Chapter 410 Adding More Updates

Morning.

As the door slowly opened, Jiang Xiao cautiously poked his head in and saw a huge figure, curled up miserably on his single bed.

Er Wei looked exceptionally sweet as she slept, her icy aura completely gone. At this moment, she was like a giant cat, lazily curled up.

The deep red windbreaker draped over her revealed her alluring body lines, and her long hair scattered across her face, revealing a side of her that no one knew.

Jiang Xiao listened to her long, deep breaths and, after thinking it over, decided not to disturb her. He gently closed the door behind him and placed the toiletries at the entrance.

Returning to the kitchen, he placed the food he had bought in the rice cooker to keep warm. He hurriedly put on his clothes and left for school.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Er Wei stirred, rolled over, and lay on her back on the small bed, opening her sleepy eyes.

Unfamiliar ceiling, unfamiliar room. This was her life, year after year.

Constantly traveling between cities, she might wake up in a hotel, a basement, or even a cave or tunnel in another dimension.

What set this place apart from those others was that...

There was a faint, familiar scent on these unfamiliar sheets.

Er Wei's eyes gradually focused, and after a few seconds, she remembered where she was.

She couldn't help but stretch, but her foot bumped into the closet next to the end of the bed. She frowned slightly, threw off the deep red coat draped over her, and got out of bed.

There was a stack of books on the desk, along with a single photograph.

In the photo, the young boy's face was full of untamed arrogance, looking like he deserved a beating.

Er Wei glanced at it silently, then reached out and turned the photo frame face down on the table.

*Swish*

She reached out and pulled open the curtains. Warm sunlight streamed onto her face, causing her to squint. She slowly gathered the hair at the back of her head with one hand, quietly enjoying the beauty of the moment.

The next moment, her nose twitched slightly.

After tying her hair into a low ponytail, Er Wei walked out of the room and kicked something, making a clattering sound.

Er Wei looked down and saw a toothbrush, towel, and soap in a clear plastic bag.

Er Wei raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick up the bag, looked around, found her way, and entered the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she walked into the kitchen while brushing her teeth. This was the smell she had noticed first.

There was a piece of paper on the table, the beautiful Chinese characters scrawled and crooked:

"Food's in the pot, there are side dishes in the fridge."

Er Wei tilted her head, twitched her nose, and followed the scent to the rice cooker, opening it with one hand.

In the rice cooker, above the steamer, was a bowl of soy milk and four stacked meat pies.

In the empty room, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Half an hour later, she shuffled out in slippers, the door wide open, grabbed the shoe rack casually, leaned the door against it, and walked out of 701, heading to the door of room 702.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

Er Wei knocked on the security door of room 702.

After patiently waiting for 20 seconds, Er Wei knocked three more times.

This time, her nose twitched slightly, and she said to the security door, "Shou Ye, Zhu Guang." (Night Watch, Light Chaser)

It was as if she knew there was someone behind this security door.

Moreover, she seemed to know the person's true identity, which was why she said those words.

But there was still no sound from behind the security door of 702.

Er Wei looked down at the peephole on the door and said a few words: "He will join the Shou Ye (Night Watch) Corps in the future."

After saying this, Er Wei turned and left, returned to room 701, picked up the shoe rack, walked inside, and closed the door behind her.

On the security door of 702, the pitch-black peephole regained its brightness. It seemed that the figure behind the door had already left and was no longer peering through the peephole.

At the same time, at Jiangbin No. 1 High School, the bell rang for the end of morning reading. Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at Han Jiangxue behind him and Xia Yan across the aisle.

Jiang Xiao waved to Li Weiyi in the distance, and Li Weiyi curiously came over.

The quartet occupied a corner of the classroom, and Jiang Xiao whispered, "I know which armory we're going to train in, and I know the terrain and the approximate distribution of the monster groups."

Xia Yan said with a chuckle, "Is this the result of your sacrifice? What a dirty deal."

Oh ho!?

Mocking me!?

I'm a great hero!

I still remember the feeling of attending the king last night!

I was so nervous, and I managed to get information, but you're actually mocking me!?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, looked at Xia Yan, and said affectionately, "Although I'm being kept by another woman, you have to remember that I still love you."

"Pfft..." Li Weiyi couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle.

Tactical master!

Self-destructing king!

I admit I'm a wolf, I self-destruct, and even if I die, I'll splatter you with blood!

Xia Yan snorted, "I don't believe you, you little rascal, you're very bad."

"Let's talk business," Han Jiangxue said coldly.

"During training this afternoon, I'll show you a map, and everything on it is very detailed," Jiang Xiao said. "But this map is the map of the North Jiang Province League assessment location, not the armory map where we'll be training tomorrow."

Han Jiangxue said, "Armories are not regular training locations. Most of them are in a locked state. Only two or three are open to the public. Which one did she give you the map of?"

Jiang Xiao replied, "The one in Zhongcheng County, Guanlin City."

"Guanlin City? That's so far?" Xia Yan frowned and said, "The train takes 12 hours, right? It's also 7 or 8 hours by car, 6 or 7 hundred kilometers."

Jiang Xiao said silently, "If you want to drive a private car, go ahead, but let me make it clear, I'm not going in the trunk."

Han Jiangxue asked, "Why did she give you these?"

Jiang Xiao: "Uh, that's a long story."

Li Weiyi looked back at the clock on the wall and said, "There are still 7 minutes."

Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "When we were in the snowfield, weren't we locked in a prison? Then the mercenaries blew up the prison, and she rescued me. It was like a temporary team-up."

The others nodded, knowing this information.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "A lot of things happened later. To put it simply, I helped her defeat the mercenary deputy leader and saved her from the brink of death. Later, we met in the ruins. You also saw her attitude towards me, and what I did in the end. In short..."

Xia Yan said quietly, "She's taken a liking to you?"

"She wants me to join the Night Watch and wants to take me as her disciple," Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Her current four-person team has fallen apart, and she's short on people."

Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue exchanged glances. The scene they had envisioned in their private conversations was becoming a reality.

Jiang Xiao continued, "By the way, Teacher Hai Tianqing used to be a member of her team. Later, something happened, and Teacher Hai was kicked out, which is why he came to Jiangbin No. 1 High School to be a teacher."

Han Jiangxue nodded: "We already guessed that Teacher Hai was a captain from his shout in the prison. We didn't expect that he was really a Night Watchman."

Li Weiyi sighed, "What a waste of talent. A dignified member of the Night Watch Corps actually came to a high school to be a teacher."

Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement: "And he's a valuable healing-type Awakened."

Han Jiangxue asked, "What do you think?"

"Uh," Jiang Xiao paused, looked at everyone, and said, "I haven't asked, which university do you three want to apply to? Are you planning to apply to the same one, or are you going your separate ways?"

This sentence stumped all three of them.
