My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 860 - 858: Buying Jade

"Mengting, which one do you fancy? Let me see how good your taste is. We don’t have to buy it, just appreciating it is fine." Chen Tianlong said deliberately.

Wu Mengting reached out and picked up the heart-shaped jade pendant, then swayed it a bit and said: "It’s this one!"

"Hmm, not bad." Chen Tianlong smiled and turned to the other girls, asking: "Which one do you like? I’ll see how your tastes are too, and which one suits me best."

Upon hearing this, the girls were momentarily stunned, and then they started to pick out.

In their view, being able to choose something Chen Tianlong would like was definitely a sign of a deep connection. Although these three girls didn’t say it out loud, Chen Tianlong had some understanding of their thoughts.

Sure enough, shortly after, everyone was holding up the jade they liked and flaunting it in front of Chen Tianlong.

"Ah, after looking around, I still like Mengting’s piece the best." Chen Tianlong’s response was clearly wise, hoping that the three girls would understand.

Shen Yan was the most sensible, quickly chiming in: "Of course, Mengting is definitely connected to you in spirit, otherwise why would you be a couple, haha."

"No way, Chen Tianlong is probably lying, maybe he actually likes Liu Ting’s jade." Wu Mengting blushed and put down the jade, then walked forward, the other girls put theirs down and followed closely.

After they walked away, Chen Tianlong instructed the owner: "Wrap up all the jade pendants those four just picked out for me."

"Alrighty!" The owner was overjoyed, thinking he wouldn’t sell even one, but to his surprise they all got sold in the blink of an eye. He smiled slyly and said: "Young man, not bad, having four girlfriends?"

"Go away, stop talking nonsense, wrap them up quickly." Chen Tianlong gave him a glare.

A moment later, Chen Tianlong slipped the jade pendants into his pants pocket and hurriedly caught up.

They strolled for over half an hour before finally reaching the end. Everyone was a bit thirsty, and seeing a dessert shop ahead, Chen Tianlong suggested: "Let’s go over there for some sweet soup."

Everyone nodded.

A few minutes later, they arrived at an open-air dessert shop, where many tables and chairs were set outside. The evening breeze was refreshing and soothing.

Just when Chen Tianlong was about to sit down, he realized that at a nearby table there were three people sitting, with one more at another table, all of whom were staring over here.

Initially, Chen Tianlong thought these men were captivated by the beauty of the girls with him, looking over for a glimpse of pleasure, and didn’t pay much attention.

However, it wasn’t long before he felt a wave of Powerful Qi.

And this wave was especially strong, not something an average practitioner could exhibit. Among them, Ouyang Meijia and junior sister Liu Ting were practitioners, not very high-level, but at least they weren’t in any life-threatening danger.

As for Shen Yan, Chen Tianlong knew she was a master, definitely not in any danger. The only concern was Wu Mengting. Judging from that person’s Powerful Qi wave just now, it was at least above Profound Dao, while the others were around Yellow Dao six stars.

This meant Meijia and junior sister definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against the three of them, putting Mengting at risk.

So, Chen Tianlong turned to Shen Yan for help: "Shen Yan, there are many handsome men over there eyeing you, you need to be careful. Make sure to keep an eye on Mengting for me, I’m afraid I’ll accidentally lose her later."

Chen Tianlong’s words seemed senseless, but to Shen Yan’s ears, they had another meaning. Clearly, she too felt that wave of Powerful Qi. Who would’ve thought that just coming out to play, they ran into such experts.

However, such experts didn’t pose a threat to her, she just couldn’t show it casually, especially in front of Chen Tianlong. The reason was simple. She had already shown her abilities before Chen Tianlong earlier; going from Yellow Dao seven stars up to Profound Dao one star. If she suddenly showed more advanced abilities now, it would make Chen Tianlong suspicious.

She wasn’t afraid Chen Tianlong would kill her; she was concerned he would think she was lying, hiding something from him.

"Don’t worry, I’ll look after Mengting, so you can go wherever you please. But aren’t you worried I’ll whisk her away so you can’t find her?" Shen Yan replied with a faint smile.

"Haha, where can you whisk her away to? I’ll just complain to the principal, and you’d have to obediently come back." Chen Tianlong said this while watching Shen Yan’s expression.

Although he wasn’t clear about Shen Yan’s identity, since she was introduced by the principal to be a teacher and given a private office, Chen Tianlong found it peculiar.

If Shen Yan was a relative of the principal, or worse, his mistress Xiaosan, such arrangements would make sense. But she apparently wasn’t any of that and the principal seldom interacted with Shen Yan.

Sure enough, Shen Yan was taken aback, thinking Chen Tianlong had discovered something, hurriedly covering up: "No need to find the principal, I’m your English teacher, can’t run away."

"Haha, is that so." Chen Tianlong chuckled naively.

"What are you two talking about? I don’t understand a thing." Wu Mengting suddenly asked.

Just then, the three at the adjacent table walked over without a word, reaching out to grab Wu Mengting. But they overestimated themselves, trying to grab Wu Mengting in front of Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong executed the third move of Frenzied Dragon Fist, hitting a man directly. That man was sent flying, clutching his chest and spitting blood, and though he didn’t faint, he was nearly incapacitated.

At this point, Wu Mengting, Meijia, and the others were startled, knowing these men’s strength exceeded that of Ouyang Meijia and Liu Ting. Their only option was to dodge.

"Mengting, stick with me, don’t run around." Shen Yan remembered Chen Tianlong’s earlier words, knowing she could protect Wu Mengting, deliberately saying so.

Panicked, Wu Mengting didn’t think much of it, subconsciously assuming Shen Yan had the ability.

Seeing Wu Mengting safe, Chen Tianlong was relieved and charged at the other two without hesitation. But at that moment, Shangguan Jianren finally made his move, swiftly appearing in front of Chen Tianlong.

However, practitioners from Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall shared a habit: they’d show off before attacking, to satisfy their ego.

"So you’re Chen Tianlong, right? To let you die with clarity, I’ll tell you who I am!" Shangguan Jianren said with a sneer: "You offended our Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall and killed Cheng Hao. The Hall Master wants me to take your life. Do you want to do it yourself, or should I? But you’ll look bad if I do it."

"Wow, death comes with choices, huh? Let me think about it." Chen Tianlong thought bitterly; was everyone at Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall a clown? Why did they all go for the same routine, caring about appearances in death at all!
