The two returned to the campfire, and Zhang Xia sat down next to Xiao Man.
Chen Ji sat nearby watching the fire flicker, silent.
He had earlier suspected Zhang Xia of using the opportunity to meet with Yun Yang and Jiao Tu, but now it proved otherwise... yet doubts still swirled in his mind.
Sitting by the campfire, Chen Ji casually picked up a piece of lamb and asked Zhang Xia beside him, "Earlier, you mentioned you and a friend went to see the Four Dreams of Bianliang?"
Zhang Xia, eating lamb, replied, "Yes."
Chen Ji laughed and said, "I only found out later that this tale was actually written by Zhang Li, the first disciple of the Huangshan Dao Court. I didn't expect this Daoist Master to have talents in writing that surpass his cultivation... I remember there's a line in the Four Dreams of Bianliang by Li Changge: 'Yesterday's Lu Ming Banquet, tonight's Iron Chain chill', what comes next?"
