Five days.
Ten days.
Lin Fei asked Jiang Man if the heat had died down and if he could finally stop reading.
Jiang Man shook his head, saying it was still too soon.
Fifteen days.
Lin Fei asked Jiang Man again if the heat had died down.
Jiang Man still just shook his head.
Twenty days.
Lin Fei had stopped asking. He knew the answer would just be another shake of the head.
He was certain Jiang Man was deliberately hiding here to prevent others from taking revenge.
'All this talk about getting stronger is just an excuse,' he thought. 'The man's just too scared to try pulling the sword anymore.'
Their friendship was only based on idle chatter, so he had no intention of insulting the man. What if he pushed him too hard, and Jiang Man actually went to pull the sword and got himself killed?
'Who would I have to talk to then?'
'The guy was arrogant and full of hot air, but I have to admit, talking with him is interesting.'
