Chapter 465 - 461: Ling Chen Falls into a Trap (Part 1)
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ling Chen was very surprised. He had never expected to encounter the porridge girl here. After so many days on the ship, he had never seen the porridge girl appear, and here she was, hiding away by herself. Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, Ling Chen’s heart harbored an additional trace of confusion.
The porridge girl went to see that mysterious tea girl; did they know each other? Or could it be that the porridge girl was related to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?
In a flash, many questions surfaced in Ling Chen’s mind, and he couldn’t wait to hear the answers from the porridge girl’s own lips.
"Have a seat," said the porridge girl, pointing to a chair in the room and speaking indifferently.
Ling Chen asked, "When did you board the ship? Why didn’t you say anything to me?"
"Why should I tell you?" The porridge girl replied offhandedly, turning her back to him.
"As friends, why be so distant?" Ling Chen grinned. "Last time Yi Shuiyan came to East Sea City to trouble me, I was fortunate that you stepped in to help. I haven’t properly thanked you yet."
Upon hearing this, the porridge girl turned back to look at Ling Chen, her clear eyes shimmering lightly, showing gratification, admiration, and a hint of confusion.
"I’ve heard about your competition with Yi Shuiyan; congratulations to you."
Ling Chen smiled modestly, "It was pure luck."
