Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 925: Chapter 905: Seclusion on the 23rd Floor

”Deep breath.” Tang Tianyi patted Luo Qianqian’s back beside him: ”Maintain your usual state, he’s still watching us.”

Luo Qianqian was momentarily stunned, then she smiled and wrapped her arms around Tang Tianyi’s neck, her eyebrows full of joy, leaning close to his ear as if whispering something, from Sawadera Ichiro’s perspective, of course.

But from Tang Tianyi’s perspective, Luo Qianqian’s face was stiff, she leaned close to his ear and said... ”My feet are a bit out of control.”

After being dazed for a moment, he embraced her by the waist and carried her across the road, only putting her down once they were across, his face a bit flushed, watching the vehicles pass by, and the figure by the cafe window had already disappeared.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of tension: ”Are you alright?”

Luo Qianqian gently shook her head: ”For now, I’m alright.” She tapped her legs, her face full of disbelief.

”Did you hear what that li... old man said?” Luo Qianqian touched her chest, looking utterly unable to accept.

”Chaos, The Eighth Element.” Tang Tianyi’s face showed no sign of surprise: ”The question is why did they find us? How did they confirm our country’s existence but couldn’t pinpoint the exact location?”

Luo Qianqian basically didn’t hear what the two were talking about later on.

After Tang Tianyi spoke, her expression relaxed a bit, her brows furrowing tightly: ”It doesn’t make sense, does it? Normally, given their small domain and limited knowledge, how could they have information even we don’t have?”

”That’s because this organization isn’t a legitimate inheritance.” Tang Tianyi was dazed for a long time, finally sighing: ”But they’ve been officially recognized, so they are legitimate.”

Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi in confusion.

Tang Tianyi gazed at Luo Qianqian with a gentle smile: ”All you need to know is that no matter where, you are always a dazzling presence.”

”I’m not the Sun.” Luo Qianqian pouted, sighed, then looked up at the school gate: ”Suddenly, it feels like a storm is brewing.”

”We won’t be discovered.” Tang Tianyi suddenly said.

Luo Qianqian looked at him, puzzled, her face inexplicable.

Lowering his head, when Tang Tianyi raised it again, his eyes were full of determination: ”Even if we’re discovered, I’ll protect you!”

Luo Qianqian curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, also looking up at the sky.

The wind was still chilly. Yet in Luo Qianqian’s eyes gazing at the sky, there was a hint of gravity.

She naturally understood what Tang Tianyi meant; they wouldn’t be discovered.

Her fear of being discovered concerned only one thing.

The mysterious Eighth Element.

But how did Tang Tianyi understand what she meant by alcohol?

No time for deep thought, she followed Tang Tianyi into the enclosed building.

The building was operating normally, but only on the first level, which housed a large comprehensive supermarket occupying the entire floor.

”Don’t be nervous.” Diwu Yan looked at Luo Qianqian, then bitterly smiled: ”Next, you two give it your best, placement isn’t important, your safety is.”

Tang Tianyi nodded.

Luo Qianqian remained silent throughout, which was Tang Tianyi’s suggestion. To avoid being approached for a chat.

Tang Tianyi naturally wore a cold face towards strangers.

”Let’s go.” Seeing Diwu Yan leave with the other leaders, Tang Tianyi pulled Luo Qianqian and swiped the card into the elevator, their destination was the twenty-third floor where security checks would be conducted at the elevator entrance, and nothing could be taken in, electronic devices and bags had to be left by the security check.

Luo Qianqian simply left her belongings at home, as there was nothing special to carry daily anyway.

This was also what the old man had said. The old man primarily entrusted himself to the Secret Manual in Luo Qianqian’s Sea of Knowledge.

After the security check, they couldn’t leave the twenty-third floor, all meals were uniformly prepared, no ordering allowed.

This was the greatest benefit for the host country, with local cuisine, avoiding dietary problems.

Each country’s contestants numbered one to two, more than seen before.

Small badges with national flags adorned the right collars of their uniforms for easy identification.

”I’m next door.” Seeing Luo Qianqian choose a room, Tang Tianyi chose his, ignoring the oddly behaving others, they each entered their rooms, avoiding communication.

Luo Qianqian leaned against the door, her face showing a bitter smile.

”Why do I always feel like my secrets will be exposed?” And just now, Sawadera Shichirou’s gaze was clearly provocative, even malicious...

What exactly is going on?

Moreover, why did everyone look at them with odd eyes when she and Tang Tianyi entered?

At this moment, Tang Tianyi frowned, glancing at his wrist’s bead string, two beads had already cracked among the eleven, losing nearly one-fifth upon face-to-face meeting, how could he accept this?

Yet he hadn’t noticed a thing.

”Master, I can protect Qhianqhian, right? Must be...”

The hall wasn’t peaceful now: ”Didn’t you say they’d see blood as soon as they came in?”

A dark-skinned boy with curly hair held a wooden scepter, glaring at Sawadera Shichirou.

As a weapon, it was naturally allowed, just like the scepter without any metal response and the jade beads.

Sawadera Shichirou frowned tightly, seemingly puzzled, yet now wasn’t the time to break with these people.

”It’s certain they have some kind of Magic Artifact! Surely!” He looked certain, his white and tender face full of urgency.

Outside activities didn’t concern Luo Qianqian.

He sensed something out of place but realized now wasn’t the time to consider it, taking a deep breath, he began urgent cultivation.

Meanwhile, Tang Tianyi gazed thoughtfully out the window.

He recalled this morning’s newspaper reporting an apartment fire that burned an Islander to death, and if other countries’ foreign guests hadn’t gathered outside, they’d have faced similar danger.

These foreign guests outside were those mentioned.

And the one burned to death was Sawadera Juusaburou.

”Could it be we’ve inadvertently evaded a trap?” Tang Tianyi sighed.

Both silently cultivated in their rooms while the sky outside gradually darkened, Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes gazing at the sky.

”Dinner.” A knock sounded, with Tang Tianyi’s voice outside the door.

Luo Qianqian opened the door, seeing Tang Tianyi with a tray, smiling as she let him into the room.

Seeing the untarnished bedding, Tang Tianyi’s face showed some realization: ”Are you tired?”

Luo Qianqian gently shook her head, face calm: ”Energetic, refreshed.”

As long as she didn’t interact with that Islander.

Clearly calculated, and the manipulated person, Luo Qianqian was sure, lay between her and Tang Tianyi!
