A Momentary Slip of the Tongue
Editor: Atlas Studios
Ling Sheng was overjoyed. Isn't this the diary she had seen when she saw Dongfang Chu? She was a little excited as she pointed at it and asked, "Didn't you say there isn't such a thing? What's that?"
Dongfang Meng was also taken aback. She had seen this diary before—it was her sister's—and was very familiar with it. Hadn't it been burned along with her other belongings long ago? Why would it appear here?
Ling Sheng bent down to pick up the diary.
Dongfang Meng beat her to it and entered the password with a pair of trembling hands. Then, they watched as the diary actually unlocked.
Initially, Ling Sheng had still been wondering what excuse she would use to explain how she knew the password later or where she got the skill to open a book that was locked with a password. She had not expected Dongfang Meng to open it directly, but it saved her the trouble.
