Big Face Tree was still talking to itself, but Lu Yin was focused on reciting the entire text on the stone wall. He couldn't hear a thing.

Nong Sanniang was shocked. Long Qi really was full of surprises. Wang Su had managed five sentences back then, and Bai Shao Hong had come by too, but he hadn't gotten past a few sentences.
