"What?" Hao Ning was chewing a slice of beef when he heard what Long Fei said. He wanted to ask a question, so he did not chew the beef completely but swallowed it down anyway. His esophagus felt a little pain due to the beef. He touched his neck and said in pain, "What is the meaning of all silicon dioxide? Are their clothes made of glass?"
"Glass?" Liu Shuai was stunned for a moment. He remembered that silicon dioxide and glass were the same. He did not ask for more. As Hao Ning asked this question, he followed his suit and asked, "Or did they have much glassware on them at that time?"
"I am afraid it's not so easy," Long Fei stopped chewing, "I have a doubt that the ring and the flying knife are made of silicon dioxide. But it is strange that they can become bigger and smaller arbitrarily and penetrate into the body without any blood out?"
"If that knife is made of silicon dioxide..." Hao Ning nodded. The books written by Mr. Jin documented Tian Shan Tong Lao's elder sister in the same Sect, Li Qiushui, had a crystal-like transparent knife, which was extremely sharp. Long Fei's speculation seemed to be right but a little weird, "Why did those people eventually end up with such power?"
"Well, I guess it is related to the One Finger Point." Long Fei's knowledge was enough to deal with these IQ problems. "At that time, the speed was so fast, and we thought that you had 'grabbed' that ring by your One Finger Point. And the knives flying out of the ring killed them. But now, maybe it was your One Finger Point that had killed them already..."
"Shhh..., voice down..." Hao Ning sat a little back and peeked at the waitress. The waitress stayed over there without any expression on her face and did not listen to them at all. "Beware of eavesdroppers."
"Maybe that person has been killed by your One Finger Point and turned into an empty shell. When the knife flew to him, your One Finger Point exerted impact on the knife," Long Fei analyzed in details with a lower voice, "So, when the knives penetrated the shells, due to friction between the knives and shell, some changes occurred, which caused the debris dropping."
"Well, it sounds reasonable." Liu Shuai frowned and nodded in agreement.
"So, you mean?" Hao Ning thought Long Fei's analysis was correct. He was wondering why he still wanted to see that ring.
"Hope you don't forget. People said that the Soul Cutter could cut souls." Long Fei finally came to the point, "If, as what they said, the knife was really made of a special kind of silica, or some special compound, then we can—"
"Can make a fake one!" Hao Ning patted the table and exclaimed, "Long Fei, you are so smart! If we can make one, it is possible that we can cut the Book Elf off the Qili's soul! And change his soul into an unaggressive soul! Is that your point?"
"Err..." Long Fei scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "In fact, what I mean is if we do so, we can have a try to cut a piece of Formless Fragrance Flame from the Dragon Temple and practice with it instead of waiting for it to spill over from the statue..."
"You..." Hao Ning sighed. He might have forgotten that the man in front of him was an Immortal. He did not think from the worldly person's perspective. "It is a good reason."
"Ha Ha, Long Fei, you can say so if you meet something like this next time," Zhou Yuan blinked, naughtily, "Let me teach you. You should have said like this: Hao Ning, you are so correct. First of all, we can save Qili, and second, we can find an approach to cut the Formless Fragrance Flame from the statue. So, we can save more people with it! — If you say so, Hao Ning will feel ear-pleasing. On the other hand, you can get what you want."
"Zhou Yuan, you..." Hao Ning sighed. He felt that all of them were "growing". Was this kind of sophistication a good thing?
"What you said is a lie." Long Fei responded at first place, "I don't think so. Why should I say as what you said? What a lie!"
"Well, isn't the Moment God in front of you a 'hypocritical beauty'?" Liu Shuai looked at Zhou Yuan, smiling with a little wickedly, "Well, put this topic away. Then if this is the case—"
"You come to my home for it tonight," Hao Ning nodded, "but you shouldn't appear at my home from my toilet!"
"Ok, I will go to your home with you this time." Long Fei had been criticized by Liu Shuai badly for the long term. He has "changed himself to be good".
"Well, as everyone gets what he wants," Liu Shuai touched his empty belly and said, "I feel happy for no reason. Let's find another place for our midnight snack. My treat. Ok? Everybody?"
"Agreed!" Except for Hao Ning, all of them, including Long Fei, agreed to his suggestion.
They went out of this ramshackle steak restaurant. Hao Ning fixated on the high-rising buildings on the opposite. It was the busiest part of S city. What an ironic phenomenon it was! On one side, there was the cheapest buffet restaurant and on the opposite side, it was the most prosperous part of the city. Did this road cause this tremendous gap between the poor and the rich or the perception? Who knew? He recalled the poker-faced waitress in the restaurant. If he were her, looking at the prosperity across the street and earning so little, he wouldn't have been happy, either. Hao Ning couldn't help admiring Long Fei, who was a little dumb about the ways of the world, but he could be devoted to his endeavor without any complaints about little incense for those years. Was his personality good or bad? Was Yu Fei's personality influenced by Long Fei or vice versa? Why did he become so obedient?
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning, the chatterbox, who was looking at the opposite quietly. He felt a little surprised, "You want more steak in this restaurant?"
"Impossible." Hao Ning came back to himself and shook his head to make him clear. He felt a little unreasonable for what he just thought. So, he said, "I am thinking if there is any delicious food in the opposite buildings."
"Hey! Those are too expensive for us." Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Guys, look at the Zhongxia International in the opposite. It is reported that people who go there for the first time will miss two zeros on the tags. They probably think that 5,000 Yuan for a shirt is expensive. But in fact, it is worth 500,000 Yuan!"
"500,000 Yuan?" Long Fei was very shocked, "A shirt costs thousands of my Sea Lanterns! Is that shirt a gift from Ksitigarbha bodhisattva?"
"Ksitigarbha bodhisattva..." Hao Ning couldn't help laughing, "This Bodhisattva practices in hell. The shirt he can give may be made by golden threads and jade plates."
"Hello, we are here, my dragon." A voice passed across the street. Although it was very low, Hao Ning could hear it clearly. Was that the result of his hearing improved because he borrowed so much Kung Fu power through "Lend Me Your Mana"?
As others had no response to the voice, Hao Ning looked across the street, looking for where the voice came from.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yuan smiled as she saw Hao Ning looking at the opposite, "You really want Liu Shuai to treat us in the opposite? Are you going to have a feast for the Spring Festival?"
"Shh..." Hao Ning made a gesture to make him stop his talk. He listened to the voice carefully in order to find out who was talking to him.
"We are here, near the overpass." The voice continued.
"Overpass?" As he heard that voice, Hao Ning hurriedly looked across to the overpass. Nobody was on the overpass. He searched nearby. There was a car parking near the overpass. Two young persons were standing near the car. One was a man, and the other was a woman, judging from what they wore.
If the man and the woman were still calling dragon, were they...? Hao Ning took a close look. They were Zhe and Ye.
"Liu Shuai, you don't need to treat us anymore today!" Hao Ning smiled and pointed to the other side of the road, "See who's coming."
