The sage was determined to die.

Some people, as they run, just drift apart.

Chu Ze and the others appeared to be in hot pursuit, but in reality, they accidentally strayed off course and became separated from the group. However, since their leader was leading the way, Chu Xi, though confused, couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Brother, did we take the wrong path?"

Chu Ze remained expressionless and said to his younger brother, "Let's just consider it a mistake."

"Huh?" Chu Xi didn't understand what he meant. Seeing his confusion, Chu Ze could only say, "Just think of it as not pursuing a cornered enemy."

Chu Xi pursed her lips and said nothing more.

By the way, what do those four characters mean?

……

"Damn it, we lost them!"

On the other side, Chen Ji looked annoyed, his fingers crunching on the broken pieces, his face dark as he said, "Are these guys all rabbits? How could they run so fast?"

His only strategist swallowed nervously, unable to resist speaking up: "The other side has at least two scholars. If we don't join forces with others, we probably can't win, right?"

His response was a long silence from Chen Ji. The other man stood motionless, looking at him with those deep, unfathomable eyes. After a long while, he suddenly said in a low voice:

"Couldn't you have put it more reasonably?"

The man jolted, clenched his fist, coughed violently to his lips, and said, "Young master, these people are running so fast, they might be setting a trap for us. Perhaps we should observe the situation first. As the saying goes... what's the point of being poor again..."

The person pondered for a long time, seemingly unable to come up with the word, thus leaving ample room for the other party to interpret it.

Chen Ji gave the other person an appreciative look, then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't pursue a cornered enemy, alright then!"

……

Continuing from the previous episode.

"May I?"

Faced with this temptation, no one could resist the urge. Gongsun Yang took a deep breath, his words filled with caution, and even his posture became very soft.

"It should be..." Ji Bai's eyes flickered, and he took out the fragment of the literary heart with both hands, starting to fiddle with it. After a while, he continued, "Is there a problem?"

The fragment, which wasn't very large, was stretched into a rather oddly shaped pancake in his hands, with two long strips on it.

Even Yan Ming, who prided himself on his extensive knowledge, had never seen anything so ugly. He pointed and asked, "What kind of pancake is this? Are you hungry?"

"Get lost."

Ji Bai reached out and slapped the other person's finger away, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and affirmed, "That's called art."

What kind of art is this? It's probably just there to fill space.

Yan Ming silently grumbled to himself, but didn't say anything. Then Ji Bai continued to explain, "You can think of it as a compass."

The two looked at each other in silence. They naturally didn't know what a compass was, but the name did sound more plausible.

"Is this... for finding lost items?" Gongsun Yang asked expectantly.

Of course, I just sculpted it randomly...

Ji Bai didn't say those words aloud, but simply nodded and said to the other person, "I guess that's a fair way to understand it."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

He stood up, his figure backlit, his lean frame exuding a reliable air. Ji Bai turned his head slightly to the two of them and said, "Just when everyone thought we wanted 'one,' we used this to find your 'two.' Isn't that interesting?"

Gongsun Yang nodded, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

Although I didn't understand it at all.
