"Ah Zhuang!"
Lin Xian greeted him enthusiastically.
Ah Zhuang, who was shorter than Lin Xian but muscular, shifted his gaze from the sky and sized up Lin Xian:
"Who are you?"
"That's not important." Lin Xian smiled and patted his shoulder, not feeling out of place despite the numerous encounters:
"Where's Brother Lian? Where is he?"
When Ah Zhuang heard the name Brother Lian come from Lin Xian's mouth... his expression eased a lot.
Looking at Lin Xian's confident and familiar demeanor, Ah Zhuang assumed that he must be a friend of Brother Lian and let down his guard, pointing at the hot air balloon that had already risen hundreds of meters into the air:
"You're late, Brother Lian has already taken off."
???
Lin Xian incredulously tilted his head, looking up at the rapidly ascending hot air balloon:
"The person in the spacesuit up there is Brother Lian? Big Face Cat?"
"Ah, who else?"
"Is he heading for Rhine Sky City?"
"Of course."
