Chang Le's gaze fell on the candied hawthorns on the street and he replied, "Yeah, I'm scared."
Huang Mingfu said with a gloomy face, "Could you be any more perfunctory? The way you're acting reminds me of how Crow reacted when I scolded him! That kid, no matter how much I scolded him, he just calmly said 'uh-huh,' 'ah,' 'oh'! It made me so angry... Hey? Sister Chang Le?"
Before he could finish complaining, Chang Le had already gone to the side of the road.
Chang Le walked up to the cart selling candied hawthorns, thought for a moment, then turned to them and asked, "Do you want some?"
Huang Mingfu nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Ma Yuanhong shook his head: "Thank you, but no need."
Hao Ren walked over and said, "I'll buy it. I'm practically a local, so I'll just do my duty as a host."
Huang Mingfu's eyes lit up: "Then I would be impolite to refuse!"
After he made his selection, he nibbled on the last piece of the mutton and walked over to Ma Yuanhong: "Brother Hong, are you sure you don't want it? This little thing is pretty delicious."
Ma Yuanhong turned his head away indifferently.
Hao Ren waited for Chang Le to make his selection, and Chang Le scanned the list.
"Chang Le, are you planning to stay here for the next few days?"
Chang Le picked out a sandwich: "Well, there are only a few days left, so I don't plan to go anywhere else."
"If you need anything, you can tell me or Xiao Huang. We are quite familiar with the local area and may be able to help out."
"Okay, thank you."
As they walked back, the topic returned to its original form, with Huang Mingfu once again taking on the role of the吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize).
"Don't even mention the instructors. This year, because of the legendary [Mystic Realm], there are eighteen training participants, and all the most competitive ones in the entire Central Plains have come! Even the Gallia Consortium from the Meli Federation has sent people! I guess I have no chance. I'm just here to train hard and then be a runner-up. Alas~"
Hao Ren agreed, "This year, Gu Yujing, Shen Xiu, Si Yehong, and Wei Jinyan all appeared together, making the competition more intense than ever before. We can only do our best. If we have the chance to enter the Mysterious Realm of Creation, even if we only gain a little, witnessing the mysteries of fusion would be an incredible opportunity."
Huang Mingfu nodded in agreement.
Even Ma Yuanhong looked like he was trying his best to win it over.
Chang Le glanced at Hao Ren.
The three of them first took Chang Le back to his hotel, and then left together.

Huang Mingfu: Yes, the victim is here!
