Chapter 963: How Did You Lure Little Black Out?
Han Jing rarely retreated like this. Pitiful people always have hateful aspects, and in her heart, Han Litong was no exception. She might have indeed suffered many hardships, but hardships don’t fundamentally defeat a person. As long as one has the courage to live earnestly, there will always be worthwhile things to do.
Han Jing didn’t believe in karma in the past, and she still doesn’t believe in it very much now. But if being less malicious and offering more kindness could accumulate merit, she wouldn’t want to be as aggressive as before. She hopes that if there truly is a higher power, it can hear her intentions, allowing An’an and Yun Feng to find their way home.
So every day when Su Yaogeng went to the Buddhist hall, she occasionally followed for a while. People truly are like this, when there is no hope to rely on, they hope all their actions can bring blessings.
After Han Jing left Beihan Palace, Lan Ling asked her if she had accomplished her task. Han Jing shook her head and said she’d return in three days.
Lan Ling had followed Han Jing and others to Beihan Palace and also to Dong Qin, understanding the whole story; he couldn’t help but murmur, "Do you really trust her? What if she runs away over these three days? What if she hides Senior Feng’s remains? Where will you look?"
Han Jing rolled her eyes at him, "Do you really think I wasn’t prepared? Last time, I followed Han Qingjue to the underground palace of Beihan Palace, so I roughly remember its location. I don’t have An’an’s ability to see exactly where it is, so before I left, I secretly left Little Black in Beihan Palace. With it guarding, Han Litong absolutely cannot hide Fengxi."
Lan Ling’s eyes widened, "How did you manage to coax that finicky cat Little Black out?"
Little Black’s arrogant and aloof personality was even harder to deal with than Youyou’s. Lan Ling tried to tease it twice, and not only almost got scratched, but actually did get scratched.
So...
He was extremely skeptical about how Han Jing managed to coax it out.
Han Jing shrugged, "I just went and said a word to Shi Qi, and then Little Black obediently followed me out."
Lan Ling raised his thumb, fine, he was convinced.
The reason Han Jing thought to bring Little Black out was that neither she nor Lan Ling could move completely unnoticed within Beihan Palace. What’s more, the underground palace was originally designed and created by Fengxi, and Han Jing really didn’t have the skills to infiltrate it.
To prevent Han Litong from refusing to let people take away Fengxi’s remains, Han Jing had to come up with this plan. Little Black, having stayed by Ning Shiqi’s side from a young age, had been exposed to mechanical techniques, so even if it hadn’t studied them, disarming formations was not difficult. So bringing it along meant that if they encountered an intractable situation, they wouldn’t be completely helpless.
Of course, if possible, she still hoped that Han Litong could reconsider and then hand Fengxi’s remains over to them.
Su Xingqiao was somewhat unclear about their relationship. Han Jing didn’t mind explaining, so during these two days wandering the Polar Ice Field, she explained it to Su Xingqiao. Su Xingqiao didn’t expect that Han Jing had such a background.
Three days’ time quickly passed.
When Han Jing returned to Beihan Palace, Han Litong looked at her and said nothing, then personally escorted her to the underground palace.
