The students rejoiced at an activity like this just as they started school, cheering and squealing right after Mr. Chu’s announcement.
The classes next door thought that something impressive had happened when they heard Yun Jian’s class screaming.
“Alright, alright, calm down, class—because I’m even more excited than you all are.” Mr. Chu, as a male teacher, loved cracking jokes.
The class laughed hearing what he said.
“Right, other than selling the delicacies you make during the food festival, you can go to the stalls of other classes and buy what they make too. Remember one thing, though, that’s to be safe!” Mr. Chu told the class and returned to the office.
The food festival was on September 12th and Qin Yirou’s birthday fell on September 13th. September 13th last year was also the day of Yun Jian’s rebirth.
Counting the time, it had almost been a year since she was rebirthed to this body. Yun Jian felt emotional for no reason. This year was the easiest year in her life as a secret agent. Her long lashes fluttered at the thought.
Yun Jian planned to go back to Longmen City to celebrate Qin Yirou’s birthday on the next day of the food festival, which was September 13th. She had also asked Ge Junjian to come along. Of course, Qin Yirou had no idea about it since Yun Jian had planned it as a surprise for her.
Yun Jian could forgo celebrating her own birthday but she thought that she wanted to celebrate each of Qin Yirou’s!
…
September 12th arrived in a blink of eyes. The students in Min City Military School did not have classes early this morning as the morning was spared for them to prepare the food they would sell during the food festival.
The students were good with their hands as they made delicious and appetizing food. Some of the food were drool worthy with just one glance.
The food festival officially began at 10am. The start of it also meant that the students could begin selling the food they had prepared.
There was an assortment of cakes, spicy hot pot skewers, sushi, drinks… Yun Jian had bought and ate plenty as Lin Yuan and Mu Ying tugged her around.
Right now, she held a big burger and asked Mu Ying as she ate, “Is Berserk Dragon still in Min City?”
The question caused Mu Ying who was drinking to choke and her cheeks were immediately dusted pink. “He’s still here.”
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded.
“Hey, Yun Jian!” It was then Yun Jian saw her new roommates, Ning Caidie, Meng Xiaolian and Han Nina who were selling cakes waving at her.
She knew that all three of them as well as Cheng Jiaojie were in Freshman Class (11). It was just that the three of them did not hang out with Cheng Jiaojie. The latter was sitting nearby as she fiddled with her phone with a scoff.
Ning Caidie pushed a piece of cake to Yun Jian when the latter came over. “Here, I made this with Xiaolian. Free for you! It’s delicious, heh!”
Yun Jian accepted it without playing courteous.
Just as she accepted it, she saw a military helicopter coming to a hasty stop on the field at the other end of the food festival. The venue of the food festival was just around the field.
Yun Jian felt her eye twitch slightly when she saw the military helicopter before she saw Yu Shaoluo running over. The man did not look happy when his eyes met Yun Jian’s.
“Yun Jian!” Yu Shaoluo’s expression was frighteningly solemn as he ran over. He looked unprecedentedly anxious.
“Yun Jian, listen, calm down… Your dad… He represented Country Z and worked with a team of Interpol to catch the European black market boss yesterday and… he didn’t come back…”
“According to those who managed to escape, he’s gotten caught! It’s possible that he’s already…”
Yun Jian’s father was naturally referring to Ge Junjian. There was a sob in Yu Shaoluo’s voice as he spoke.
The other students were shocked to hear what he said.
The students of the military school were new to this and thought that something like what Yu Shaoluo had just spoken of was faraway and to be proud of. When they knew that Yun Jian’s father was possibly sacrificed because of it, though, those who stood around Yun Jian could not help looking at her in sympathy.
They had thought that Yun Jian would start shrieking hysterically at the news like regular girls, “No! No! Nothing will happen to my dad!”
However, Yun Jian was calm and composed upon hearing it. She looked at Yu Shaoluo and told him coolly, “The European black market boss, is it? Take me there right now.”
Yu Shaoluo thought that she had lost her mind hearing what she said. Yun Jian was great—she was Team Monarch’s Slashing God, but she was only a child! Could she fight the European mafia alone no matter how good she was?
“Yun Jian, calm down. Listen to me, we’ll do our best to save your dad, you—”
Before Yu Shaoluo could finish his sentence, Yun Jian interrupted him right before all the other students, “The European mafia boss, it’s the old man, Glenn, isn’t it? I’ll make sure his European black market cease to exist in history if he dares lay a finger on my dad!”
