It was late in the night and the time for the Building of Pines and Cranes to put up shutters. People inside the building were cleaning, and thus they embarrassedly refused Ning Que's request. Ning Que, of course, was unwilling to leave now, he took out a sheaf of notes, then drew one and gave it to the manager after thinking for a while.
When he left the Old Brush Pen Shop yesterday, he was ready for the outcome of never going back, in the case he could find Sangsang. So he took the most valuable things with him, including the Primordial Thirteen Arrows, and of course, the notes.
