Zheng Quchi finally came to a startling conclusion.
Yuwen Sheng listened quietly, then asked her, "So, are you scared?"
The artisans of Ye were ashamed to face the rapid development of other countries' craftsmanship and their own backwardness. Over the years, even though he had invested a lot of energy and money in them, he still could not make them stand up straight.
Only this time, the group of artisans she led seemed to have finally climbed out of the mire and were willing to stand up and strive forward, which finally gave him a glimmer of hope.
But now that she has personally come to another country and witnessed their advanced and exquisite craftsmanship, will she be shocked and frightened? Will she then lose her original confidence and become timid and cowardly?
"Fear? Why should I be afraid? It will only make me more excited and happy, you know? I really want to see more exquisite art from other countries. I long to communicate with them face to face, to communicate with everything I don't understand, and to unravel the mysteries of those mysterious techniques."
Hearing her quick and cheerful tone, Yuwen Sheng knew that she wasn't lying; she genuinely thought and believed that way.
She wouldn't. She is Zheng Quchi, and she will never shrink back or become timid just because others are so capable.
On the contrary, this will only become her motivation to move forward and a goal for her to constantly challenge and improve herself.
At this moment, Yuwen Sheng perhaps showed the first genuine smile of his life. He said gently, "Of course, you will see everything you want to see, but now... we should cross the iron chain bridge."
He personally led the reluctant Zheng Quchi across to the other side, while the crowd waiting on the other side, whether they knew the truth or not, all tried their best to hide their expressions, fearing that they would be silenced for knowing too much.
After crossing the iron chain bridge, they were to climb along the iron chains hanging down the mountain to enter Wujue Temple.
This is just a competition of art from seven countries, why does it feel like the journey of Tang Sanzang to the West, with one hardship after another?
Zheng Quchi was truly impressed by the person who chose Wujue Temple as the site for the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild.
Yuwen Sheng instructed, "Wei Yao, you stay here. Run Tu, you stay up there to assist them in completing the lassoing and suspension. The rest of you, come with me to the mountaintop and enter the temple."
“Yes,” Wei Yao and Run Tu replied in unison.
Climbing mountains was no challenge for Zheng Quchi, because she was strong. She grabbed the iron chain and stomped her feet like an agile ape, quickly overtaking the others.
Click click...
Several pebbles rolled down from above, followed by a sudden, out-of-control scream.
"Hey, you down there, watch out, get out of the way!"
