Chapter 49: I’ve Received Professional Training
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous? Should I assume that even if there’s a conflict, you have the ability to resolve it?”
“Um, I guess that’s about the gist of it.” Night Lan nodded gently.
After confirming this, the Leader started to get the gist.
Night Lan had intel to counter the Rising Sun Theater Group.
And indeed, an Extraordinary Star Holder couldn’t be viewed through ordinary logic.
The Leader thought to herself.
“So, what do you think of the Rising Sun Theater Group?”
“I feel like we could be friends!”
Although they were originally all friends, in front of three clueless people, you naturally had to put on a little act.
Upon hearing this, the mouths of the three present twitched.
What a novel thought process!
Many Night Watchers considered the Rising Sun Theater Group a threat, yet Night Lan thought they could be friends.
Talk about worlds apart!
However, judging from her previous help to the Star Eclipses, Night Lan wasn’t someone who easily viewed the Eclipses as enemies.
There were plenty who thought like her within the Night Watcher organization.
But they wouldn’t engage in excessive contact or even consider playing friends.
There was an unbreakable wall between humans and the Eclipses.
Yet Night Lan could ignore this wall; it was unheard of.
The Leader wasn’t sure whether Night Lan’s mindset as an Extraordinary Star Holder was a good thing or a bad thing.
Night Lan would undoubtedly be the future pillar of the Night Watchers, the core presence, essentially the ultimate line of defense.
Such a person wasn’t just a mindless weapon; she wouldn’t blindly follow whatever she was told.
Night Lan had her own thoughts and considerations and would make her own judgments, making her quite suitable as a mascot in the management layer.
“Why don’t you discuss this with the Leader? You’re an Extraordinary Star Holder, and your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. I can’t manage you, nor can I instill anything in you.”
The Leader didn’t correct Night Lan’s bizarre ideas.
“If you want to befriend the Rising Sun Theater Group, that’s your business, but keep a clear head. If you can ignore the threats posed by them, then guard this city well.”
“Uh… as long as I’m here, Pinghaishi won’t have any issues.”
“Good to hear, I feel much more at ease with you around.”
Although it was a bit ridiculous to pin all hopes on a girl who looked like she hadn’t grown a hair on her head yet.
But she was an Extraordinary Star Holder who possessed miraculous powers and had showcased the unbelievable effects of the Stars.
Even the Leader had recognized her.
So what could the little city leader possibly doubt?
Thus, after hearing Night Lan’s promise, the Leader felt much more reassured.
Then her expression shifted, turning a bit gossipy.
The Leader was also a woman.
Having a curious mind was inevitable.
In fact, it wasn’t just her; the other two big guys were a bit curious too.
“I saw the Audience Performer shaking your hand before the Rising Sun Theater Group left. It seems you had a pleasant first meeting. What are you planning to develop from that?”
“Cute! I want to go solo!”
Night Lan said without hesitation.
The three of them immediately gasped.
Wasn’t she just completely charmed by the Audience Performer?
What if the only Extraordinary Star Holder of the Night Watchers got lured away by the Audience Performer of the Rising Sun Theater Group?
That would be catastrophic!
Just imagining that scenario sent chills down the Leader’s spine.
Although she didn’t understand why Night Lan loved hanging around with cute little girls so much, this couldn’t be overlooked.
Rumor had it that Night Lan referred to herself as a Loli-enthusiast who loved getting cozy with little Lolis.
And the Audience Performer was quite clearly a Loli herself.
So, it seemed only natural that Night Lan would be drawn to her.
And Night Lan had the Extraordinary Star but didn’t care about the other’s identity, even willing to make friends.
That couldn’t be ignored.
Though they didn’t know what the personality of that Audience Performer was like, anyone who could thrive in the Rising Sun Theater Group was certainly no pushover.
But looking at it from another angle.
Since the Audience Performer had the risk of luring Night Lan away,
Did Night Lan have the chance to lure the Audience Performer back?
The Leader deliberately cleared her throat, suddenly struck with an idea.
“Night Lan, we won’t stop you from contacting the Rising Sun Theater Group; do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t harm the order. However, if you become good friends with the Audience Performer, try to bring her to the Night Watcher Base for a visit.”
It’s true that the Night Watchers rejected the Eclipses,
But the Audience Performer wasn’t an Eclipse Embodiment.
She was a genuine human, just skilled at dealing with the Eclipses.
Wait a minute.
Not long ago, Night Lan had also showcased her ability to get along with Eclipses, sharing many commonalities with the Audience Performer.
The Leader scrutinized Night Lan closely.
Perhaps she was highly suited for interacting with the Audience Performer; they’d likely have plenty to chat about.
Or it could be that no one on the Night Watcher side was better suited to negotiate with the Audience Performer than Night Lan.
Upon hearing the Leader’s words, Night Lan blinked, her mind buzzing with ideas.
Surprisingly, the Leader was willing to let the Audience Performer come for a visit to the Night Watcher Base?!
That was pretty much in line with her thinking!
Originally, Night Lan had planned to superficially befriend Night Star and then try to convince the Night Watchers to let Night Star bring a few group members over for a visit, fostering friendship and all that.
Then Night Lan would take a few Night Watchers to visit the Rising Sun Theater.
In a way, it was suggesting they absolutely needed to stay in touch.
That way, the relationship could improve significantly.
Hmm.
Now it was time to act!
The progression with the Audience Performer couldn’t be too fast on the surface; otherwise, it would spell trouble if they caught on.
First, they had to hang out for a while.
That’s Night Lan’s specialty.
Isn’t it just about getting cozy together?
She did that all the time anyway; it wasn’t like it was a new thing.
“Um, I will do my best to bring the Audience Performer to visit the Night Watcher Base.”
“Then you go for it.”
The Leader beamed with pride.
What a well-behaved child!
Such a relief!
This is the hope of the Night Watchers!
Yet she definitely didn’t know.
The so-called hope of the Night Watchers was actually a double agent.
After that, Night Lan exited the conference room.
She’d guessed some attitudes from the Leader, but it was far from enough.
In the end, she still had to negotiate with the Leader of headquarters.
His attitude was the most crucial!
Night fell.
Now the lounge was occupied only by Night Lan.
She was preparing to contact the Leader!
This was a critical moment, and Night Lan was very nervous!
“Gululu~”
Night Lan couldn’t help but swallow hard, initiating a video call with the Leader.
Now she had the authority to contact the Night Watcher Leader directly.
Even if she occasionally harassed him with messages, that was okay.
But right now, Night Lan had something incredibly important to tell the Leader.
It was about what she wanted to do going forward.
If they couldn’t reach a consensus, then Night Lan might have to raise the flag and rebel.
Hmm.
If all else fails, she could wish for it with the Wish Princess.
As Night Lan pondered over these random thoughts, the video call finally connected.
A screen popped up before her, revealing the figure of Leader Ling Feng.
“What’s up tonight? It can’t just be small talk, right?”
Night Lan exhaled, her expression becoming a bit serious.
“Leader, actually, I want to tell you something very important. I hope you won’t be too surprised after you hear it.”
The Leader immediately perked up with interest.
“Go ahead, I’ve received professional training; I can stay calm no matter what.”
“Actually… I have a close connection with the Rising Sun Theater Group!”
