Chapter 741 - 739: Success
Wu Mengting glanced at the bathtub and saw this: the originally dark medicinal water had turned crystal clear, and Chen Tianlong was stark naked, presenting an extraordinary sight in the water.
"Ah!"
After looking for a moment, Wu Mengting hurriedly turned around, clearly having seen something she shouldn’t have.
Tan Tian noticed Wu Mengting’s reaction, followed Chen Tianlong’s body with his gaze, and was momentarily speechless, "Ahem... Chen Tianlong, the water has cleared up."
"Oh, huh?"
Chen Tianlong didn’t immediately realize, but hearing Tan Tian’s words, he remembered he was naked, no wonder Wu Mengting turned away in embarrassment.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong hurriedly covered himself and then said to Tan Tian, "Master, what should I do now?"
"You can come out now, put on your clothes." Tan Tian said with surprise but also satisfaction.
"Ah? Really, Master? Wasn’t I supposed to stay for seventy-two hours?" Chen Tianlong was a bit stunned, it had only been two hours, and now his master was letting him out, could it be he had given up on him?
"Haha, congratulations, my disciple, I didn’t misjudge you. Your natural constitution made body tempering very simple, so you finished early." Tan Tian smiled slightly, not expecting to accidentally find such a capable successor, truly unpredictable.
"What, I... I successfully tempered my body?"
Chen Tianlong was obviously a bit in disbelief.
"Yes, hurry out and get dressed, or do you want to stay longer, haha?" Tan Tian said happily.
As soon as it was said, Chen Tianlong jumped out, ran to the clothes beside him, quickly got dressed, and ran back, smiling as he said, "Thank you, Master, I will never let you down in the future."
"Haha, we’re like family—what’s with the gratitude? Alright, go take a bath." Tan Tian said, then turned around and walked away.
Chen Tianlong followed with Wu Mengting.
With the body tempering complete, Chen Tianlong could continue practicing the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist, but it still wouldn’t reach full effectiveness. He would have to wait until he achieved Weakness Perception before he could perfect the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
However, this isn’t something that can be accomplished in a short time. After the martial arts competition, he’ll seek out Master Fang Yan to see what’s next.
Having bathed at Tan Tian’s place and with body tempering completed, Chen Tianlong was about to leave after briefing Tan Tian on the company’s situation.
At this moment, Tan Tian called into the inner room, "Mengting, come out, your Tianlong is leaving, come and see him off."
Chen Tianlong was speechless, not understanding his master’s intention. He was just leaving, but Tan Tian had called Wu Mengting to see him off. More importantly, the words sounded a bit odd, your Tianlong? It felt like their relationship was already at a romantic level.
However, what Chen Tianlong didn’t know was that the master just wanted to see their reaction, especially Chen Tianlong’s. But Chen Tianlong was stunned, showing no signs of shyness, which disappointed the master. Yet, he didn’t understand young love and didn’t want to intervene, nor could he.
So Tan Tian felt helpless and conflicted. He loved his granddaughter and wanted her to find a good match, someone reliable and strong who could protect her.
What mattered was the man’s character, not someone who cheats, fights, gives silent treatments, or engages in domestic violence, which would push his granddaughter into hell.
Therefore, finding a good man was very necessary.
In Tan Tian’s view, Chen Tianlong was undoubtedly a good man. At the very least, he was loyal and righteous, as seen from his willingness to risk his life to save others even in his role as a bodyguard. That’s why he decided to let Wu Mengting stay close to Chen Tianlong.
"Oh..."
Wu Mengting blushed immediately upon hearing her master’s call.
She heard those key words clearly and wondered how Chen Tianlong would react. But inside the room, she couldn’t see anything, and she couldn’t act too eager when going out, or else her grandpa would tease her.
Her affection for Chen Tianlong was surely known by her grandpa; otherwise, he wouldn’t give her opportunities to get close to Chen Tianlong every time, definitely not by chance. Wu Mengting, being a clever girl, could clearly see the intention, especially with the recent opportunity after dinner—a moment created for her and Chen Tianlong to be alone.
Not long after, Wu Mengting came out, while Chen Tianlong lingered at Tan Tian’s concerned reminder, coincidentally waiting for Wu Mengting to escort him.
Chen Tianlong didn’t know why, but hearing that Wu Mengting would see him off made him feel a bit reluctant.
Looking at Wu Mengting standing nearby, waiting for him, Chen Tianlong felt complicated inside.
He took a deep breath and began walking toward Wu Mengting. At this moment, Wu Mengting saw Chen Tianlong, and sealed her lips with a sweet smile. The two said nothing and walked out directly.
However, just near the entrance, Chen Tianlong suddenly stopped, causing Wu Mengting, who was walking, to be surprised. She softly asked, "Chen Tianlong, why did you stop?"
But before she could finish speaking, Chen Tianlong pulled her into his arms. Wu Mengting knew how precious this moment was.
Unconsciously, Wu Mengting hugged Chen Tianlong’s waist as if afraid this sudden embrace would be lost quickly. Although nervous, her heartbeat raced, pressed against Chen Tianlong’s broad chest, making him feel her tension.
Yet, the more it was, the tighter Chen Tianlong held her. Although he couldn’t promise her a lifetime then, Chen Tianlong gave her tenderness at that moment, even if just for two minutes.
People frequently passed through the corridor, so after a brief embrace, Wu Mengting pushed away, as a girl’s modesty outweighed the warmth of the hug.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, knowing that Wu Mengting’s actions were due to shyness, making her appear even cuter. Bidding farewell to Wu Mengting’s reluctant gaze, Chen Tianlong went directly back to the dormitory.
With no classes in the afternoon, Chen Tianlong returned to the dormitory, planning to use the Qi Gathering Pill to enhance his strength.
At this time, it was everyone’s lunchtime, so when Chen Tianlong quietly went upstairs, he wasn’t very noticeable, but opening the dormitory door revealed a different scene.
He saw two people wearing headphones, shouting, "Quick, request support, Yang Fan, left, left, oh no, I’m almost out of health."
Chen Tianlong was filled with exasperation, recognizing that these two were playing an online game, so he casually walked over to Zhao Lei’s side.
"Huh? Boss, you’re back." Zhao Lei just finished an intense round and took a breather, suddenly realizing someone was beside him, turning around quickly to find it was Chen Tianlong.
