Chapter 1715: I Wish My Building Blocks Were Gold
Little Taotie saw Hua Jinyan holding back his laughter, his face almost distorted, and angrily turned away, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, holding it in will cause internal injuries."
Hua Jinyan stopped smiling, stepped forward, and circled around to face Little Taotie: "I’m not laughing at you, I’m just laughing at the Phoenix."
"Laugh at the Phoenix?"
"The head of the birds, even it should be afraid of you."
"Of course!"
Hua Jinyan squinted his eyes: "When did you see the Phoenix?"
Little Taotie’s shoulders slumped: "I saw it in a dream, you can’t make fun of me."
"How could I make fun of you? Are you sure the Phoenix was scared of you in the dream? Under what circumstances did it run away when it saw you?"
"I can’t really remember, I recall one day, the Phoenix came to bother my mom in the dream. Later, I ran out and shouted at it. I was really angry that someone was bullying my mom, and then the Phoenix fled, dropping a tail feather that mom used to make a fan for me. I was very young then, still in the Lion Tribe, hadn’t become the War God’s mount."
Hua Jinyan seemed thoughtful, nodding: "For those Gold Bricks, you’re planning to remove the curse one by one?"
"I think the Ancient Pagoda, although clumsy, probably doesn’t want to become the Tower of Evil Spirits, maybe it wishes to suppress the Evil Spirits. I’d like to help it."
Little Taotie, though sometimes confused, remains clear-headed about important matters. Even though he hasn’t been in touch with the Gold Bricks for long, seeing them bouncing and smoking, Little Taotie somewhat believes they are innocent and pure, wanting to be a proper pagoda, not a Tower of Evil Spirits.
Hua Jinyan chuckled: "You want to build a pagoda, I’ll accompany you to build it."
"I don’t even know how to remove the curse." The girl rested her chin in her hands.
People from the Special Department returned one after another, among them was Lou Lan.
Actually, Lou Lan had been following them all along, waiting until they left safely from the Ancient Tower in the Ancient Tower region, she inspected it again, found the Ancient Tower gone, and a formation there, seemingly with a passage underneath.
She suspected that the passage might lead to another place, perhaps Shen Cang was at the other end of the passage.
This could also explain why the dry twig was inside the Ancient Pagoda.
The other end of the passage should be where the dry twig’s true body resides, just not knowing how Shen Cang is now. After so many days, if alive, he surely would’ve tried to save himself, or has he already fallen into a coma, or suffered a severe injury?
"Teacher Lou, you’re back." Hua Jinyan greeted.
Little Taotie was still fiddling with the Gold Bricks, looked up at Lou Lan, and sweetly said, "Teacher, you’re back!"
Lou Lan nodded, looking at the pair of Gold Bricks placed on the ground by Little Taotie, pretending to see them for the first time, extremely surprised: "Is this pure gold?"
Little Taotie nodded: "Absolutely pure!"
Hua Jinyan squinted, he felt Teacher Lou’s attitude was ambiguous, with a bit too much force, feeling unnatural.
Actually, compared to Hua Jinyan’s speculation, Little Taotie could be certain that Teacher Lou had seen these Gold Bricks before.
Little Taotie himself is a performing arts student, called upon in the Special Department’s special training, there were several classes specifically on interrogation, teaching techniques to break through others’ lies.
Little Taotie casually asked, "Look, do these gold pieces look like bricks, can you guess where I got them from?"
Hua Jinyan heard the hidden meaning in Little Taotie’s words and remained silent, letting Little Taotie play out.
Lou Lan: "Your big brother gave you building blocks to play with?"
Little Taotie twitched at the corner of his mouth: "I wish my building blocks were all pure gold."
