Chapter 849 - 847: The Secret of the Jade Pendant
Why doesn’t the ice attribute attack work on him?
Originally, Chen Tianlong knew he had a fire attribute constitution, but he didn’t expect to have resistance to the ice attribute too. He decided to talk to Master Li Tianyou about this when he had the chance.
After taking the two girls to school, Chen Tianlong personally escorted Jiang Yufan to the dormitory building. Jiang Yufan felt a bit reluctant to leave and wanted to express her feelings, maybe with a kiss, but seeing Liu Ting beside Chen Tianlong, she dismissed the thought.
After leaving the school, Chen Tianlong walked back with Liu Ting.
After only a short walk, Chen Tianlong felt a soft little hand gripping his palm. Instinctively, he looked down and saw it was Liu Ting.
At that moment, Liu Ting was too shy to meet Chen Tianlong’s eyes and just kept her head down, focusing on walking.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly. Liu Ting was like a sister to him. Maybe he subconsciously considered it familial love, neglecting the feelings that already existed. Now, being held by Liu Ting, he felt a strange sensation.
Since their last meeting in the Capital City, in the hotel, Chen Tianlong had almost ended up with Liu Ting.
If he hadn’t known it was Liu Ting, Chen Tianlong admitted he was indeed tempted by her. Her figure was perfect, and she held a mysterious allure for him.
"Cough, cough... Liu Ting, I want to ask you, why did the Black Alliance person want to capture you today?" Chen Tianlong seized the opportunity to ask, trying to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere.
"This..." Liu Ting hesitated slightly.
"Liu Ting, if it’s inconvenient to say, you don’t have to. It’s fine. I just want to care about you." Chen Tianlong smiled lightly. He truly couldn’t pinpoint his feelings about Liu Ting.
Perhaps only if Liu Ting took the initiative would he let down his guard, but Liu Ting just wouldn’t.
Liu Ting held his hand tighter and finally said, "They... they came for a jade pendant."
"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?" Chen Tianlong was stunned. Hearing the word ’jade pendant,’ he couldn’t help but think of the one in Mo Yun’s hand from the Mo Family. Chen Tianlong still wanted to investigate the matter from back then; Mo Yun definitely had something suspicious.
"Oh, it’s hard to explain all at once. Senior Brother, let’s talk when we get back to the villa." Liu Ting was somewhat worried about being overheard, considering the jade pendant was a valuable item.
She found it puzzling. With the Black Alliance’s strength, there was no need to rely on this jade pendant to upgrade their level, especially since the Black Alliance had insiders across various sects, making it easy to acquire natural treasures.
For pursuing this jade pendant for so many years, Liu Ting felt things were not that simple.
"Alright, we’ll discuss it when we get back." Chen Tianlong noticed Liu Ting’s concern.
The two walked hand in hand back to the villa quickly. Of course, when they reached the villa’s entrance, Liu Ting released her hand. She still didn’t dare hold Chen Tianlong’s hand in front of Wu Mengting, even though the two were just Senior Brother and Sister; holding hands shouldn’t matter.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly again. Liu Ting holding his hand reminded him of the days in the Assassin Group. Liu Ting liked holding hands, and Chen Tianlong subconsciously thought it was just a habit, so he didn’t let go.
At this time, apparently, Wu Mengting and the others had returned to the villa. Li Bingshuang, who went out for some fresh air, was also back. Having heard that Liu Ting was captured, the two girls sat worriedly on the sofa in the lobby.
Suddenly hearing a slight noise from the door, they hurried outside to see Chen Tianlong and Liu Ting returning together, and they were instantly overjoyed.
"Chen Tianlong, Liu Ting, you’re finally back," Wu Mengting sighed in relief.
"Hehe, with me around, nothing will happen. Also, Jiang Yufan was safely escorted back to the dormitory. All these things were done by the Xu Family members. Let’s talk about it in the room." Chen Tianlong said and headed toward the lobby.
In no time, all four were seated on the sofa.
In a few words, Chen Tianlong recounted the rough situation to Wu Mengting and Li Bingshuang to calm their concerns.
"Black Alliance?" Li Bingshuang, knowledgeable and experienced, was stunned upon hearing the name.
"Yes, the Black Alliance is an organization from Japan, very powerful. I visited their headquarters a few days ago, and indeed it is large in scale, with strong members. But I don’t know why they’re after Liu Ting this time."
Chen Tianlong didn’t mention the jade pendant to them. It wasn’t a matter of distrust; rather, he thought it might bring them deadly trouble.
The less they knew, the safer they were.
"Alright, well, the Black Alliance does have some capabilities. I heard the Celestial Wolf Gang is also under the Black Alliance’s control. They are merely a puppet branch of the Black Alliance in Huaxia. It’s said that the Black Alliance has branches in all cities across Huaxia, and their network is extremely strong. If you offend them, Chen Tianlong, you have to be careful." Li Bingshuang didn’t care about them, but she was concerned for Chen Tianlong’s safety.
"Yes, I understand. It’s getting late now. You should wash up and rest soon so as not to delay tomorrow’s matters. Also, I’ve spoken with the company’s top management. Next Monday, you can directly go over, and we’ll hold a meet and greet for you to start your job." Chen Tianlong smiled lightly.
"Okay, thank you." Li Bingshuang gave a slight smile to Chen Tianlong.
Wu Mengting didn’t say much. Chen Tianlong was the head of World Medicine, and now he wanted Li Bingshuang to work at his company, which was very normal. Wu Mengting also knew about the relationship between them, as they were already like a family, so there was nothing to be jealous of.
After the two left, Chen Tianlong didn’t leave but followed Liu Ting into her room.
Once inside, they sat by the bed, and soon Liu Ting took a small box from under the bed. She opened it and took out a meticulously crafted jade pendant.
"Here, this is it." Liu Ting handed the jade pendant to Chen Tianlong.
When Chen Tianlong held it in his hand, it looked somewhat familiar. After careful observation, he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t this the one I had before?"
"Huh? You had one too?" Liu Ting was taken aback.
"Yes, but the Mo Family took it away." Chen Tianlong laughed bitterly and then asked, "What does this jade pendant do that makes the Black Alliance go to such lengths?"
Liu Ting hesitated for a moment and then revealed its secret, "Chen Tianlong, I’ve always kept the jade pendant hidden, and over the years, my strength has grown significantly because of it. I haven’t used it recently for fear of the Black Alliance discovering it. Actually, it’s an energy stone."
"Energy stone?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback.
"Yes, an energy stone. It can actively absorb the natural Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. However, this jade pendant energy stone is very special. No one knows how it was formed, but it contains a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside. As long as you cultivate it, you can feel a continuous flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi coming out of it. You can try if you don’t believe me." Liu Ting said.
"Oh? That miraculous?"
Chen Tianlong was curious, nodded, and directly began cultivating the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
