"Thank you very much for your advice." Lin Taiyin smiled lightly, and then he was surrounded by the strong men who had been following him closely.
For some reason, Fan Zhiyi felt that Lin Taiyin was a bit like a bird in a cage, and actually felt a bit of sympathy for him.
Bing Nandong closed the door and said, "I'm going to go out for a while. Please help me check the temperature."
Fan Zhiyi knew that Bing Nandong was probably going to visit the place where Lin Taiyin had lived. He didn't understand, nor did he know what was going on between them, and he couldn't help, so he could only nod.
Bing Nandong didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Fan Zhiyi for a few more seconds, then said, "I'll explain it to you when I get back."
Fan Zhiyi was stunned and said, "Okay."
Afterwards, Fan Zhiyi returned to the kitchen, feeling uninterested. He thought that if the vase had been taken away, then Bing Nandong would be nowhere to be found. Or perhaps they were overthinking it, and there was no clue about the vase at all.
Fan Zhiyi doesn't like waiting, he is always waiting.
So after taking a quick look at the situation in the kitchen, he picked up the cat toy and went to the yard to play with Xiao Hei.
The weather is unpredictable. For example, it was windy and rainy yesterday, but today it is sunny again. The temperature of the sun is a little high, and people who are baked by it always feel uncomfortable.
By the way, he and Bing Nandong went out to gain experience later. What should we do with Xiao Hei? We have to prepare food for Xiao Hei.
Hey, he also wants to be a carefree little kitten, and he will definitely be very happy.
Fan Zhiyi raised the cat toy high. His feet were numb from squatting, so he stood up with the cat toy. Xiao Hei jumped with his agile body, but failed to catch the cat toy, which made Fan Zhiyi laugh.
Xiao Hei then turned his butt towards Fan Zhiyi, and then jumped onto the chair where Fan Zhiyi often sat to bask in the sun. He curled up into a ball, wagging his tail, looking very comfortable.
Fan Zhiyi stretched and went back to the kitchen. He had no idea of time and it felt like Bing Nandong had been gone for a long time. It was so long that Fan Zhiyi went to get a book to read and felt sleepy.
When Bing Nandong returned to the kitchen, he found Fan Zhiyi standing casually by the table with a book in his hand. Steam was coming out of the pot and he could already smell the fragrance, as well as the strong spicy smell that was a bit choking.
Bing Nandong opened both windows of the kitchen completely: "Don't you feel choked?"
"Ah?" Fan Zhiyi was startled back to his senses by the sound.
Bing Nandong came over and looked at his book: "Can you read this book upside down?"
Fan Zhiyi then looked down at the book in his hands, feeling embarrassed for a moment. He had actually held the book upside down, yet he still tried to save face. "Right, you don't understand. This book has to be read upside down to reveal its mysteries."
"Then I really don't understand."
Fan Zhiyi didn't chat with him. Rather than that, he wanted to know whether Bing Nandong had gained anything, but he might not want to tell him.
Fan Zhiyi didn't ask, but Bing Nandong knew what he was talking about. He didn't keep him in suspense and told him what he had discovered directly, looking Fan Zhiyi in the eye: "We did find a broken vase in the room, with words written inside."
As he spoke, Bing Nandong took out one of the fragments and showed it to him: "Lin Taiyin is not as idle as he appears. From the time you and I first met him at Zui Xiang Lou, to the time you and Zhuang Yujing followed him into the venue, and then to the time you led me onto the stage, all of this was intentional on his part."
Fan Zhiyi was stunned: "You even know how Zhuang Yujing and I got in?"
Bing Nandong spread out his hand, and in his palm was a tiny talisman: "This talisman is specially used for tracking. Once it comes into contact with the target, it will stick to them and turn them invisible."
"this……"
"He gave it to me the moment I caught him during the competition," Bing Nandong said. "He said, 'You two are quite interesting.'"
Bing Nandong's eyes darkened, and Fan Zhiyi felt creepy in an instant, and a chill spread throughout his body.
So just now Bing Nandong was actually warning Lin Taiyin not to involve him and Zhuang Yujing in matters related to the Ghost Gate.
Fan Zhiyi tentatively took the fragment that Bing Nandong was holding. Seeing that Bing Nandong did not refuse, he picked it up and looked at it thoroughly.
The protruding side of this fragment is painted in blue and white, while the concave side has small dark red characters, which can be easily overlooked if you are not careful.
However, there were only a few words written on this piece.
Bing Nandong explained, "It broke into many pieces. Some had words written on them, and some didn't, so I brought them all back and will put them together later."
"Are you sure you can tell me all this?" You were so mysterious before.
"Things related to the Ghost Gate are becoming increasingly dangerous. If I don't tell you, and you and Zhuang Yujing investigate on your own, what if something goes wrong? It's better for me to tell you directly. But Fan Zhiyi, don't tell Zhuang Yujing. Otherwise, given his temper, he won't stop until he turns the world upside down, which won't be a good thing for Jiu Wanli."
Fan Zhiyi returned the fragment to him: "I understand. Then what did Lin Taiyin say to you before he left?"
"Look forward to working with me."
"Um?"
Bing Nandong looked at Fan Zhiyi and spoke clearly: "This is what he told me."
Looking forward to collaborating with Bing Nandong? Fan Zhiyi was puzzled. Before he could speak, Bing Nandong opened the lid of his steamer: "I don't know what he's referring to specifically. The answer should be in these fragments."
"Hey, even if he wants to pass on a message, he has to go through so much roundabout ways. Why do you think he does this? And those who follow him don't look like simple bodyguards. I can't really put my finger on it..."
While Fan Zhiyi was still immersed in thinking about Lin Taiyin's affairs, Bing Nandong had already washed his hands, picked up a pastry and placed it on a plate, then held it up and placed it in front of Fan Zhiyi.
The pastry was bouncy and shaped like a rabbit, swaying up and down with Bing Nandong's movements.
Bing Nandong said as he demonstrated, "I don't know the details. The Lin family has a strict family tradition. Lin Taiyin is the only child of the main branch of the Lin family and is also one of the candidates for the Ghost Gate. Other than that, I don't know anything else."
Fan Zhiyi's gaze was instantly drawn to the pastry, his pupils following its rise and fall. "Then it seems we can only piece together the fragments before we can understand what Lin Taiyin is trying to convey. You candidates are always so secretive."
"Because the matter of Ghost Gate is indeed special." Bing Nandong handed the spoon to Fan Zhiyi.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Fan Zhiyi took a bite, then opened his eyes wide and gave Bing Nandong a thumbs up, praising him repeatedly. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Bing Nandong couldn't help but chuckle, then cleared his throat and deliberately suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise: "I happened to see the recipe for this pastry and thought of giving it a try. It seems quite good."
