did you suddenly ask us to leave first?”
Ye Jinxin frowned and let out an embarrassed sigh. She lowered her head and bashfully said, ”I want to go to the top of the mountain again.”
Bai Xiaonan was puzzled, ”Didn't we just come down from the top of the mountain?” ”Brilliant Heart?” Bai Xiaonan's eyes widened in disbelief, ”You can't really be thinking of going to the top of the mountain to find some parasol leaf!”
”What Wutong Leaf?” Gao Yunqi asked with a frown.
Bai Xiaonan pushed him away, ”Don't worry about it.”
Ye Jinxin lowered her eyes and answered with an unconfident 'Mhmm'.
”What are you thinking!” Bai Xiaonan couldn't help but point a finger at her head, ”That monk looks like he's the god that jumped, but you still believe his words. Did you know that the wutong tree grew on the cliff? If you go and pick its broken leaves, you will be in danger.”
”I won't!” Ye Jinxin suddenly raised her head and grabbed Bai Xiaonan's hand, ”You forgot. I told you before, when I was young, the thing I knew how to do the most was to climb trees. There definitely wouldn't be any danger.”
