Chapter 2925 - 1387: Easy Work_2

"Don’t worry, even if I forget everything, I won’t forget this."

Motan smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "In fact, the reason I’ve been busy these past two days is to free up more time for tomorrow."

Badminton brightened up with a smile, happily rolled twice on Motan’s bed: "That’s right, it’s a pity that Ya Ya and Jadka have no intention of going together, and that nice Wealth Saintess is busy, otherwise it would be even livelier. I really love lively atmospheres."

"Ah, Lady Fyari, I remember she was a formal member of the delegation..."

Motan furrowed his brow, rather curious, and asked Ji Xiaoge, who had been in contact with Yu Chen and the others, "Is it because there’s a meeting tomorrow?"

The latter shook her head with a smile: "I heard the last phase of the meeting officially starts the day after tomorrow, where all official delegation members must attend. There doesn’t seem to be anything scheduled for tomorrow, but many factions seem to be discussing the final topics independently. That’s what I heard from Master Guna and the others, anyway, Craftsman Town isn’t getting involved."

Motan nodded and didn’t say much more, casually changing the topic: "What have you been busy with these past two days?"

"Nothing much, just lazing around, playing with Scarlett and Ya Ya during the day, and tinkering with equipment with Master Guna at night, sometimes trying out new dishes."

Badminton gleefully swayed back and forth, speaking restlessly: "I was in the room studying blueprints earlier, feeling a bit restless and decided to fly out for some air. I happened to see you dawdling by the window and decided to stop by for a chat."

"I wouldn’t call it dawdling..."

Motan shook his head, then suddenly turned serious, saying to Ji Xiaoge: "Why don’t you go back and continue studying your blueprints? Don’t waste time here with me."

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and said: "What? Are you chasing me away?"

"Yeah."

Motan nodded naturally, saying in a stern tone, "That’s exactly what I mean."

Ji Xiaoge wasn’t having it, causing her to leap up and evolve from a badminton beast into an angel beast, jumping in front of Motan and pinching his cheeks: "Why are you pushing me away~!"

"You’re too attractive, it’s easy to make people distracted when alone together."

Motan remained unfazed, speaking succinctly: "I don’t want my friendship with you to change."

"Uh..."

To be honest, this straightforward comment left Ji Xiaoge speechless, standing there pinching Motan’s cheeks for a full half-minute before stomping her foot in frustration: "How can you speak so sharply! Would it kill you to beat around the bush a bit?"

Motan spread his arms with a chuckle, appearing rather helpless: "I can’t help it, you know my talents, I can’t lie."

"Well... Well, you also can’t... How annoying!"

Growing more irritated, Ji Xiaoge stretched out her hand to mess up Motan’s hair, put on her boots, and ran over to the window in a few steps. She turned back with a grimace and complained through gritted teeth: "So awkward!"

Motan just flashed a harmless smile without saying anything.

"Is being attractive my fault?"

"It is your fault."

"Uh!"

"Any problem?"

"Is being attractive my only quality that could change our friendship?"

"No, no, there are quite a few."

"Then why specifically mention being attractive?!"

"Because that trait has high lethality..."

"Trait... Trait... If you can’t speak nicely, then say less, you!"

Initially intending to leave, Ji Xiaoge finally couldn’t stand it anymore, making a sudden turnaround and rushing in front of Motan, then yanking off her goggles, clutching Motan’s collar, and then—

Bam! Delivered a headbutt.

Immediately, a crisp sound erupted between the two heads.

Motan fell directly to the ground, while Ji Xiaoge staggered back two steps before putting her goggles back on, leaping out of the window.

Her face a bit flushed.

...

After a while, untouched and without even feeling dizzy due to his hard head, Motan sighed, shook his head, got up from the ground, turned to glance at Ji Xiaoge’s disappeared window, and dryly chuckled twice.

He truly hadn’t lied.

Though his real motive wasn’t entirely due to fear of the friendship changing.

"I’ll still have to remind her not to remove headgear no matter the circumstance."

Forcing the charming face in his mind to leave, Motan muttered softly and then walked out of his room, finding Jadka in the lobby downstairs holding a copy of ’Advanced Magic Discussion,’ which Double Leaf had previously read through but discarded after only a few pages, claiming it was not worthy of her study. This contrasted sharply with the old mage who was diligently studying and seemingly struggling to understand.

Given Jadka’s keen and feverish sense of awareness, he almost instantly directed his gaze towards Motan upon his arrival in the lobby, raising his hand in greeting with a smile: "Finished your task?"

"Just busywork."

With no intention of hiding in front of Old Jia and Ya Ya, Motan nodded, sat across from the old mage: "Where’s Ya Ya?"

"Mor Wang!"

Soon after, with a joyful shout, Motan was knocked to the ground, together with his chair, by Ya Ya rushing in like a hundred-meter sprint.

"Still so energetic at this hour."

Gently scratching Ya Ya’s ear, Motan soothed the canine daughter lying on him while picking up the chair and placing Ya Ya on it; his face suddenly turned serious as he said, "Though it might be sudden, I have something to ask for your help."

Jadka and Ya Ya both paused, then quickly became serious themselves.

The old mage placed the spell book aside, sitting upright, nodding gently to Motan.

Ya Ya’s joyful eyes similarly became solemn, with her ears instinctively pinned to her head.

Clearly, neither had any plans to refuse, showing their readiness to tell Motan, just say ’how to help’ straightforwardly.

Motan sensed it clearly, so after giving a heartfelt look to his two companions, he solemnly began to speak—

"Firstly, I have a premise, which is that for this matter, I need you to keep it hidden from Night Song..."

"Well then, I’m off."

Jiawen donned the priest’s robe identical in appearance to Hei Fan’s except for attributes being vastly different, then instantly activated the [Thousand Faces] effect, transforming into a plain-looking goblin server, slightly nodding to the maiden in front of her: "Thank you for taking my place at the social engagement, Ah Qing."

"It’s not about any trouble or not; those women with no surplus value aren’t worth Miss having to entertain personally."

Ah Qing shook her head, giving Jiawen a flamboyant curtsey, and replied with a smile: "Rest assured, Ah Qing will handle things well. Being the client isn’t easy, but since it’s those old friends asking for your help, they naturally have no right to pick faults over hospitality. They’ll sign."

"Mm, once things are wrapped up, take a good rest; you’ve been keeping watch for me during this period, which has been quite stressful."

"Miss, playing the game is resting."

"Be obedient, you’ve had too much pressure lately."

"Miss has expended more energy, hasn’t she?"

"The same workload burdens different people differently."

"Ah... Bullying!"

"Haha, if you understand, go quickly, don’t let the ’guests’ get impatient."

"Yes, yes, Miss, take care in all matters~"

"Peace of mind, it’s a light task."
