As the evening fell, everyone gradually took their leave.
Excited, Cai Shen followed Zheng Cheng to his home.
"Cai Shen, can you call Chen Xiao and Ping'an and ask them to come over?"
"Sure."
"By the way, aren't you going home?"
"Not necessary!" Cai Shen said, "My mom is especially happy since I joined the Night Watch. She gave me a lot of money."
"I told her that I have a mission today, so I can go home later."
"Quite open-minded of your mother…"
Zheng Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled: "What about your dad?"
"He's at home. Mum had him take care of all the business at home. You can't imagine his airs."
"Brother Cheng, why do you ask?"
"Nothing."
Chatting casually, they soon heard a knock on the door. It was Chen Xiao.
"Brother Cheng!"
"Cai Shen!"
"Brother Xiao!"
"Come on in!"
"Where's Chen Ping'an?" Zheng Cheng asked doubtfully. "Didn't he come with you?"
"No," Chen Xiao shook his head. "He went to the Professionist's Guild for the junior pharmacist assessment."
