Chapter 411: A Unique Black Stone, Sui Feng Enduring Torment

Seeing Chen Changsheng’s intention to continue this aimless search, Sui Feng couldn’t help but say:

“Xiancha, I am not someone without patience.”

“But you don’t even have a single clue. Just relying on luck, are you sure you can find it?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned his head to look at Sui Feng.

“This is a very good question. I am indeed relying on luck. So, you can’t bear a little bit of this?”

“If you can’t even endure this boredom, then you should go back.”

Hearing these words, Sui Feng immediately said:

“Xiancha, that’s not what I meant.”

“What I mean is that the person you’re looking for has hidden away, which means he doesn’t want to be found.”

“Even if you find him by any means, will he help you?”

“Of course, because I found him.”

“Do you know what finding him means to him?”

Sui Feng shook her head, not understanding Chen Changsheng’s meaning.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng bought some snacks from the street vendor while saying:

“There’s a small understanding among the strong when it comes to seeking help.”

“That is, most people who are found will agree to help.”

“Why?”

“Because in the process of searching, we show our greatest sincerity.”

“The reasons why a strong person might hide usually fall into two categories.”

“One is hiding in a place of extreme danger, where entering requires risking nine deaths for one life.”

“The other is completely disappearing, and finding such a person requires patience and time.”

“Imagine someone of your status, spending a lot of effort and patience, and then risking their life to find you.”

“At this point, wouldn’t you give them face?”

“Even if you don’t immediately agree to their request, you wouldn’t refuse them outright, right?”

After listening, Sui Feng carefully thought for a moment and said:

“It seems so.”

“So, it’s settled. Moreover, we are going to ask for help; asking for help must come with the right attitude.”

“If you could easily get him to help just by being hasty, then the world’s great matters wouldn’t be so hard to solve.”

“Xiancha, I understand.”

“Good, now understand. Eat this cake, I can’t eat anymore.”

Chen Changsheng handed Sui Feng a half-eaten cake.

Looking at the cake in front of her, Sui Feng suddenly felt nauseous.

For many days, whenever Chen Changsheng encountered cakes, he would buy one.

Worse still, Chen Changsheng only ate one bite of each cake, and the rest went straight into Sui Feng’s stomach.

Sweet treats were nice, but eating them constantly was unbearable!

“Xiancha, can’t I skip this?”

“If I find that person and get something good, can I not teach you?”

Facing Chen Changsheng’s counter-question, Sui Feng still opened her mouth and ate the cake in Chen Changsheng’s hand.

“That’s more like it!”

“Others say that enduring hardships leads to becoming someone superior.”

“Following me, you won’t have to endure hardship, just enjoy the sweet. Isn’t that great?”

Looking at Chen Changsheng’s cheerful expression, Sui Feng did not respond.

Because she really disliked sweet treats now.

Just as they were talking, Chen Changsheng stopped at a stall.

This stall was very simple, just four black stones pressing down the corners of a black cloth.

On the black cloth were several jars, and from the remaining liquid at the jar’s mouths, they seemed to contain honey.

“Young man, do you want some honey? This is authentic mountain flower honey.”

“Sure!”

“Here, I’ll take all the honey. But where did you get those stones? They look unique.”

“Don’t mention it, those are actually cakes made by my neighbor.”

“He gave me some, but they looked too scary to eat, so I used them to weigh things down.”

“Oh, I see. I’ve never seen cakes shaped like that before. Can I have one?”

“Take it if you want, but I have to warn you, don’t eat it.”

“My big yellow dog ate one of his cakes and started foaming at the mouth. It almost died.”

“Hahaha!”

“This vendor is quite amusing.”

While chatting with Chen Changsheng, the vendor packed the honey.

After successfully buying the honey, Chen Changsheng also got the four “black stones.”

Examining the “black stones” in his hand, Chen Changsheng pondered for a long time, then put the black stone in his mouth.

“Crunch crunch!”

The sound of chewing hard objects echoed, as if Chen Changsheng was really biting into a stone.

But strangely, Chen Changsheng savored this unusual thing.

Once the taste of the cake fully spread in his mouth, Chen Changsheng’s expression froze.

After a while, Chen Changsheng spoke up.

“Lady, you don’t need to eat the cake anymore. The person I’m looking for should be found.”

“Really? Where is he?”

Sui Feng’s voice carried a hint of excitement, as she too wanted to see what kind of person Chen Changsheng was looking for.

“Eat this, and I’ll teach you a little trick.”

Chen Changsheng took out another “black stone” and handed it over.

Seeing this, Sui Feng didn’t hesitate and took it, putting it in her mouth.

With her current cultivation level, even eating a real stone wouldn’t cause much trouble.

As long as she could learn something, eating a seemingly unpalatable cake wasn’t a big deal.

“Crack!”

The cake entered her mouth, making a crisp sound.

Immediately after, Sui Feng’s taste buds were hit with a massive impact.

This soul-striking flavor, Sui Feng couldn’t even block it with spiritual power.

But just as Sui Feng was about to spit out the food in her mouth, Chen Changsheng’s voice slowly rose.

“Spitting it out doesn’t count.”

Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smiling expression, Sui Feng forced herself to suppress her nausea and swallowed the remaining half of the cake.

“Gulp!”

A fist-sized piece of cake was forcibly swallowed by Sui Feng.

“Sir, can you tell me now?”

“Hehehe!”

“Sharp, I like that.”

“I mentioned earlier that high-ranking people usually hide in two ways.”

“The ones who disappear completely are the hardest to find. To find them, you must find the extraordinary in the mundane.”

“Zhenyu is full of honey, and there are many kinds of pastries here.”

“A great hidden one blends in with the crowd, naturally going with the flow. Otherwise, they would stand out.”

“However, there is one thing they can’t change: their actions and creations are always unique.”

Hearing this, Sui Feng said coldly:

“Just based on this unpalatable thing, can you be sure it’s him?”

“I’m not sure if it’s the person I’m looking for, but the person who made this cake is definitely extraordinary.”

“Unpalatability is also a characteristic?”

“Isn’t it?”

“Could you make something so unpalatable?”

Sui Feng: “…”
