25 Pillar of the Country 4 (1/2)
Days have passed since their last meeting.
Xi Sheng integrated herself in the temple quite well.
There are nearly a hundred people living in the temple. Half of them are the people she interacted within the daylight and half of it in the night time.
All of the residents in the temple are named Xi. Though, Xi Sheng isn't entirely sure whether it was the old man who named all of them or his ancestors. However, there's one thing that she is confident about, that old man as the royal advisor is no joke. His life force is way too huge!
From days living in the temple, she also gathered some information. The people living in the day are called Sol Keepers, while people in the twilight are called Night Runners.
Xi Lan, for example, belongs to the Sol Keepers. His main duty is to protect the temple or do some errands.
Night Runners, as the name suggests, it is for shady purposes. She's not sure what they do, but it's definitely not good.
Xi Sheng blurted out:”Open windows.”
A transparent window appeared before her.

Xi Sheng stumbled upon this piece of information. The details weren't hers, but from the body she possesses currently.
She only has some vague understanding of the temperament, skills, and quirk.
”Awooo...”
The tiny cub in her arms scratches the transparent window.
Although shock that the cub could see it, it gave an even more surprise to Xi Sheng because the cub could actually touch it!
Xi Sheng had a suspicion. While the cub continues to scratch the window, Xi Sheng gulps and pats the wolf's head. Her eyes glistening with hope.
”System Eight?”
However, the cub didn't react.
Sensing some abnormality coming from its owner, the black wolf cub tilted its head:
”Awoo?”
Xi Sheng's expectation was quickly extinguished.
Nevertheless, Xi Sheng kisses its forehead while thinking:'How disappointing...'
The cub licks Xi Sheng in return.
