Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng scaled the stone wall using the hanging vines,, the sound of their ascent echoing through the entire pyramid. Chen Yekai looked up and glanced into the distance - there was a broken stone bridge. They had to climb up to higher ground, jump onto the stone bridge, then walk along the passage behind the stone bridge to enter the central area of Chichén Itzá before they could arrive in front of the well of reincarnation.

Zhou Sheng suddenly said, "Let's talk about your grumpy little friend ba, we'll need to deal with him head-on later."

Chen Yekai tugged on a vine. Zhou Sheng reached out from beside him and pulled his hand. With the extra momentum, Chen Yekai landed onto another protruding rock, then they continued to advance carefully.

"Takin has always been like that." Chen Yekai spoke in an unhurried manner, "He rejects almost all of my friends - no matter if they're a guy or a girl."

"That proves that he wants to monopolize you." Zhou Sheng said casually, then jumped onto a ridge in the brickwork. He thought for a moment before whistling.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yekai asked doubtfully.

"Nothing." Zhou Sheng wanted to try and summon his jindouyun, but was unable to.

"Love can't tolerate a third party." Chen Yekai said, "But if it goes too far, you'll suffer a lot. My social media, phone, email, and blog were thoroughly inspected, and every girl who had a secret crush on me had to endure his interrogation......"

"That is quite scary."

In the huge shrine that was nearly 20 meters above ground, Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai edged slowly across with their backs stuck to the wall; they were approaching the vines suspended mid-air above the shrine.

"Do you feel guilty?" Zhou Sheng asked.

Chen Yekai replied with another question, "What do you think?"

Zhou Sheng felt helpless, "He's too strong. You need to overcome the guilt in your heart. After all, the him in your dreams, is no longer the real him. You have to prevail over yourself."

Chen Yekai reflected on this for a moment before saying, "Yeah, but I can't help it. For many nights, I often dreamt of that inn, and also dreamt of Ryuusei, standing under the sun as he waited for me to return......"

"......if I had known just a little earlier......"

"I locked the door, but I always couldn't help but go in to see him. Until I met Yu Hao......"

Zhou Sheng, "Is it because you didn't visit the Ryuusei in your dreams, that he escaped and became even stronger?"

"Perhaps." Chen Yekai answered, "You're right. We need to save Yu Hao. If I don't get over this, I won't be able to defeat Ryuusei."

Zhou Sheng thought about it for awhile, "I think you've already......it's not your fault, Kaikai. Also, even if it was your fault, your confession should be for the pursuit of salvation, not to torture yourself."

"Who should I confess to?" Chen Yekai asked, "He's already dead; no one can forgive me anymore."

Zhou Sheng said, "Think about it. What would he say if he were still alive? I'm saying, the real him......"

Chen Yekai didn't respond. He stopped, and Zhou Sheng followed suit.

"On the day Takin left me, he wrote a letter to me." Chen Yekai said, "On his blog."
