Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 368: The Girl Approaching Nian Jian

Actually, Hua Zhuo had a vague premonition these past few days.

Because she always felt there were movements in Wen Jiang’s room.

But she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.

So when she saw Wen Jiang really at home, Hua Zhuo was so shocked.

"You..."

Shouldn’t you be at the competition venue?

But Hua Zhuo felt that she was asking a pointless question.

Helena’s identity was still abroad participating in a competition, so seeing Wen Jiang at the Jimo Family home didn’t seem that shocking anymore.

"Came back for something," Wen Jiang smiled, "Did you sense I was at home?"

Hua Zhuo hesitantly nodded, "It’s not that I sensed your presence, just a kind of premonition..."

Probably stemming from an intuition.

Not related to spiritual power.

"Then your intuition is certainly accurate."

Even knowing Wen Jiang’s strength negated any need for worry, Hua Zhuo couldn’t help but ask, "Doesn’t this affect the competition?"

"Why would it?"

Hua Zhuo sighed lightly, "But I really have something to ask you."

Wen Jiang nodded, "Go ahead."

"Didn’t you send that girl named Nian Jian to the Card Factory? My people say a girl with some identity issues has been approaching her recently."

Wen Jiang squinted, "Nian Jian?"

Nian Jian staying at the Jimo Family seemed pointless back then, so she discussed with Wen Jiang and then went to the Card Factory under Jimo’s name as a Card Illustrator.

Although she hadn’t contacted Wen Jiang much, he knew she should be quite happy outside.

She hadn’t interacted with others for years, and now living like a normal person, she must feel comfortable.

Hua Zhuo nodded, "I can’t find any real information about that girl, so I thought I’d let you know."

Nian Jian was the girl Wen Jiang brought back, Hua Zhuo knew that too.

Her intuition was that this girl must hold some special significance for Wen Jiang.

But she didn’t know what kind of significance.

Also, this girl...

Could be due to trauma aftereffects.

That name always reminded her of someone she shouldn’t think about.

But she felt she was just overly sensitive.

Sure enough, Wen Jiang said, "Let me see the girl’s information?"

Fortunately, Hua Zhuo was prepared, "Then follow me."

Entering Hua Zhuo’s study, she turned the computer towards Wen Jiang to show him the girl’s information.

"She recently applied as an illustrator too. Our factory has been keenly hiring, and I know many people come to fish in troubled waters, so I investigate everyone’s background and history. Except for this girl, her information is overly detailed compared to others."

Details of her life traces nearly spanned the entire Imperial City.

She seemed like a local of Imperial City, but compared to others, her activity tracks had meaningless blanks.

This girl seemed to try hard to prove she had no issues with every detail.

Too detailed sometimes also means fabrication.

This girl was named Yun Ji, but people around called her A Ji.

She appeared innocent and lively.

Hua Zhuo was even ready with a video.

Wen Jiang glanced over; everything seemed fine on the surface.

But if it was, Hua Zhuo wouldn’t have explicitly told him.

Wen Jiang pondered, "I’ll go have a look."

Hua Zhuo’s heart skipped a beat, "You’re in a competition now; appearing in the factory would be hard to explain."

"Of course, I won’t really show up; just give me an identity. I’ll use a card to transform into someone else for inspection."

Hua Zhuo understood, "Alright."

It seemed Wen Jiang’s cards indeed had the ability to transform into others.

But she didn’t know, Wen Jiang deliberately said so.

Wen Jiang not only got information from Hua Zhuo but also asked Zero Egg to investigate Nian Jian’s recent whereabouts.

Zero Egg reported: [Lately, she’s been quite close to Nian Jian.]

With dawn already here, Hua Zhuo arranged a manager’s identity from the Card Factory where Nian Jian was for Wen Jiang.

Wen Jiang transformed into that person’s appearance and went to the factory site.

-

Nian Jian was in her dorm, drawing the design for the next season’s Liao Zhai card skins.

The peripheral she was drawing was only to be sold as card skins.

Though the price wasn’t high, it had to maintain Mount Flower’s standard of precision.

So Nian Jian was quite serious.

Her skill wasn’t top-notch, but having pushed Wen Jiang to let her come here, she had to give her best.

"A Jian, still drawing?"

At the dorm entrance, a girl in a strap dress walked in carrying a bag of fruits.

"I bought some apples; remember to eat them when you’re tired."

Nian Jian looked up, a delicately beautiful smile gracing her face, "Sure, A Ji, did you go out again today?"

"Yes, work was done, so wasn’t it boring? I’m not as diligent as you."

A Ji sat over, watching Nian Jian draw new character skins, unable to resist praising, "A Jian, you’re quite talented in this area." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Nian Jian shook her head, "What I draw is quite average."

A Ji nodded thoughtfully, then abruptly changed the topic, "By the way, have you ever thought of going abroad for a trip?"

Nian Jian’s smile suddenly paused.

Her hand holding the brush paused momentarily before quickly continuing, saying, "No, why do you ask?"

She couldn’t possibly go abroad.

Not to mention, abroad was a nightmare in the first place.

She felt Wen Jiang would never let her leave Yunxia.

"Why not?" A Ji looked at her surprisingly, "After this quarter’s task, our factory has a couple of weeks’ holiday. Let’s go abroad! Sanctuary or Frost Moon, I’m up for travel, never been abroad, accompany me..."

Feeling the coquettish tone from A Ji, Nian Jian, although a bit embarrassed, still said, "You go ahead, I have no interest in going abroad, nor do I want to. During holidays, I plan to go home."

"Home?"

Yun Ji leaned forward curiously, resting her chin on her arms on the table, "I’ve never heard you mention your family, where is it?"

Nian Jian merely smiled, "In Imperial City, but there’s usually no one at home."

"No one, isn’t it even more boring? Going on a trip would be great!"

Yun Ji smiled at Nian Jian, her tone suddenly becoming gentle, "The outside world is beautiful, let’s go see it..."

Nian Jian looked at Yun Ji, wanting to refuse.

Yet hearing Yun Ji’s words, she suddenly felt her head dizzy.

Yun Ji’s voice seemed to penetrate straight into her soul, "Go, A Jian, occasionally go out, see how wonderful the world is."

Nian Jian’s head spun hazily, "Hmm, then... okay..."

"Nian Jian?"

A sudden, cold voice interrupted the dorm room conversation.

Yun Ji’s face turned pale instantly.

Nian Jian woke up with a start.

They turned their heads; at the dorm entrance, a figure stood there.

It was a manager from the Card Factory.

Yun Ji’s expression changed.

Just an ordinary A-Level manager, but just interrupted her spiritual power...
