EOWCFC – Chapter 36: Timeless Meeting!

    Xiao Ziling, who is still a wounded and sick person, was of course excluded from this operation. Xiao Ziling is self-aware and did not take the initiative to ask like last time. Besides, he has been assigned to Chu Zhitian’s team and has many opportunities to perform, so there is no need to fight for it. 

    Xiao Ziling, who was thinking clearly, watched Chu Zhitian set off with the large army, and then returned to his room to continue practicing his mind-clearing technique. After a high-quality meditation was over, Xiao Ziling saw it was almost 12 o’clock, and his stomach also felt that it was lunchtime. He was a little hungry, so he went to the dining room for lunch. 

   The members of Chu Zhitian’s team have a very loose mealtime. Each meal lasts for two hours, 7.00-9.00 in the morning, 11.00-13.00 in the afternoon, and 18.00-20.00 in the evening. During these two hours, the team members can choose a time slot to eat at will, and the chef in the dining room will keep the food and wait for the team members to pick it up. The mealtime is so loose because when cultivating, we often do not know when to wake up. With this flexible time choice, team members do not have to worry about overdoing their training and running out of food. 

    Xiao Ziling’s originally happy mood turned from sunny to cloudy the moment he entered the dining room. 

    It turned out Zhang Ai’ai and Jiang Qingyu were also eating in the dining room. Because the two of them did not have much fighting strength, and because they were girls, they were not suitable for being transport personnel. There are only three of them left in the base camp. 

    When Xiao Ziling saw these two people, his first reaction was to leave. But before he could act, Zhang Ai’ai had already seen him and waved excitedly to him excitedly: “Xiaoling, what a coincidence, come and follow us. Let’s sit together!” 

    Xiao Ziling could only squeeze out a smile and took his own meal and sat at their table. Although Xiao Ziling was reluctant in his heart, he couldn’t change his face in front of them, so he could only come over against his will. 

    As soon as Xiao Ziling sat down, Zhang Ai’ai asked curiously, “Xiaoling, last time you and Chu-ge came back with an injury at the dock. What happened?” Others have no idea what happened. 

    Hearing Zhang Ai’ai’s question, Jiang Qingyu also stopped moving her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Ziling intently, waiting for his answer. 

    Xiao Ziling smiled shyly: “I don’t know well either. At that time, I was already in a coma due to an overdraft of supernatural powers. I heard from Chu-ge that there was a powerful zombie.” 

    Zhang Ai’ai was disappointed by Xiao Ziling’s answer. She always wanted to know if Chu Zhitian was really dying, which was related to the credibility of her prediction, but Chen Jingwen was cunning and didn’t reveal it at all. At first, I thought Chen Jingwen was pretending to be mystical and clairvoyant, but did not expect to see Chu Zhitian leading the team in high spirits today. At first glance, she knew it was not as serious as she thought. 

    Zhang Ai’ai is still struggling with the authenticity of the dock incident, but Jiang Qingyu is lonely and a little absent-minded over there. 

    Jiang Qingyu plucked the rice from the bowl but suddenly lost her appetite. Although Chen Jingwen asked them to stay after the dock incident, he did not pay attention to them and did not say whether they were included in the team. The management opportunity was still there, so she seized the opportunity to perform well. Her concubine status is, awkwardly, still unknown.

    She and Zhang Ai’ai are still marginalized team members. Like this operation, no one notified them. She was so anxious; not being taken seriously meant she had no chance to contact Chu Zhitian. If she couldn’t contact Chu Zhitian, how could she capture Chu Zhitian’s heart? 

    When Jiang Qingyu was troubled, Xiao Ziling’s innocent and cute smiling face jumped into her eyes, which made her eyes light up, and she began to calculate in her heart. 

    Xiao Ziling is currently the only member of Chu Zhitian’s attacking team. He will definitely be in constant contact with Chu Zhitian, so she can find opportunities from him. Besides, Xiao Ziling is relatively young, and his innocent and cute appearance should be easy to coax. If she can get his help… The more Jiang Qingyu thought about it, the more feasible it became, and the originally cold expression suddenly became gentle. 

    Jiang Qingyu silently inserted herself into the conversation between Zhang Ai’ai and Xiao Ziling, and asked about Xiao Ziling’s physical condition kindly. Jiang Qingyu’s change made Xiao Ziling, who was already vigilant, even more careful. To answer a question, he had to go over it three times to make sure there was no problem before answering. Of course, Xiao Ziling did not want to be fooled by others, and wasn’t sure whether Jiang Qing was asking questions with or without further intent. And considering Zhang Ai’ai’s previous affairs… After a meal, Xiao Ziling felt mentally sleepy and exhausted, and sighed in his heart that Infernal Affairs was really not done by humans. 

    After finally finishing the meal, Xiao Ziling left on the pretext of not fully recovering from the injury and still feeling unwell, finally ending the verbal wrestling. 

    Seeing Xiao Ziling’s departure, Zhang Ai’ai, who had been full of doubts, couldn’t help but ask Jiang Qingyu, “Sister Jiang, why are you so nice to Xiao Ziling?” Jiang Qingyu was very arrogant. Except for the captain and the deputy captain, there were basically no admirable people in the team. Only a few people could catch her eye, so why bother being so kind and gentle to Xiao Ziling?

    “Xiao Ziling is now the only member of Chu-ge’s attacking team. Do you still think he is just a small team member? 

    At first glance, Xiao Ziling was only full of smiles, so Zhang Ai’ai assumed his innocent and naive appearance must mena he is incompetent. Therefore… maybe Chu Zhitian was injured to save this kid. 

    Zhang Ai’ai suddenly had some insight when she thought of this, and quietly pulled Jiang Qingyu in a low voice: “Sister Jiang, do you think Chu-ge was injured this time because of this kid? I heard the team members who went this time are only those two. Chu-ge is injured, but the other was not injured at all…” 

    “No way…” Jiang Qingyu understood what Zhang Ai’ai meant, but felt it was not the case. “If Xiao Ziling really caused the trouble, this time the group will not put him into the attacking group.” 

    Hearing this, Zhang Ai’ai also knew her suspicion was a little wrong, nodded and said, “That’s right, maybe there is another reason we don’t I know. However, Sister Jiang, even if he is a member of Chu-ge’s team, you don’t have to be so nice to him.” Zhang Ai’ai doesn’t like this kid who likes to laugh, so he inevitably has some opinions. 

    “We want a strong standing… maybe Xiao Ziling will help us.” Jiang Qingyu said lightly. 

    “Ah? Him?” Zhang Ai’ai was a little contemptuous. What kind of ability does a team member like him have? 

    “How many people can contact Chu Zhitian at will?” Jiang Qingyu was a little disappointed that Zhang Ai’ai still couldn’t see the situation. 

    Zhang Ai’ai came to her senses. Since the grouping, apart from Dong Haozhe and Chen Jingwen, the other team members are not allowed to leave their group for independent activities, which also prevents Zhang Ai’ai and Jiang Qingyu from looking for opportunities to contact Chu Zhitian. Only Chu Zhitian’s group members can contact Chu Zhitian at will… and currently, only Xiao Ziling is part of Chu Zhitian’s group.

    Seeing Zhang Ai’ai’s stunned look, Jiang Qingyu said with satisfaction: “Now you know, we were not taken seriously in Chen Jingwen’s team. If we don’t look for opportunities, we will never make it.” 

    “So you want to use Xiao Ziling…” Before Zhang Ai’ai could finish speaking, Jiang Qingyu tapped his lips with his finger, signaling Zhang Ai’ai to speak carefully. 

    Zhang Ai’ai stuck out her tongue to show that she understood. The conversation between the two ended, and she concentrated on eating. 

    And Xiao Ziling, who had left, didn’t know that Jiang Qingyu and Zhang Ai’ai had copied his idea and wanted to use him to get close to Chu Zhitian. He was in ecstasy now at his new discovery.
