Chapter 1317: Chapter 1316: Entrance
I’m not hungry, you go ahead and eat. Even if I feel like eating later, I can always go over, Jiang Cheng said.
Alright." The boy smiled and picked up the chopsticks to start eating again.
Jiang Cheng watched the boy’s movements slow down compared to earlier, but he still seemed to be enjoying his meal immensely. Thinking about how he quickly recovered earlier, of course, this Bai Ze has some skills that others don’t, like sensing the presence of the White Flower Stone. So, the characteristics of his body now aren’t too strange, Jiang Cheng thought.
The boy quickly finished another serving of food, and Jiang Cheng now felt that the boy might not just ordinarily eat poorly or not enough; perhaps he’s naturally a big eater.
How is it?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Bai Ze sat on the chair, looking very satisfied. "Wow, truly satisfying."
Just like that, you’re satisfied?" Jiang Cheng chuckled. "Do you know where Qiu Qingqing might have gone?"
I don’t know," Bai Ze glanced at Jiang Cheng, his eyes flickering with a bit of discomfort, shifted to sit on the bed.
You don’t know? It’s really dangerous here. I should head out and look for her then."
Jiang Cheng noticed Bai Ze might be somewhat unwilling to speak. But he couldn’t force him either. Saying so, he moved to walk outside.
Hey? Wait a moment, why are you being so impulsive!" Bai Ze spoke, his tone filled with urgency.
Jiang Cheng stopped, turned around looking at Bai Ze, but it’s so dangerous here. Even though I don’t know where she is, it’s better than just sitting around." Jiang Zai said.
If you just go out aimlessly, what if you also fall into danger?" Bai Ze said.
Jiang Cheng stood still without saying anything, just watching Bai Ze, knowing Bai Ze definitely knows something. But uncertain why he hesitates to speak.
Bai Ze looked conflicted, and it took him a while to speak, "It’s not that I’m deliberately withholding it, it’s simply too dangerous there. Also, I’m not sure whether Qingqing would go there.
You’re talking about where?" Jiang Cheng asked.
When I first arrived here, I was almost completely amnesiac, not knowing who I was, unaware of my body being different. But one day, we went to Stone Valley. We worked there during the day, but one night I suddenly woke up, unexpectedly woke up as if being guided intentionally, I ended up at the depths of Stone Valley. However, what happened afterward I don’t know; the next day, I woke up in bed," Bai Ze said finishing, looked at Jiang Cheng, his expression a bit cautious. Seeming afraid Jiang Cheng would think it was fake. And then?" Jiang Cheng asked without any particular expression.
Then later on, they discovered the White Flower Stone in Stone Valley," Bai Ze said. "That was the first time I felt I was unusual, but I dared not tell anyone, until later I realized if they found White Flower Stone there, I’d dream or somehow gone there at night," Bai Ze said.
Seeing Bai Ze looked relieved after finishing his story, Jiang Cheng thought perhaps he had repressed for a long time.
No one noticed it." Here in Zhou Country, occasionally there are those people in black. Bai Ze goes out like this at night, he’s quite conspicuous.
I’m puzzled too, but often the next day, I’d only remember the location, everything else I couldn’t recall," Bai Ze said.
After hearing this strange story, Jiang Cheng wasn’t too surprised, having guessed it himself a long time ago. But didn’t expect he was completely unaware.
Qiu Qingqing should know you’re different. And you all only discovered White Flower Stone in Stone Valley before?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Yes, Qingqing should know. Moreover, I think it’s only this place," Bai Ze said, "but it’s dangerous there. If Qingqing hasn’t gone there, and you go, wouldn’t be worse.
But now, it’s best to go there first." Jiang Cheng decided without hesitating; anyway, waiting like this definitely isn’t a solution.
You rest well first. I’m heading out." Jiang Cheng said to Bai Ze, I’ll go with you. I’ve been there before after all.
No, still your wound isn’t healed, and if discovered, we’d get into more trouble." Jiang Cheng said, insisting he must go alone.
Bai Ze insisted on getting up, but as soon as he sat up, he called out, seemingly irritating his wound. Jiang Cheng quickly walked over, noticing the nearly healed wound had opened again, seeping blood.
Look, can you go like this? If you go, won’t you be dragging me down?" Jiang Cheng handed Bai Ze a glass of water.
Bai Ze took a sip, eased his breath, and looking at Jiang Cheng, said, "Then remember, don’t go to those colored stones, under any circumstances don’t go.
Jiang Cheng observed Bai Ze’s serious demeanor. Seriously nodded in agreement, "Don’t worry. No matter what, I won’t go." Jiang Cheng said.
Bai Ze nodded in relief, "Then go ahead. Be safe. Find Qingqing first then come back. We’ll search for White Flower Stone together afterward." Bai Ze said.
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, truly it would be challenging for a person like Qiu Qingqing, so strong-willed, to feel content without finding White Flower Stone.
Returning, for now, was to find her first, Jiang Cheng thought.
Where exactly is Stone Valley?" Jiang Cheng asked.
...
"Just follow the path ahead until you reach a small creek.
Once inside, there’s a cave. After entering, it’s the entrance to Stone Valley. It’s easy to find, and not particularly dangerous. Nevertheless, ensure your safety," Bai Ze said.
Jiang Cheng nodded to show he understood, "Nothing else needs saying, just again, don’t take risks." Bai Ze said.
No worries, you rest well. Currently, they can’t do anything to you," Jiang Cheng said. Now that he and Qiu Qingqing have openly rescued Bai Ze, those people certainly won’t harm him.
Having arranged everything, Jiang Cheng headed out, according to Bai Ze’s instructions towards the small path ahead, Jiang Cheng noted this path is where he and Qiu Qingqing met her brother earlier, currently the table and computer still left here.
But earlier her brother likely went to eat. Jiang Cheng took a glance and continued forward.
Soon he arrived at the cave Bai Ze described, seemingly the cave had no unusual features, but appeared to have been lived in.
The stone bed near the entrance was clean.
Jiang Cheng ventured deeper, realizing the cave was astonishingly deep, unlike the shallow and small entrance seen from outside. Walking inside, the ground was uneven, contrasting with many stones poking Jiang Cheng’s feet.
Jiang Cheng progressed in the cave, feeling increasingly cold, chill rising from underfoot upwards, moreover Zhou Country had no other light sources, Jiang Cheng found it increasingly dark. Gradually unable to see anything ahead, he had to take out a flint from the Jiezhi Bracelet. With this, there was light and a slight warmth.
Jiang Cheng illuminated the path with light, assuredly walking, noticing no footprints ahead.
