Chapter 362 - 360: Changing Faces
"Mo Shaoyun, you said the expert, why hasn’t he arrived yet? Did he get lost?"
Hao Jian was a bit anxious. This was a perfect opportunity; Chen Tianlong was now outside Nanhai City, so even if something happened, he wouldn’t be protected by the Lin Family or the police.
"Relax, he’s from the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall and has quite an ego. We should patiently wait." Mo Shaoyun was also a bit helpless, but the guy was an expert with a reason to be arrogant.
They were only responsible for following; dealing with Chen Tianlong would depend on Shangguan Wei.
After muttering to each other for a while, they started enjoying the flowers again.
Another end of Huacheng.
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting had been enjoying the view for nearly an hour, and the memory on their phones was almost full. Wu Mengting almost took a photo every step, so how could it not fill up?
However, seeing her so happy, Chen Tianlong felt delighted.
For a man, the greatest happiness is nothing more than making his woman live happily, and evidently, he achieved that at this moment.
"Oh, the game zone?"
As they walked, they found a dedicated entrance to a small square in a corner of Huacheng that seemed to be a place for cooling off. It wasn’t very spacious, but it counted as a small plaza.
There were many people here. Although it wasn’t packed, it was bustling.
"Magic show today, everyone come and see the year’s top magician perform. It’s truly spectacular!"
Suddenly, a shout came from a small open area, where dozens of people had already gathered around.
Now, with his shout, it was instantly crowded with people.
However, Chen Tianlong didn’t particularly like such crowds and planned to bypass and move ahead.
At this moment, Wu Mengting suddenly grabbed Chen Tianlong and curiously said, "Chen Tianlong, it looks like there’s a magic show. Let’s go take a look!"
Girls find magic alluring, as it inexplicably conjures up many things like flowers and gifts, similar to fairy tales.
But with Chen Tianlong’s extensive experiences, he’d long seen through such petty tricks from the martial world.
Magic!
To put it plainly, it’s about using speed to deceive your eyes, and given Chen Tianlong’s speed, could those magicians deceive him?
That would be odd.
"Alright."
Wu Mengting wanted to watch, and Chen Tianlong dared not refuse. After all, this outing was meant to cheer up Wu Mengting, so he went along with whatever she wanted.
Hand in hand, the two approached. Chen Tianlong wasn’t particularly kind, as Wu Mengting wanted to watch the performance, he naturally pushed through the crowd to get inside.
Those pushed aside by Chen Tianlong were initially somewhat angry, but upon seeing his sharp gaze, they automatically stepped aside.
Chen Tianlong, when not smiling, was very cold—so cold that a stranger would shiver upon a glimpse, especially when he deliberately revealed his cold killing intent, causing undue fear in others.
This was a killer’s aura.
Walking ahead, Wu Mengting naturally couldn’t see his expression and innocently thought people kindly opened up for them.
Soon, they were at the front row where Wu Mengting could see the magician closely, a young man.
He seemed a couple of years older than them, around twenty-something.
"Audience, please watch closely. I will perform a magic show for you." The young man said with a smile, then stepped into a small barrier, emerging a moment later with a mask on.
As for what was inside that small barrier, almost no one knew.
This place was adjacent to a small hill, with the barrier beside it. Everyone was gathered in a semicircle, excitedly watching.
"Next, I’ll perform face-changing for everyone. I hope you enjoy it."
"Wow, face-changing, I love that."
At this moment, suddenly a female voice appeared behind Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong, followed by a hand pushing forward, intending to separate Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong, then squeeze in between them.
In the next moment, Guo Jingjing realized no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t move the guy.
So, she began pushing towards Wu Mengting.
Wu Mengting, holding Chen Tianlong’s hand, was suddenly squeezed from the middle, furrowing her brows and turning to look, both of them were instantly stunned.
"Why, it’s you!"
"Oh, why can’t it be me?"
Wu Mengting had seen this girl before; wasn’t she the one they met at the school cafeteria the other time, the wicked girl?
"Hmph, truly enemies on a narrow road!"
Guo Jingjing obviously felt some hostility towards Wu Mengting, having heard she was Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend and close friends with Lin Wushuang, which angered her.
"Hehe!"
After a cold laugh, Wu Mengting continued watching the show as if nothing happened.
Yet, precisely this cold laugh infuriated Guo Jingjing.
"Wu Mengting, what’s the meaning of this?"
Guo Jingjing’s voice wasn’t loud, but it certainly alerted those nearby that an argument was about to break out.
Certainly, Chen Tianlong heard as well. Regardless of who, anyone opposing Wu Mengting was against him. At this moment, Chen Tianlong was clearly angry too, turning around and swiftly understanding the situation.
"Guo Jingjing, what are you trying to do?"
Chen Tianlong said coldly.
At this moment, Situ Nan was already stunned; wasn’t this Chen Tianlong, oh my, about to mess things up again.
"Situ Nan, they’re bullying me, you handle it!"
Guo Jingjing knew she wasn’t Chen Tianlong’s match, but didn’t Situ Nan say in the car how he’d deal with Chen Tianlong next time?
Now was his chance to shine.
At this moment, Situ Nan wished to find a hole to hide in; today truly seemed unlucky, should have checked the almanac before coming out; now everywhere was blocked.
Chen Tianlong could make the school’s four Crazy Young Masters obediently submit, asking him to confront Chen Tianlong was simply seeking death.
Though his bodyguard was fierce, reportedly an Ancient Martial Cultivator hired by his father at a high price, a distant relative specifically there to protect him.
However, what Chen Tianlong’s actual skills were, he didn’t know.
"Jingjing, there are many people here; could we discuss later?"
Situ Nan, upon feeling Chen Tianlong’s sharp gaze, felt that familiar sadness again, not daring to utter a single harsh word.
"You coward, what did you say in the car? Dare you repeat it in front of Chen Tianlong?" Guo Jingjing was exceedingly angry; Situ Nan was the most soft-spined man she’d ever seen.
"What’s there to dare, but... Watching the show is more important now!" Situ Nan’s first sentence was forceful, but the second left Guo Jingjing speechless.
Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly, but he couldn’t let such a minor issue affect Wu Mengting’s mood.
"I don’t want trouble, and please don’t trouble me."
After speaking, Chen Tianlong turned back, continuing to accompany Wu Mengting watching the performance.
"Coward!"
Guo Jingjing was about to explode; Situ Nan, this guy, had absolutely no backbone. If it weren’t for coming here in his car, she would truly walk away.
