Chapter 579 - 578: Threat
"Mengting, stop laughing. Last time I came back, my car was towed by the traffic police." Speaking of that incident, Chen Tianlong felt quite embarrassed.
"Haha, really? That’s hilarious." Wu Mengting couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Sweat, you have to get used to it. This is a remote area. The villagers heard BMW and thought it was a shady car, so they called the police to tow it away." Chen Tianlong laughed bitterly!
"What are you saying? It’s not much better where we are." Wu Mengting realized Chen Tianlong misunderstood, so she quickly explained.
Chen Tianlong smiled, holding Wu Mengting’s hand. The two of them, each carrying gifts, walked towards the village.
Soon, Chen Tianlong arrived at Old Chen’s house. Chen Tian was inside, cooking lunch, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside. He calmly walked out to take a look, and his brows furrowed at once.
Chen Tianlong was back, but who was the girl behind him? This girl didn’t seem to be Shen Yan from before, but someone else entirely.
Chen Tian carefully observed the girl and immediately thought she was extraordinarily beautiful. He quietly praised Chen Tianlong, marveling at how quickly he changed girlfriends, each prettier than the last.
"Bro, you’re back!"
Mo Jing walked out from the hall, just in time to see Chen Tianlong at the door. But when she saw Wu Mengting behind him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Sister-in-law Mengting, you’re here too."
"Haha, Mo Jing, long time no see." Wu Mengting saw a familiar face and immediately smiled broadly, walking over.
"Sister-in-law Mengting, it’s so great that you’re here. Come quickly to see Old Chen." Mo Jing said, pulling Wu Mengting’s hand towards the kitchen, but after taking two steps, they saw Chen Tian walking out.
"Old Chen, this is my sister-in-law, my brother’s official girlfriend." Mo Jing quickly introduced her, adding the word ’official’ in front.
Chen Tian was a smart man. Hearing Mo Jing’s words, he seemed to detect something odd, quickly smiling and said, "So you’re Tianlong’s girlfriend? Welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Chen, I’m Wu Mengting, Happy New Year." Wu Mengting, seeing the family for the first time, blushed slightly and politely said.
"Haha, hello, Mengting, Happy New Year. No need to be too courteous at home, we’re all family, be at ease." Chen Tian obviously liked Wu Mengting very much; she seemed gentle and caring, a virtuous wife and mother type. Compared to Shen Yan, Chen Tian preferred Wu Mengting.
"Mm-hmm..."
Wu Mengting nodded repeatedly, seemingly a little shy, since it was her first time meeting Chen Tianlong’s family.
"Sister-in-law Mengting, no need to be shy, just treat it like your own home. Old Chen is very kind," Mo Jing said, noticing Wu Mengting was a bit nervous, and instantly comforted her.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong also walked over. Facing Old Chen’s gaze, he felt a bit awkward. After all, he had previously brought Shen Yan home, calling her his girlfriend, and now he brought the ’official’ girlfriend, feeling like he was deceiving them.
"Chen Tianlong, come with me to the room for a bit," Chen Tian said with no expression on his face, but Chen Tianlong knew he was about to be questioned.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the room, Chen Tian’s face turned stern: "Chen Tianlong, you’ve grown up, your wings have hardened, huh? How dare you fool me, which one is actually your girlfriend?"
"Both are, oh no, the one just now is real, the other one was pretending, but not to pretend for my family, it was to pretend for hers. I had promised her, and then..."
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Tian wasn’t someone set in his ways. Chen Tianlong must have his reasons for doing this, so he said, "This one is the real girlfriend, right? Don’t make me waste more expressions."
"Yeah, she’s definitely real. I’ve already proposed," Chen Tianlong grinned as he spoke.
"Wow, you little rascal, you really did it, huh... So, when do you plan to get married?" Hearing the first part from Chen Tian, Chen Tianlong thought he was going to be scolded but was surprised by the latter part.
"I’m currently a high school student; my shining life has just begun. How could I be bound by marriage so early?" Chen Tianlong smiled proudly and said, "But don’t worry. Wu Mengting is my future wife, that’s for sure."
"Alright, just don’t let her slip away." Chen Tian was relieved upon confirming Chen Tianlong’s marriage plans.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong remembered something and suddenly asked, "Old Chen, do you know who Chen Feng is?"
"Hiss..."
Hearing this name, Chen Tian took a deep breath, his expression changing slightly, and then he very seriously asked, "Who told you this name?"
"Oh, at a villa, an old man asked me. He said my technique with throwing knives looked a lot like Chen Feng’s and asked if I knew him." Chen Tianlong explained truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian furrowed his brows and then said, "Alright, there’s no one by that name in our Chen Family. Your father is Chen Kang, and your grandfather is Chen Yuan. As for your uncles, you should know them."
"Hmm, alright then." Chen Tianlong was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something else and asked, "By the way, Old Chen, I have one more thing to ask you."
"Geez, why do you have so many questions? Quick, speak out or fart, your wife is still outside," Chen Tian rolled his eyes at Chen Tianlong impatiently.
"Hehe, don’t rush, this is definitely the last one." Chen Tianlong didn’t waste time and asked directly, "Back then you taught me a passage of a mantra, saying it was from my dad, but I always felt it was incomplete, do you know if there’s more?"
"Mantra?" Chen Tian was taken aback. He only taught Chen Tianlong one kind, could it be... the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique?
"Tianlong, recite the mantra for me to hear!"
"Oh, okay... Qi sinking into the Dantian, concentrated at the fingertips, charge...."
"Stop! I see, it’s the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique." Chen Tian had practiced this with his brother before, but his physique wasn’t suitable for cultivating this Heart Method, so he stopped. Chen Kang, however, was a master of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
"The Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? So the Heart Method I’ve been learning is really called the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? I heard Master Ye Feng mention it before, but I thought he was tricking me, and I haven’t made any progress since." Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly, realizing the Heart Method he’d been practicing for over a decade only now had its name confirmed.
"Yes, that’s right. It’s a very good Heart Method." Chen Tian didn’t want to elaborate, fearing he might slip up and letting Chen Tianlong press further.
"Oh? So Old Chen, do you know if there are other parts of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? I’d really like to continue learning." Chen Tianlong seemed to notice Old Chen was hiding something and purposely asked.
Sure enough, Chen Tian heard this and deliberately shook his head. He was afraid that if Chen Tianlong kept asking, no secrets would remain.
"You’re closest with your dad, aren’t you? Maybe he hid the Heart Method somewhere and told you long ago." Chen Tian hinted and then impatiently said, "Alright, I need to go entertain the guests, no more chitchat with you."
