Chapter 97: Keep This As Secret
When Zhu Lin heard Meng Zhelan’s question, she turned to look at Meng Zhelan and said, "Yes."
Meng Zhelan and Wen Na exchanged glances, then Meng Zhelan said, "I saw Captain Xiu left five days ago and hasn’t come back. I thought you were going to do a mission together."
Listening to what she said, Zhu Lin glanced at the closed door, then looked back at Meng Zhelan and said, "Thank you."
Leaving behind these words, she walked back to her apartment and closed the door. Wen Na touched her chin thoughtfully and asked curiously, "Did they quarrel?"
Meng Zhelan shrugged and said, "It’s none of our business. Let’s hurry up, lest someone snatch our good position."
After saying that, the two of them hurried to the night market to sell water. As the temperature has dropped over the past few days, their business has not been as good as before. Fortunately, they have regular customers who come to buy water from them. Otherwise, they will need to live in the outer ring area after the end of the month.
The next day, Zhu Lin woke up before the sun rose from the horizon because of the commotion outside. When she opened her eyes and glanced at the table clock beside her bed, it was only three o’clock in the morning. Looking at the sleeping rabbit next to her, she got out of bed without waking up the snoring rabbit.
When she opened the living room window, the noise outside became clearer. She walked out onto the balcony and looked down. Seeing that the people below seemed to be celebrating, Zhu Lin was a little curious.
She took out her ice silk cloak, put it on, and left her apartment. As soon as she came out of the apartment building, she saw that everyone seemed to be holding some kind of skewers, eating and chatting happily. When her eyes fell on the meat, Zhu Lin was surprised to find that there was a faint spiritual energy contained in the meat.
