Chapter 240: The Vanishing Celebration Banquet
Murong Ziyue gazed at Xin Lin for a moment.
"You recently, have you come into contact with... Never mind."
Xin Lin’s small face was full of smiles, whatever Murong Ziyue meant to say stopped at her lips and was swallowed back.
If one is affected by the Ghostly Aura, at best they would be plagued by misfortune, at worst it would cost them their life. Seeing how Xin Lin could still bounce around, it didn’t seem likely that she’d be involved with that sort of thing.
"Ziyue, remember what I said, be cautious with your food and drink these next couple days."
Xin Lin said with an air of mystery.
Murong Ziyue did not say much, simply nodded and turned to leave.
Her nature was to be cautious, and she treated her food and drink with care. She didn’t take Xin Lin’s words too seriously.
"Sister, everyone’s gone, we should head back too."
Little Xinzhuo noticed Xin Lin transfixed by the retreating figure of Murong Ziyue and gently tugged on her sleeve.
Today’s Written Examination has finally passed, thankfully without incident. Both he and his sister achieved good rankings, and they could return home to share the good news with their mother.
"Ah Zhuo, don’t you feel like we have a good rapport with Murong Ziyue?"
Xin Lin suddenly blurted out.
"Yes, Sister Ziyue is a kind person, and her kung fu skills are also formidable."
Little Xinzhuo looked up in admiration.
"That’s why we must forge a good relationship with her in the future!"
Xin Lin had made up her mind, she wanted to help Murong Ziyue.
Her superpower was very accurate, although Murong Ziyue verbally agreed, she didn’t seem to care all that much about the matter of her food.
She excels in both literary and martial arts, and it’s inevitable that she seems a bit aloof.
After the humiliation today, Jin Chen will surely try to avenge himself by any means necessary.
She needed to ponder on how she could aid Murong Ziyue.
"Foolish."
Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, Gui Hu witnessed this scene and muttered in annoyance.
This Little Budian, always mistaking kindness for donkey’s liver and lungs. Well, let her learn through adversity, since she always takes advantage of others, it’s time she faces some losses to learn a lesson.
But, unexpectedly, those people... they caught up so quickly...
Gui Hu pondered darkly.
When Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo returned to the Water Wraith Gang, it was just around dusk.
As soon as they entered, Shi Guiren greeted them.
"Emperor, Little Lin, congratulations."
Shi Guiren had learned early on from Ma Jingtian that Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo had achieved second and fourth place, respectively.
"Mother, I was just a little shy of the top three."
Little Xinzhuo looked down, embarrassed.
"Silly child, you’ve already done so well. If your grandfather were still alive, he would be incredibly proud to see you perform so outstandingly."
She beamed with pride, caressing Little Xinzhuo’s head, her eyes tinged with sorrow at the thought of her late father.
"What’s this? Today should be a happy day. The Gang Leader has already prepared a table full of delicious food. Come on now, no dawdling."
Ma Jingtian’s booming voice rang out as he emerged, seeing Shi Guiren’s reddening eyes and quickly intervening to smooth things over.
"That’s right, I’ve been starving. Mother, let me tell you about..."
Little Xinzhuo, ever understanding, started to recount their experiences at the North Square that day to Shi Guiren.
The group, full of joy, just entered the side hall.
Just as they set foot inside, Ma Jingtian was stunned.
"What the... Someone! What happened here? Which bastard stole the food? If I catch him, I’ll skin him alive!"
No wonder Ma Jingtian was so furious; the lavish feast he had prepared from the news given by Captain Yang to celebrate for Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo had vanished. Only a barren plate remained, not even a drop of soup left.
