113th Break: Monitor

Meng Xing's lips curled up when he saw the confidence on Ke Lin's face. But, he didn't say anything else and just picked up his cup which Qiu Si filled with tea.

"What made you feel sure that we will tell you?" Qiu Si asked. He was also surprised of Ke Lin's confidence.

Ke Lin turned to look at him. "Because we are the same kind of people." He answered.

Meng Xing and Qiu Si didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying it. If they were still in the imperial capital, then they could easily find out Ke Lin's information through Huichen. Unfortunately, they are currently in the Closed City where the security is airtight. Even if they have Qiu Ershi who is a spy insider helping them, but Meng Xing and Qiu Si know that they can't easily call the wind and summon the rain* (to exert authority) here since first and foremost, this isn't their turf. And second, they have to be cautious with their actions. For one wrong step could lead to their early death.
