Chapter 40: Cliff of Enlightenment
“So, here’s the situation.” He Shi’an leaned half a step forward. “The three of us who ranked in the top three in the competition discussed it before and decided to go to the Cliff of Enlightenment together today.”
Lu Fengmian nodded and waited for him to continue.
He Shi’an’s expression grew even more awkward, and his voice dropped a little lower:
“But you also know what happened last time at the Scripture Pavilion; we’re all a bit scared now. What if the cliff keeper at the Cliff of Enlightenment is in a bad mood too and throws us out again...”
He looked at Lu Fengmian with pleading eyes.
“So we wanted to ask whether we could... trouble you to take us there?”
Lu Fengmian fell silent.
Leading people to the Cliff of Enlightenment? He had to do that too?
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
