Chapter 841 - 839: Shi Xiaohong Makes a Move
"Don’t worry, Mengting should be asleep by now." Chen Tianlong said, eagerly kissing Li Bingshuang’s red lips, as the two entwined...
Early the next morning, Li Bingshuang hurried back to her room, fearing that Wu Mengting might find out.
This action made Chen Tianlong smile wryly.
In fact, Wu Mengting already knew that Li Bingshuang was not in her room last night. She had wanted to ask her a question and had been knocking on her door for a long time without any response.
Later, when she went to the second floor, she heard sounds from Chen Tianlong’s room and confirmed it. However, after taking a deep breath, she let it go. It was something she had to face sooner or later, and Chen Tianlong had already talked to her about it.
During breakfast, Wu Mengting shot Chen Tianlong a look but didn’t say anything. Chen Tianlong, sensing that something was off, followed her into the room after breakfast.
Wu Mengting was in the middle of choosing her clothes, getting ready to head to school.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly stepped forward, embracing her, and asked, "You know about everything, don’t you?"
"Hmph, of course, I know..." Wu Mengting huffed, before changing the topic: "These next few nights, you have to stay with me and no visiting other rooms."
"Ah?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback but quickly understood: "As you command!"
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Tianlong accompanied Wu Mengting to school, while Li Bingshuang stayed home to read. Just as they reached the school gate, Chen Tianlong noticed a Ferrari parked nearby, and his brows furrowed.
At that moment, three people got out of the Ferrari and approached Chen Tianlong directly. Wu Mengting was a bit surprised.
Clearly, these people were up to no good; they were definitely not here for anything pleasant.
"Chen Tianlong, be careful," Wu Mengting said worriedly.
Chen Tianlong had already recognized these three people; weren’t they the ones they encountered on the way to Tianshu Manor the other day? Why were they here? Could it be to thank him?
"It’s fine, Mengting, you and Liu Ting should step aside for now."
Chen Tianlong appeared calm, but inside he was slightly tense. After all, they were two Profound Dao Two Star and one Profound Dao One Star. If it came to a fight, it might endanger those around them.
Liu Ting, accustomed to situations like this, immediately reacted, quickly pulling Wu Mengting aside.
Seeing the two girls move to a safe place, Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention forward.
"Kid, do you remember me?"
Shi Xiaohong hadn’t expected that the person he encountered on the road that day was Chen Tianlong. If he hadn’t seen the photo, he’d never have guessed.
"Yeah, I recognize you. What’s up? Here to thank me? No need for that little favor, everyone calls me a Good Samaritan." Chen Tianlong didn’t really believe they were here to thank him and just pretended to say so.
"Ha, kid, don’t pretend. You’re the famous figure in South Sea City, Chen Tianlong, right? Elder Han says you’re tough, and I came to see for myself today."
Shi Xiaohong originally intended to force information about Mo Jing from him, but upon hearing about Chen Tianlong’s strength, he suddenly wanted a challenge.
Beating a powerful figure in South Sea City would be quite something, making a good impression in front of Elder Han.
"Sorry, I’m not as impressive as you heard. I need to attend class now. Excuse me," Chen Tianlong said, stepping forward to leave.
But at that moment, the other two blocked Chen Tianlong’s path. They were Lao Shi and Lao Jiu from the Celestial Pill Sect.
Possessing substantial strength as well, Chen Tianlong had to stop.
"What competition are you looking for? I’m willing to concede. Isn’t that enough?" Chen Tianlong said casually.
"Haha, funny, concede? Do you really think I’m here to spar with you? I’m not that bored," Shi Xiaohong laughed heartily, acting very domineering and blatant.
"Oh, you’re acting like someone who’s full and bored. If not to spar, why block my way? Whatever, I have no time to play with you guys. I’m off now." Chen Tianlong said, darting past them with a Ghost Shadow Flash.
Lao Shi and Lao Jiu were stunned; they didn’t expect the kid to have such a mysterious footwork and quickly rushed forward, acting before Shi Xiaohong could give orders.
Since Shi Xiaohong mentioned the Mo Family, Chen Tianlong had recalled the trio Yang Xinru mentioned. They were undoubtedly sent by the Celestial Pill Sect.
But then he wondered, weren’t they here for Yang Xinru? Why target him?
"Did Mo Chou send you to deal with me?" Chen Tianlong voiced his suspicion.
"Oh, pretty clever, you got it right."
Shi Xiaohong took a step forward and blocked Chen Tianlong: "Alright, I initially wanted to see your strength, but that’s unnecessary now. Let’s get to the point — where’s your sister? Speak, and I might spare your life."
Chen Tianlong frowned; all this trouble was to get at his sister.
Did they know about Mo Jing’s Alchemy Furnace Body?
Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but think. He had found out from the letter given by Mrs. Mo and hadn’t expected Mo Jing’s information would be exposed so quickly. Chen Tianlong suspected someone might have been monitoring Mo Jing, and now that she was under his protection, they decided to act.
So he switched into combat mode.
Mo Jing was his reverse scale; if anyone intended to target Mo Jing, they must be deterred early on. Otherwise, they would pose a threat to his sister.
"Heh, give up on that idea. If you want to mess with Mo Jing, you’ll have to deal with my fists first." With that, Chen Tianlong rushed forward, punching Lao Shi.
Being only a Profound Dao One Star, Lao Shi was relatively easier to handle. Once one was down, it would be two against one.
Two against one wouldn’t necessarily mean defeat; as long as the opponent’s Profound Dao Two Star wasn’t overwhelmingly powerful, he could maneuver for a while, breaking them one by one, holding a slight chance of victory.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Lao Shi flew backward. He never expected that the guy, who was only Yellow Dao Six Stars two days ago, had upgraded to Profound Dao One Star so quickly.
Earlier, he only used the power equivalent to Yellow Dao Seven Stars, as Shi Xiaohong had told him they couldn’t go too hard on this guy and needed information about Mo Jing’s whereabouts.
This decision led to heavy injuries for Lao Shi.
Seizing the chance, Chen Tianlong swiftly fired three silver needles, which transformed into twenty-seven, targeting Lao Shi’s vital points. At this moment, Lao Shi was clearly incapacitated, too busy tending to his injuries on the ground to continue fighting.
Lao Jiu and Shi Xiaohong, witnessing the scene, were also startled. How could Lao Shi, a Profound Dao One Star, be defeated in one move? Did this kid defy the heavens?
"Lao Jiu, Xiaohong, this guy is a Profound Dao One Star. Be cautious." After taking a deep breath, Lao Shi finally regained his composure and urgently warned.
"Oh? He’s a Profound Dao One Star, I see. Lao Jiu, hold back for now. I’ll engage him." Hearing Lao Shi’s remark, he realized that they had underestimated their opponent, and such a defeat wouldn’t occur otherwise.
Lao Jiu nodded, staying in place to observe and back up if necessary.
Chen Tianlong chuckled coldly, clearly pleased.
He had initially feared if both Profound Dao Two Star opponents attacked together, he wouldn’t know how to handle it. Now that they separated for individual challenges, his odds of winning improved significantly.
