Chapter 547: Apocalypse: The True Daughter of Wealth Turns to Ashes (18)

Shen Yan hadn’t expected Luo Ning to ask about this matter.

He said with a smile, "Ningning is still so clever; indeed, I had advanced some of my mission’s reward."

His joining of the mercenary troop had been merely a coincidence.

Fei Wenxi and the others valued his mechanical skills, and he wanted to leave his sister some money for her protection, so it was a perfect match.

But after two years together, he and several members of the team had become comrades in arms who could trust each other with their lives.

When the apocalypse suddenly struck, it was even less likely that they would disband.

Luo Ning felt deeply moved inside. This brother had given so much for her original self, even sacrificing his own life.

She could imagine that if it hadn’t been to leave her original self with money, he would not have joined such a dangerous mercenary troop.

"Brother, you’re really kind!" Luo Ning looked at Shen Yan with warm eyes.

This life, it was her turn to protect this kind brother.

Shen Yan said with a smile, "Silly girl, I’m your brother. If I don’t look after you, who will I look after?"

Back when their parents had died in an accident, if it hadn’t been for his sister’s companionship, he would have also found it difficult to emerge from the shadows.

Luo Ning asked again, "Brother, have you awakened any superpowers?"

She knew Shen Yan possessed metal-related and thunder and lightning superpowers.

However, the thunder and lightning superpower had emerged later.

Sure enough, Shen Yan replied smilingly, "I’ve awakened a metal superpower."

"My other teammates have gradually awakened their superpowers too," he added.

It was a rare chance for an entire team to consist of superpower users, and theirs was fortunate to be one.

He asked, "How about you?"

Without hesitation, Luo Ning said, "I can pretend to be a space superpower user."

Shen Yan looked at her somewhat perplexedly, "How can you pretend?"

He had never heard of someone pretending to be a superpower user.

Luo Ning did not hide anything and told Shen Yan about the pendant’s space.

"That jade pendant you gave me is amazing. It has a large space inside, along with a well."

She also mentioned how the pendant had been snatched by Luo Baomiao and how she claimed it back when she severed ties with the Luo Family.

It was by accident when she cut her finger and a drop of blood fell on the pendant, revealing its secret.

"Then I started collecting a lot of supplies to store in the space, and the water from that well is also extraordinary."

She talked about feeding the poultry and experimenting with planting as well.

The reason Luo Ning didn’t want to keep Shen Yan in the dark stemmed from trust as well.

A relative willing to die for you, coupled with Shen Yan’s personality, meant he would not betray her over the pendant.

Luo Ning was not testing human nature but felt it was necessary to share this secret with Shen Yan.

After all, he was the one who had given her the pendant, and since they were going to live together, how would she explain items taken from the space?

One lie often needed many more lies to support it.

Luo Ning didn’t want to deceive Shen Yan, who had been sincerely kind to her.

After hearing Luo Ning’s story, Shen Yan was quite shocked, but then he showed a smile, "That’s really wonderful."

"When I saw that pendant, I felt it suited you perfectly and couldn’t resist buying it for you."

"It means the pendant and you were fated. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have accidentally discovered this secret by spilling your blood on it."

It was good that her sister had gotten the pendant back from that fake rich girl; otherwise, it would have just benefited that hypocritical and annoying Luo Baomiao.

Her sister had actually shared such an important secret with her, and Shen Yan felt both touched and warmed by it.

He was genuinely happy for his sister for having such a treasure.

He couldn’t help but remind her, "Ningning, you can’t tell anyone else about this. The more people who know, the more danger you’re in, understand?"

So many people would be tempted and scheme for such a treasure, putting his sister in danger.

Luo Ning could see that her brother was truly happy for her and harbored no greed or intention to snatch it from her. She really did make the right gamble.

She nodded, "Of course, I only told brother."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Yeah, with this space, you could actually pose as a space superpower user."

"When the time comes, you just say you awakened your superpower when the apocalypse arrived, and there was a supermarket where you lived, which you rushed into to collect a lot of resources."

"That way, you’ll have a source for the items you take out."

He continued, "In our team, Fei Wenxi is also a space superpower user, and we keep all the resources we collect with him."

"Later, when we go to the Beishang Capital Base, let’s keep the resources we collect with him too, so they won’t get mixed up with what you’ve already collected."

If they were to live together, her sister’s "space superpower" would inevitably be exposed.

And since her sister had collected so many things, it was better not to mix them with the resources of the team.

Luo Ning found that her brother was indeed very careful, "I was thinking the same."

With collecting supplies, sometimes you can’t keep track of what’s more or less, so it’s better not to get involved from the start.

Although people like Fei Wenxi were trustworthy, the secrets of the space and well couldn’t be shared.

Shen Yan felt that his sister had matured a lot, so he asked, "I heard you left the Luo Family half a year ago. Where did you go?"

Luo Ning narrated her experiences over the past half-year, including the incident where she helped Mr. Qin’s grandfather with medical treatment.

When she was in elementary school, she had helped an elderly man who practiced traditional Chinese medicine.

Later, they often interacted, so when she said she learned medical skills and Feng Shui from that grandfather, it wouldn’t arouse her brother’s suspicion.

She also talked about killing zombies in the village.

Sure enough, Shen Yan didn’t suspect a thing; he just realized that his sister had really grown up during his absence.

"No wonder Qin Xinyue divorced Lu Cong before the apocalypse. Qin Xinyue took over quite a bit of Mr. Qin’s power, turns out you were also helping behind the scenes."

Besides being mercenaries, their main focus was also on collecting intelligence and such.

So they were quite familiar with the situation in the Capital City.

Luo Ning was somewhat surprised, "Qin Xinyue just divorced Lu Cong? Is Lu Cong still alive?"

Shen Yan replied, "He’s alive. Only after their divorce did everyone learn that Lu Cong was the lost child of the Qi Family in the Capital City."

"After the divorce, he was immediately taken back by the Qi Family."

"Although the Qi Family is slightly weaker than the Qin Family, they’re still a top-notch wealthy family and currently hold a position in the Kyoto Base."

Luo Ning then understood that Lu Cong must have been a pawn laid out by the Qi Family against the Qin Family from the very beginning.

No wonder that after the old man’s death, Lu Cong was quickly able to take control of the Qin Family—definitely with the assistance of the Qi Family.

In Luo Ning’s memory, the second son of the Luo Family married the daughter of the Qi Family, and the Qi Family had a young master who fancied Luo Baomiao.

And in that life, Lu Cong’s identity was never exposed. Looking at it now, the Qin Family was probably controlled by the Qi Family all along, and the Luo Family must have known.

Shen Yan added, "It’s good that you’ve kept in touch with Qin Xinyue. The Qin Family has a strong influence in the Kyoto Base. When you go to the base, you can go and see her."

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"

With Mi Yan and the others’ vehicle paving the way, Luo Ning and Shen Yan didn’t get out, and about an hour later, they arrived at the destination of the mission.
