Chapter 129: Entering The Chariot
Hearing his words, Lain quickly typed Hui Shi’s contact information into the keyboard located at the bottom of the screen before clicking connect again. Soon after, a chime-like sound could be heard coming from Hui Shi’s plaque. After the sound was heard, Hui Shi quickly pressed a few buttons on his screen before he closed the screen in front of him.
He then said to Lain, “You can close the screen by stating close my contact information screen.” Hearing his words, Lain quickly renamed Hui Shi’s contact information that appeared directly below Annette’s, before closing the holographic screen in front of him with a verbal command.
“Well, it’s time I head out. Thanks brothers for letting me tag along. I’ll let myself out now, in order to get some rest. Let’s meet outside two hours before noon tomorrow, so we can be at the recruitment office on time.” Annette said wearily, after making the holographic screen in front of her disappear. It seemed the feeling of tiredness had begun to wash over her mind. She’s had a busy day, and the information about the Fang Clan seemed to be taking a toll on her.
“Enjoy your night’s rest, sister Annette. I’ll also be heading into the first bedroom now. Thanks brother Lain, for lending me the room for the night.” Hui Shi replied with a smile. He and Annette then shook Lain’s hand before they both left the kitchen towards their desired destinations.
“You’re welcome. Enjoy your night’s rest” Lain replied to them slowly, as he watched them leave, while standing in the kitchen. He reasoned to himself while standing there that the day had been an eye opener for him, so a few hours of rest would definitely help refresh his mind that was filled with questions, and wonder.
After they disappeared from his view, he quickly said out loud, “Close the holographic screen in front of me.” To the key in his hand, which then caused the screen in front of him to disappear. He then entered the bedroom next to the kitchen, laid down on the bed and closed his eyes, with the key placed on the bed next to him.
More than seven hours later, Annette, Lain and Hui Shi could be seen standing by the front of Annette’s carriage exchanging greetings. After exchanging greetings, Annette said to Lain and Hui Shi with a bright and charming smile. “Well, let’s get going. I’ll take you brothers there on my chariot.” Before walking to the side of her carriage and opening the door. Lain could tell from her smile that the rest she received from the night truly helped clear her mind of the troubles that occurred the day before.
“Thank you.” Both Hui Shi, and Lain replied to her. Hui Shi then followed her into her carriage. While Lain stayed behind for a few seconds to enjoy the fresh morning breeze and the view of the beautiful large tree-like grasses around him that cleared his mind of the extreme sadness that he had unknowingly felt last night, before following Hui Shi into the carriage.
