Chapter 605 - 603: Heading to Yunfu
After explaining everything, Chen Tianlong called Old Chen and said he was planning to go to Yunfu. Old Chen only told him to be safe and not to have too much fun before hanging up.
As for his girlfriend Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong naturally had to call to tell her his plans. To prevent her from worrying, he simply said he was going to Yunfu to gather herbs, without revealing the real reason behind his trip was to save people.
Soon, Zhao Bing had made the arrangements, and Xiaoliang’s car was parked at the gates of the Chen Family Mansion. After saying goodbye to the two women, Chen Tianlong got into the car and quickly headed to the airport.
He had been to this airport many times recently, and was very familiar with it now. So when he arrived at the airport, Chen Tianlong bid farewell to Xiaoliang’s assistant and quickly entered the airport.
This trip to Yunfu wouldn’t take long, only two hours to reach the destination.
However, he could only get to the city, and would still have to take a car to the town.
It was already three in the afternoon, which meant if the flight was on time, Chen Tianlong might arrive after five. Upon arrival, he’d need another two hours by car to reach L Town, so he wouldn’t be able to meet up with Zhao Bing today.
Once on the plane, Chen Tianlong quietly sat in his seat as usual. It was a two-seat arrangement, and he was by the window.
Chen Tianlong didn’t mind it. He leaned back against the chair, feeling drowsy, perhaps from all the rushing around.
As he was about to close his eyes to sleep, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Raising his head, he saw a fair-skinned young woman, about eighteen or nineteen, dragging a purple suitcase towards him.
She was struggling to lift something up but couldn’t manage it no matter how hard she tried.
Chen Tianlong glanced around and noticed a few guys were ogling the girl with an eager expression. But upon closer inspection, another scene unfolded.
The girl was wearing a two-piece skirt made of a single fabric. As she lifted the suitcase, the lower part of her skirt and her close-fitting underwear were almost exposed, while the men around her were staring without blinking.
Chen Tianlong chuckled to himself and decided to stand up. After all, she was sitting right next to him, and it seemed only right to help.
Chen Tianlong stood and walked over, easily picking up the suitcase and putting it in the overhead bin. He then smiled slightly and returned to his seat.
Behind the girl, the group of men were glaring angrily at Chen Tianlong, clearly annoyed that their view had been interrupted.
"Thank you, I’m Jiang Yufan, nice to meet you."
The girl smiled slightly, and when she looked over she saw a handsome, aloof man sitting next to her, which made her heart skip a beat.
She was a descendant of the Jiang Family, known for being exorcists. Jiang Yufan naturally dealt with supernatural matters like feng shui, auspicious dates, fortune-telling, and warding off evil spirits. Although people regarded it as superstition, in L Town of Yunfu, it was more of a cultivation technique.
Everyone knew the Gu poison in Yunfu was notorious worldwide, and many undead had adapted his methods for improvement.
Jiang Yufan inherited their Jiang Family Technique, an exclusive Gu Skill, incredibly powerful.
"Uh, I’m Chen Tianlong, nice to meet you too."
Chen Tianlong used his real name. He wasn’t on a mission, and likely no one knew Zhao Bing had invited him to help. After all, Chen Tianlong was just a student, and it was the New Year. Why would the police collaborate with him?
However, Chen Tianlong owed Zhao Bing a favor, and Zhang Yufei was his good friend. In terms of emotion and reason, as soon as Chen Tianlong found out Zhang Yufei was in trouble, he would rush to save her.
Their relationship was neither too deep nor too shallow, as it was a matter of fate.
They’d met a few times, and each meeting had a slightly ambiguous vibe. Zhang Yufei’s personality and figure always left Ye Tian wanting more.
"Hehe, you’re from South Sea City, right? What are you going to Yunfu for? Traveling?"
Jiang Yufan asked with a smile, but upon thinking about it, it seemed unlikely. Traveling alone felt a bit lonely, and it wasn’t necessary to head out so late.
"You could say so, I’m going for some business." Chen Tianlong casually said, not revealing too much.
"Wow, is that so?"
Jiang Yufan seemed to sense Chen Tianlong’s mood and fell silent for a while.
At that moment, a dark-skinned man, about twenty-five or six years old, approached and shouted at Chen Tianlong, who was resting with his eyes closed, "Hey kid, how about trading seats with me? I prefer the window seat; I’m a bit airsick."
Jiang Yufan was taken aback and glanced back to see a few strangely-dressed men behind the dark-skinned man, covering their mouths and snickering, which secretly disgusted her.
Clearly, the man’s claim of being airsick was false, his complexion normal. He probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sit next to her.
Catching someone calling him, Chen Tianlong, with his keen sensing power, opened his eyes directly. He saw a young guy with stubble and an unfriendly gaze, seeming somewhat threatening.
"Kid, why are you spacing out? I said I’m airsick, let’s swap seats, didn’t you hear?" the dark-skinned man said rudely, seeing Chen Tianlong’s fair complexion and thinking he was easy to bully.
Initially, Chen Tianlong didn’t want to get involved, but seeing this sleazy man so arrogant, he felt uncomfortable not knocking him down a peg or two.
So, Chen Tianlong slowly raised his head and lazily said, "I’m sitting in the wrong seat. It’s my girlfriend’s seat. Come, dear, you sit here; it’s more comfortable by the window."
"Huh?"
Jiang Yufan was stunned, not knowing how she suddenly became someone else’s girlfriend. But then, seeing the dark-skinned sleazy man and Chen Tianlong’s calm expression, she understood.
"Yes, I asked him to save the seat for me. I forgot to switch after putting the suitcase down... You wouldn’t fight a girl for a seat, would you?"
Jiang Yufan acted a bit pitiful as she said this, which greatly annoyed the dark-skinned man.
To back down now would seem like a joke on him, but to proceed would require taking a seat from a girl in front of everyone, causing him to lose face.
Though thick-skinned and shameless, he couldn’t do such a thing before this beauty.
But he’d already boasted earlier, stepping back now would surely make his companions mock him.
After much deliberation, the dark-skinned man, mustering some courage, said, "Hmph, don’t pretend I don’t know you’re doing this on purpose, kid. You don’t even know this beauty; you just don’t want me sitting here. Okay, then don’t expect to keep the aisle seat either. If you don’t want a beating, hurry up."
