CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 245: BLAME THOSE TWO FOR THEIR LACK OF SKILL

She looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "You sit here, I just ordered milk tea, what flavor do you want to try?"

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and walked over to the milk tea, there were indeed all kinds of flavors, she picked a matcha one and sat down.

"Thank you, Shi San."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s thanks, Shi San’s mouth curled slightly, "No worries, we’re going to drink it anyway!"

Shi Wu laughed and directly exposed her, "What? This milk tea was delivered ages ago, Shi San said no one was allowed to touch it!"

Shiyi added, "Besides, Xuan Er and I don’t drink it, you bought so many cups for what, to let someone pick a flavor?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shisan, feeling warm inside.

Exposed by the two, Xuan Shisan suddenly got embarrassed and angry, "I... I didn’t want to drink it back then, okay! I want to try more flavors, is that not okay!"

"Okay! Whatever you say!" Xuan Shiyi stretched the words out.

"You!"

Lin Xiaoyan: "This shop’s milk tea is quite good, Shi San, have a taste quickly."

Xuan Shisan suppressed her anger, randomly picked a cup of milk tea, took a sip, and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Is it really good?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded with a smile, "Very good, better than the milk tea at my family’s shop!"

Upon hearing this, Shi San’s mouth curled up, "I specifically found the one with the most positive reviews online, it’d be strange if it’s not good!"

On the side, Xuan Shiwu and Lin Xiaoyan were desperately giving eye signals, which Lin Xiaoyan noticed, holding back laughter.

"Xiao Yan."

Suddenly, Xuan Er spoke up.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaoyan immediately sat upright and looked at Xuan Er.

Xuan Er slightly curled his lips, "Don’t be nervous, relax."

"Okay..."

"The reason we brought you to E Province this time is indeed for something important we need your help with..." Xuan Er slowly explained the reason for bringing Lin Xiaoyan in.

In the room were only Lin Xiaoyan and a few people with Xuan Shiyi, Nan Xi was waiting in another room.

After listening to Xuan Er, Lin Xiaoyan looked serious, feeling very heavy inside.

Xuan Shiyi playfully said, "Don’t feel pressured, no matter if you can see it or not, it’s okay, this task is originally ours."

Shi Wu chimed in, "Yes, we calculated that the start point affecting our national fate is in E Province, and it’d happen by the end of this month, but the exact event, we can’t calculate."

Shi San: "Tomorrow I’ll go around with you, even if you truly can’t see anything, it’s not your fault, just blame these two for their poor skills!"

Shi San pointed at Xuan Er and Xuan Shiyi.

Xuan Er and Xuan Shiyi: ......

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the speechless faces of Xuan Er and Xuan Shiyi, she laughed, feeling a bit relieved, "Okay."

"Rest early tonight, I’ll call you in the morning."

"Oh right, regardless of whether you can see anything this time, the payment will be transferred to your account," added Xuan Shiyi.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Okay!"

Early the next morning, Xuan Shisan came knocking on the door.

Nan Xi opened the door, looked at Xuan Shisan outside and said, "Xiao Lin is still freshening up, she’ll be ready soon."

Xuan Shisan looked at Nan Xi and felt that the person before her seemed familiar.

As she walked into the room, she suddenly remembered where she’d seen Nan Xi before.

"It’s you!" Xuan Shisan looked at Nan Xi in surprise.

Previously, she’d seen Nan Xi at a general’s house.

Nan Xi nodded calmly, "Hello, Miss Thirteen."

"You remember me?"

"Yes, back when I served at General Jing’s house, we met by chance."

Hearing Nan Xi’s words, Xuan Shisan nodded, "I didn’t expect you to be with Xiao Yan now."

"My current task is to protect Xiao Lin."

Lin Xiaoyan, hearing the sounds outside, guessed that Shi San was here. She quickly finished washing up and then stepped out.

"I’m ready."

Xuan Shisan looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Then let’s go have breakfast first."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Okay, is Shi Wu coming?"

"She’s not coming, she has other things to do."

Xuan Shisan took Lin Xiaoyan out of the hotel and went to a breakfast joint.

Early morning, the breakfast place was already crowded.

Mostly parents bringing kids for breakfast before sending them to school.

Xuan Shisan quickly ordered three breakfasts, and then they found a place to sit.

"Sorry, make a little room."

Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Xiaoyan scooted over a bit, accidentally bumping into a kid next to her.

She quickly steadied the kid with both hands, and a scene flashed before her eyes.

Before she could stand firmly, someone else approached, brushing past her shoulder.

Lin Xiaoyan stood there, dazed, "watching" different scenes with the same outcome.

"Xiao Yan!"

Xuan Shisan and Nan Xi placed their breakfasts on the table, realizing Lin Xiaoyan wasn’t behind them, their hearts sank, they spotted Lin Xiaoyan standing motionless.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s condition, they felt a chill and quickly rushed over, protecting her and guiding her to a seat.

Xuan Shisan glanced at the people in the restaurant, feeling a deeper weight, could it be... here?

She quickly lowered her head, trying to calculate, but after a while, looked confused, it’s not here!

By this time, Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, looking at everyone in the shop...

Suddenly, she stretched out her hand, grabbing Southy by the hand.

Then, she also held Xuan Shisan’s hand which was still calculating.

Lin Xiaoyan decisively stood up, heading outside, accidentally bumping into several more people along the way.

Each person triggered a scene!

"Xiao Lin!"

"Xiao Yan!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan suddenly walking out, Nan Xi and Xuan Shisan hurriedly followed.

Lin Xiaoyan stood at the entrance of the restaurant, watching the bustling crowd passing by.

"Where are there the most people now?"

Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Nan Xi glanced around, eyes locked on a student in a school uniform.

"School!"

Hearing "school," Lin Xiaoyan shifted her gaze to those leading children walking in the same direction.

"Let’s go, to the school!"

The three quickly grabbed three shared e-bikes, following the students’ flow to the school.

The school was close, just two blocks away, and at the gate, students were already streaming in.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced around and noticed stationery stores on both sides of the school, packed with students.

She strode over and weaved through the crowd of students...

Nan Xi and Xuan Shisan stood by the shop’s entrance, keeping a close eye on Lin Xiaoyan.

Suddenly, the school bell rang: "Students, class time is approaching, please..."

"Hurry, hurry, we’ll be late!"

"Let’s go, our teacher starts morning reading today!"

"I haven’t bought my pen yet, oh no..."

With the bell ringing, the stationery shop suddenly emptied out as all the students rushed away.

Instantly, Lin Xiaoyan found herself alone in the shop.

The shop owner glanced at the young girl and asked, "Want to buy something?"

Lin Xiaoyan, with a blank look, glanced at the shop’s items, randomly picked a pen, "This one."

"Two Yuan."

Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone, mechanically paid, and then walked out of the stationery shop.
