Chapter 280: Everyone Has Their Own Thoughts
"That’s the spirit. Young people should face difficulties head-on, only then can they conquer the world." Old man Tian’s teaching seemed quite unexpected, prompting Gu Fan to murmured to Su Hui, who was next to him, "What’s wrong with this old man? Initially, he firmly refused, but after going into the room, his attitude took a complete 180-degree turn. Now he’s encouraging us to come here."
Su Hui was also puzzled, "Isn’t it said that women are fickle? How come this old man is the same, could it have something to do with his eccentric behavior."
Old man Tian seemed to have overheard something, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes conveying an ominous intensity, "What are you two talking about?"
Gu Fan hurriedly explained, "We were just saying how right you are, old man. We young people really should venture out into the world; otherwise, we’d be too sheltered to ever make it in society."
At this moment, Ning Qi posed a question, "So, what’s your planned route for this trip?"
A planned route? Everyone turned their eyes towards old man Tian, hoping for a cogent answer. However, he was quite calm, retorting with his own question, "And what is your route?"
The supervising staff member said casually, "We haven’t decided yet. We’ll play it by ear."
"We haven’t decided either. We’ll also make it up as we go along." Old man Tian’s words caught Ning Qi’s group off guard, but Gu Fan sensed a strategic probing taking place between the two sides.
Ouyang Jin had already spread a map of the area, then pointed and explained, "We are currently in this little cabin shown on the map. In this forest, there are many other cabins available for lodging, each one half a day’s journey apart. Our route is from one cabin to the next."
