"You still haven't understood? Fine, I'll explain it again. This is the last time! I'll say it slowly: we, first, sneak, in-"
"Wait!"
Chen Qing Shan really couldn't listen anymore.
"What? I haven't finished!"
"Nothing, I-I understand..."
"Do you really?" Xin Yi asked doubtfully.
Xiao Shan forced herself to say, "I really do..."
Xin Yi tilted her head and looked Chen Qing Shan over.
"Then repeat it for me."
Chen Qing Shan bit the bullet.
"First we sneak-oh, don't you think your plan is too... too simple?"
Xin Yi frowned. "You think it's simple?"
"Don't you?"
"If it's simple, why didn't you understand?"
"..."
Earlier, Chen Qing Shan had marched toward death in her despair, already prepared to stake everything on one desperate gamble. Now that she had found the Yidu Tribe and glimpsed hope, she instead grew calmer and said thoughtfully:
"If this were a mansion, we might have a chance of succeeding by sneaking in at night and keeping out of sight. But this is a barbarian stockade. It'll be enormous inside, and if it's like the Wenyang Tribe's, it'll be divided into different districts. We don't know the way, and our clothes and appearances are different from the barbarians'. If we rush in blindly, we'll just blunder around like headless flies-"
Xin Yi frowned again. "A headless fly would definitely be dead. How could it blunder around?"
Chen Qing Shan: ...
"Anyway, we probably won't find them. Once we're discovered and barbarian soldiers come to surround us, all our efforts will go down the drain! Even if we're lucky enough to find them, can the two of us alone bring them out safely?"
Xin Yi thought for a moment, then said:
"If a fly doesn't have a head, it simply can't-"
**"Fine! I used the wrong expression!
