Chapter 327: Education from Big Sis Bai

Click.

As the door in the dream was opened, Tan Han’s slightly weary figure stepped into the corridor outside.

Her eyes held a hint of loneliness and confusion, but my words echoed in her ears.

That's right... since she had decided to resist, she should learn to grow.

This was a good start, letting her see just how difficult the path she had chosen was.

Outside the hotel, it was already dark.

The light of the Earth Vein was obscured, just like the truth Tan Han now knew; all she could see was darkness.

But such a huge and luminous Earth Vein would always reveal a little light between the gaps in the obscuring curtains.

Tan Han believed she would seize that sliver of opportunity.

“Can’t escape it, huh…”

A golden light flashed in Tan Han’s eyes, and her gaze became firm.

Then, clutching a blank apprentice nameplate from the extraordinary research base, she quickly headed back.

This nameplate was different from a regular apprentice's.

It was a dream nameplate for Scholar Little Han's exclusive apprentices, impossible to forge.

There were two types: one was a real-world nameplate, which the Fool’s Dream apprentices at the base held, and the other was a remaining qualification in the dream.

The function was simple: one could legally own a resettlement house in the underground city.

This was the treatment for scholars in the underground city.

You might see many people sleeping in tents on the street, but you would never see scholars homeless.

They could even stay in a different place every day without repeating.

This was very common in the underground city.

Don't forget who controlled the resources of the underground city.

Watching Tan Han’s departing back, I also stood half-out of the doorway.

Although I had said before that I didn't care about those guys, and Tan Han didn't care either, but... saying is one thing, doing is another.

And... with this, Tan Han wouldn't be stopped by the base's people the next time she came to the extraordinary research base, even if they couldn't have stopped her anyway.

But... what I cared more about was her ability.

It seemed to be an ability granted by the Seed of Destiny, the Spirit Eye.

To some extent, this was cheating.

But thinking about it from another angle, if the Witch Academy and even all the transcendent academies were considered outsiders, independent of the script, then Tan Han's ability to see through the threads of Destiny could be said to be the biggest obstacle for those who vainly hope to control the script.

"The revelation of the Spirit Eye? Hehe..."

I chuckled softly.

Tan Han had said before that she had ventured here for a friend.

It was obviously just an excuse.

The real reason was the revelation of the Spirit Eye.

She knew she would find the answer that troubled her here.

She thought that answer would be given by me, but now the facts proved otherwise... so who was it?

Even I was getting curious.

It couldn't be that the Academy Head would come and tell her personally, right?

After all, the interference of the Spirit Eye's ability on the script could greatly hinder the control of the script.

It could be considered... an external cheat given to its child by the world consciousness.

Such favoritism was something I couldn't aspire to, but Tan Han didn't want it.

Who would have thought... before today, I hadn't noticed at all that Tan Han had such thoughts.

Perhaps I really had too little contact with Tan Han.

And not long after Tan Han left, the door to Big Sis Bai's room opposite mine was also gently pushed open.

"Big Sis Bai, she's gone. That was fast, right?"

I greeted Big Sis Bai with a smile.

"I know. Is it convenient to tell me what you talked about?"

"Huh? Didn't Big Sis Bai listen?"

"Alright, I heard a lot, but I wasn't deliberately listening. My hearing is very good, after your soundproof spell dissipated..."

Big Sis Bai also said helplessly.

"Ah? Were we that loud?"

"Ordinary people can't hear it, but I'm not an ordinary person," Big Sis Bai explained.

"Alright, then why did Big Sis Bai still ask me what we talked about?"

I put on a pouting face and pushed Big Sis Bai into her room.

After all, this topic was not suitable to be discussed in the hallway.

"Little Han, although I don't really want to say this about you, but... as an outsider..."

"Big Sis Bai is not an outsider in that sense. Just say what you want to say, Big Sis Bai."

Walking into Big Sis Bai's room and closing the door, I immediately threw myself onto Big Sis Bai's bed, imprinting my shape on the neatly made bed.

"Sigh... Little Han, don't mess up my bed."

"I'll make it for you later. Just say what you have to say, Big Sis Bai."

I turned over on the bed and faced Big Sis Bai.

"To be honest, although I have some understanding of how you talk to others, but... I still didn't expect you..."

"Um... were my words very serious?"

I sat up and looked at Big Sis Bai, asking tentatively.

"Not very serious..."

"Then it should be fine, right?"

"It's extremely serious!"

"Huh?"

"Little Han, she's a girl. You don't have to be so harsh, right?"

"Mmm..."

I pursed my lips and seriously reflected on what I had said before.

It seemed there was nothing wrong, at most a problem with the word order due to excitement, and the words I said didn't seem to have perfectly expressed my meaning.

The tone... seemed indeed a little cold, but...

"Little Han, are you listening to me?"

At this moment, Bai Yu looked at me, with my head down as if listening attentively but unrepentant, and raised her voice a few notches.

"Ah? Listening! I'm listening! I'm listening!"

I quickly nodded.

"Little Han, will you blame me for saying this to you for someone else?"

"Huh?"

Coming back to my senses, I was stunned when Big Sis Bai suddenly asked me this.

"How could I? But... Big Sis Bai, actually, you don't need to be so concerned. I will listen to all the suggestions Big Sis Bai gives, and I won't blame Big Sis Bai. Big Sis Bai doesn't need to use 'for my own good' or anything like that as an excuse, because my mind is quite straightforward. If it's the right thing, I will find a way to convince myself. If I don't agree with it from the bottom of my heart, no matter how many times Big Sis Bai says it, I probably won't be able to change..."

"Little Han... oh, you."

Hearing my answer, Bai Yu also held her forehead with one hand.

"Alright... then let me say it, starting from your chat with Tan Han."

"Mm!"

I sat up straight at this moment, listening attentively.

"First of all, you have to understand that no one is perfect, and no one will live and talk according to someone else's ideas."

As Bai Yu spoke, she was also reflecting on her own cognition.

As a project on the ordinary, she had a lot of cognition about people.

The project of the ordinary could not be separated from people, and as long as they were people, they could not escape flaws.

People were complete because of their flaws, and were born to pursue perfection.

It was precisely because of the differences between people that there was the art of communication.

Language had weight, carried emotions, and could infect others.

Language and conversation could give people strength, and could also hurt them invisibly.

"Oh... I naturally understand the differences between people, and I also understand the generation gap between people..."

"It's good that Little Han understands. I know Little Han understands many things, but you also have to understand that that's just what you think. If you think too much, it's all problems. If you do more, it's all answers. You also know that you're not good at chatting, right? Actually, you are very good at it, but you think too much, and contemplate too much. That's not a conversation with others, that's a conversation with yourself. Once you find that someone's answer deviates from your expectations, you feel that it's their problem. But... Little Han, have you ever thought that it's your own problem?"

"My... my own problem?"

"If you can't tolerate any trace of foolishness, self-deception, or arrogance in others, then there will be a chasm between you and others that you can't cross."

"But... why should I tolerate it?"

I rarely retorted Big Sis Bai's words.

"I'm not trying to persuade you of anything, but I can see your contradiction. Little Han... you long for friends, right? A friend you can talk to well, just like you after using the Illusory Clone, right?"

"Hmm... that's... very relaxed..."

"Yes, very relaxed. But you are longing for the outside world and friends on the one hand, and building high walls around yourself on the other, screening others. Just like you joked with me that the ones screened out by society's screening mechanism are not scumbags? If you screen friends and even people to chat with like this, what will you get in the end?"

"I..."

"Then let's put it another way. What's the difference between this screening behavior of yours and arrogance? Little Han, you also told me that weakness and ignorance are not obstacles in life, arrogance is. I want to return this sentence to you. I don't know where you heard this very reasonable sentence, but I think it's more suitable for you at this moment."

"Mmm..."

I lowered my head, a little afraid to look at Big Sis Bai.

Was I just hit by the boomerang I had thrown before?

Was there anything more uncomfortable than this?

And it was pointed out by Big Sis Bai...

"Alright, look on the bright side. Big Sis Bai just hopes you can become more lively..."

Seeing my dejected look, Bai Yu also quickly comforted me.

"No... I was just hit by the boomerang I said. I need to recover for a while..."

I muttered in a low voice.

"Phew... recovered."

"So fast?"

Bai Yu looked at me.

One second I was bowing my head in reflection, and now I was suddenly full of energy.

She was a little surprised.

"Yeah, it's just this level. It doesn't have much of an effect on me," I responded with a smile.

There was one thing Big Sis Bai said that was very right.

If you think too much, it's all problems.

If you do more, it's all answers.

When you don't care about the problem, there will be no internal friction.

When you don't care about the negative feelings brought by emotions, you won't be unhappy.

It seems I still need to pay more attention to my practice of the unity of knowledge and action.

This time, I fell into this state of internal friction again because of some small matter.

"It's good that you're fine..."

"By the way, Big Sis Bai."

"Is there anything else?"

"It's dark. The corridor outside is so dark... can I sleep here?"

I pulled the quilt with one hand and looked at Big Sis Bai expectantly.

"Little Han, you... sigh... you're not allowed to use this kind of excuse next time, okay!"

"Then what about this time?"

"This time... forget it."

...

"Huh? It's the apprentice nameplate given by Scholar Little Han? Alright, it's the first time I've seen one I can't get. I'll arrange the resettlement house for you."

"Thank you."

The old man in charge of the resettlement houses led Tan Han to one.

Although it was called a resettlement house, it wasn't small overall.

But it naturally couldn't be compared to the villas in the Witch Academy.

There weren't that many guest rooms here, but it was at least much more spacious than the small room before.

After registering the right to use the room, Tan Han didn't delay any longer and went back.

Tan Han raised her head and looked at the obscured Earth Vein in the dome.

She hadn't expected the night here to be so simple and unadorned.

"Big Sis Tan Han, you're back?"

"Hmm? Hedi? Why are you out?"

Tan Han was a little surprised, but still asked.

"Oh, I came out to check the surrounding situation, to see if there was any danger."

"Come back with me first. We're moving."

"What? Why are we moving?"

"Thank our Big Sis Little Han. She heard about our situation and got us a house. Although it's not very big, it's at least much bigger than where we're staying now."

"Yay really! I knew Big Sis Little Han wouldn't abandon us. Even though we haven't even seen her yet, we're already enjoying the benefits, right?"

"Yes, let's go back and tell them this too."

After Tan Han brought the group of young girls to their new residence, they could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Big Sis Tan Han, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep. But you all, you should go to sleep," Tan Han shook her head and said.

Although she didn't get the answer she had imagined on this trip, it made her even more determined in her own thoughts.

She had to admit that this was a big blow, so much so that even though she was very tired now, she couldn't sleep.

"I can't sleep either. Big Sis Tan Han, let's chat... I can see that after you came back, Big Sis Tan Han, you've changed a little."

"Is that so? Is it that obvious?"

Tan Han subconsciously touched her face and asked.

"Actually, you can't really tell. It's mainly your state. It feels like every time you go to find Big Sis Little Han, you get snubbed. Actually, Big Sis Tan Han, you don't have to be like that..."

"No... you don't understand. Some things are worth it, even if you get snubbed."

"Alright... then I won't meddle in you two's business. By the way, Big Sis Tan Han, what should we do next? We can't just hide here forever, right?"

"Yes."

"Big Sis Qiuyue was taken away by the city guards. Although she said it's okay, we definitely can't just leave her like this."

"I know. That's why we came here to find that sliver of opportunity. Don't lose your heads. We just need to wait for the situation to develop. Our biggest advantage is our combat power in the dream. This means that we need to use the power of Ninglan New City to eliminate those Nightmare Demons."

"Will that guy named Ninglan Qiuyu succeed?"

"Don't underestimate that guy's ambition. Even without our arrival, that ambitious man has long been impatient to kick his father down. And we just need to follow the steps... and get in touch with the extraordinary research base. The extraordinary research base here is the most strategic location in Ninglan New City that cannot be ignored. The extraordinary killers they have are also a great help to us."

As Tan Han spoke, she opened her hand, and in her palm was that nameplate.

With this, she could save a lot of effort.

No wonder Little Han chose to teach runes there back then.

Was all this planned from that time?

While realizing the importance of extraordinary skills, using the knowledge of Runology as a basis, she easily entered the extraordinary research base during the period when the relationship between Ninglan New City and the outsiders was still relatively relaxed.

And she even achieved such a respected status.

"Big Sis Tan Han, what's this?"

"The apprentice nameplate of the extraordinary research base, and also the purpose of our trip. It seems Little Han has already paved the way for us."
