Chapter 64 Farewell
Night Lan rubbed her eager little palms, gazing at the screen.
There were five cars displayed, and the current inventory showed exactly five.
With the number of Night Watchers in the capital reaching saturation point, there was no way new Sunlight Night Watchers could be added unless the current ones retired. That’s the only way for new potentials to rise to the top.
Night Lan herself existed as a special case.
Although she was technically one of the Sunlight Night Watchers in the capital, only the Leader knew about it.
Well… Ji Yun could be counted as well.
But unfortunately, Night Lan wasn’t staying in the capital. Unregistered, she wouldn’t stir any trouble there, making her existence almost invisible.
Plus, Night Lan mentioned retiring right after getting her flying car, saving the Leader from any headache.
While the Leader was pondering these things, Night Lan was looking at the feature descriptions of these five cars.
Though their exteriors varied, their core technology remained the same.
As one of Celestech’s products, the quality was guaranteed, outclassing every car outside.
Each car had different characteristics, though they didn’t affect its overall strength, which made them quite interesting.
For instance, Night Lan had her eye on a black-and-white color scheme car, slightly smaller than the others and perfect for pairing with Loli!
This car had the “Disguise” feature, capable of changing appearances, hiding its distinctive features. It could even stretch from a four-seater to a six- or even an eight-seater by adding some camouflage, ensuring no one would notice it while in the air. Absolutely mind-blowing!
Perfect for someone as socially anxious as Night Lan!
She also thought about taking the entire Rising Sun Theatre troupe for a ride; nothing could beat that coolness factor!
“I want this one!”
Without hesitation, Night Lan selected the car with the “Disguise” attribute, finding it incredibly useful.
The Leader’s attention was piqued by Night Lan’s voice, focusing to see which car she chose.
“This one? It suits your personality perfectly.”
The Leader didn’t question further but proceeded to input the ownership information into the car.
Now, Night Lan could summon this car anytime using Night Watcher devices.
Her joy lasted only momentarily as she quickly recalled another concern.
“Hmm… but I’m heading back to Yun Chang City. What will happen to this car?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange to have it sent to Night Watcher Base in Yun Chang City. You’ll get it then.”
“Yay~ Thank you so much, Leader! Always thinking ahead!”
Seeing Night Lan’s gleeful expression, the Leader smiled warmly.
“Now that you have the car, are you planning to retire?”
“Retire?”
Night Lan pondered.
Earlier she had said she’d retire right after getting the cool car, but now she felt it wasn’t appropriate given the situation.
It felt rather flippant.
“Do you want me to retire?”
“Not really, if you remain a Sunlight Night Watcher without duty, I’d feel more at ease.”
The Leader revealed his thoughts honestly.
Hearing this, Night Lan contemplated briefly.
Then, mustering courage, she said decisively, “I won’t retire then. Who knows, maybe I’ll come back to the capital someday. This identity might still be useful. Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
“Haha~ That works!” Night Lan’s goofy smile made her look super adorable.
With Ji Yun’s help, Night Lan and the Leader returned to the office.
Now, Night Lan seemed to have nothing else to do.
The Leader sat down, addressing the departing Night Lan, “Night Lan, what are your future plans? Will knowing the secret from the Dream Narrator prompt any action?”
“I’d prefer peace! I just want a quiet, normal life!”
“Hope for the best! We’ll meet again sometime.”
“Yeah, goodbye, Leader~”
After the farewell, Night Lan left.
The Leader found himself lost in thought once more.
Night Lan’s desire for a tranquil life seemed genuine, and that Loli didn’t seem like troublemaker material.
But with the Extraordinary Star, unpredictable things could always find her.
Plus, being part of the Rising Sun Theatre troup, even her daily life wouldn’t stay quiet.
Hopefully, everything works out.
Cut to Night Lan and Ji Yun reaching the rest area.
Finally, she could pack up and head back to Yun Chang City.
Thinking of this, Night Lan packed swiftly, placing all necessities in her suitcase, and tossed it into the Theatre Door.
Flawless!
No one should notice her luggage disappeared; she could always make up some story that she sent it back home.
Just need to pretend it’s all good and board the plane back to Yun Chang City.
Before doing so, she needed to properly say goodbye to everyone here, like Night Feather and Yu Xin.
Night Feather counted as a friend, often looking out for her in the capital. A proper farewell was necessary.
Yu Xin was tasked by Wang Chao to protect Night Lan from any trouble in the capital.
Even though Night Lan hadn’t caused much trouble during her stay in the capital, Yu Xin still managed to play some role. Thus, Night Lan felt grateful.
After all, this pretty “Big Sister” took her out and showed her a good time.
Night Lan was someone who remembered kindness.
Thinking this, Night Lan left her room and buzzed Yu Xin’s door nearby.
A moment later, Night Feather emerged from her room.
“Night Lan? What brings you here?”
“Hmm… I’m leaving the capital today, so I wanted to say goodbye.”
Upon hearing this, Night Feather initially froze, then quickly switched gears.
“Oh, I see. True, there are no eternal gatherings, but farewells can lead to better meetings. The weak must leave the strong to grow, hoping you’ll become stronger through this process and return as my assistant. I expect great things from you.”
“Hmm, alright. Remember, do your best in the capital. Maybe you’ll become a Sunlight Night Watcher, and don’t forget to watch over me.”
Night Lan was used to Night Feather’s way of speaking, having no trouble communicating with her.
Night Feather responded with prideful poise, as a true strong one.
“Don’t worry, I am who I am. Such a title is only a matter of time. No matter when, as long as you’re by my side, my wings will protect you.”
“Hmm. Bye~”
Night Lan waved goodbye.
Night Feather watched her leave, dropping her haughty demeanor and showing a regretful face.
“It’s such a shame to lose such a cute companion… should I consider becoming a Night Watcher in her city?”
