Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 467: Sorry, Not Interested

The entire cabin fell silent in an instant.

Everyone was staring at Liu Kuan, who was already on the ground, with their mouths agape and eyes filled with shock.

"He... How did he end up on the floor?" someone asked weakly.

Xie Lei, Lin Xue, and the others were all utterly stunned; even though they hadn’t seen exactly what happened, they could guess that Liu Kuan had been taken down by Chen Fan.

Xie Lei was dazed, "This guy... Is he really that powerful?"

Swallowing hard, Lin Xue stammered, "I think I might have misunderstood him."

Gripping Lin Xue, Liu Zhai also snapped back to reality at this moment. He threw Lin Xue to the side and, grinding his teeth, charged toward Chen Fan, "I didn’t expect to run into a tough one; now I’d like to see just how capable you are!"

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Chen Fan, swinging a palm toward Chen Fan’s chest.

His movements seemed as slow as a turtle in Chen Fan’s eyes. Chen Fan raised his hand and slapped back.

Liu Zhai did a 720-degree flip in the air and landed heavily on top of Liu Kuan.

The already severely injured Liu Kuan let out another cry of pain and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Everyone was dumbfounded; the two hijackers who had been so formidable moments ago were easily subdued.

Chen Fan released two bursts of power, shooting them into the hijackers’ dantian, completely disabling their Inner Strength. He then addressed the passengers on the plane, "Tie them both up. They won’t be able to move for a while. Once the plane lands, you can hand them over to the authorities."

Everyone nodded eagerly; judging by the strength Chen Fan had displayed, no one dared to disobey his order.

They found some rope and tied up Liu Kuan and Liu Zhai tightly, bundling them securely before dumping them in the back seats.

Xie Lei looked at Chen Fan, his face full of embarrassment, realizing that Chen Fan had not bothered with him previously probably meant that he didn’t want to waste time with someone like himself, while he had mistakenly thought Chen Fan was a coward. It turned out that this was the real big shot.

He approached Chen Fan with restraint and bowed deeply, apologizing, "Big brother, I’m truly sorry, I was an idiot. I was presumptuous and troubled you earlier, yet you didn’t hold it against me. It was my luck. I’ve realized my mistake and hope that you can forgive me."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It’s normal for young people to be spirited, but you’re quite self-aware. Be more careful in the future, and I won’t hold it against you."

Xie Lei quickly nodded, "Thank you, big brother. Thank you."

Soon, he sensed something amiss, "Big brother said I’m self-aware; is he referring to when I said I was an idiot?"

He didn’t dare to ask further, giving a sheepish smile and backing away. freёweɓnovel.com

At that moment, Lin Xue rushed over, her face full of admiration for Chen Fan, already sparkling like stars, and excitedly said, "Big brother, you were so awesome just now, absolutely cool. Can I have your autograph?"

Seeing this, Xie Lei grabbed Lin Xue’s arm and said, "Xue, big brother doesn’t like to be disturbed. Let’s not bother him anymore."

With a snap, Lin Xue shook off Xie Lei’s hand, then stared at him with a stern expression and said irritably, "Xie Lei, please show some respect. Don’t just touch me whenever you want; we’re just fellow students, not that close. Besides, please call me Lin Xue from now on. The name ’Xue’ is reserved for the people closest to me, so I hope you’ll remember that. I don’t want to give the wrong impression to big brother."

Xie Lei looked at his junior sister in disbelief, wondering how her attitude toward him had changed so drastically from before.

"Xue, you..."

Lin Xue frowned, "I already told you not to call me Xue. Why are you like this?"

Then she turned back to Chen Fan, explaining sweetly, "Big brother, please don’t get the wrong idea, we’re just normal fellow students. It bothers me when he calls me Xue, but he never remembers. However, if big brother wants to call me Xue, I definitely won’t mind."

Chen Fan could only look on, somewhere between laughter and tears, thinking to himself that for one so young, her skills at maneuvering social dynamics were impressive. If given a few more years, she would be unstoppable.

Xie Lei was filled with despair, not expecting his junior sister to be so fickle. She had been quite affectionate with him just a short while ago, and now she suddenly wouldn’t even let him call her Xue.

His fellow students looked at Xie Lei with sympathy, some even struggling to hold back laughter.

Xie Lei turned away dejectedly, deciding to go back to his seat and cool down alone.

When Lin Xue saw this, she called out, "Where are you going?"

Xie Lei answered, "I’m going to sit down in my seat."

Lin Xue retorted, "What do you mean your seat? That’s big brother’s seat; it’s you who shamelessly took it from big brother. Go back to your own place immediately and don’t dare take big brother’s seat again."

Xie Lei was dumbfounded, "But you were the one who told me to..."

Lin Xue snorted, "Enough, just shut up. No one wants to hear your explanation."

Then she grabbed Chen Fan’s hand, and with a bashful face, said, "Big brother, let’s go sit down."

Chen Fan wore a helpless expression, resigning himself to sitting with Lin Xue.

Xie Lei was petrified, this was undoubtedly the darkest moment of his life. For a split second, he even felt the impulse to defect from his sect.

After being pulled to sit down by Lin Xue, Chen Fan was bombarded with questions. During the conversation, he learned that Lin Xue was actually the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Chen Fan shared with Lin Xue that he had joined the Martial Arts competition and won first place.

Lin Xue’s face was full of shock, and she also remembered why Chen Fan’s name sounded so familiar.

At the time of Chen Fan’s victory, the upper echelons of the Martial Arts Alliance had discussed him at length, even Lin Zhendong had nothing but praise for Chen Fan.

Li Chengfeng, who was in charge of the competition, was questioned for not having recruited Chen Fan into the Martial Arts Alliance.

Reflecting on these events, Lin Xue suddenly made a bold decision in her mind.

She was determined to recruit Chen Fan into the Martial Arts Alliance!

"Just because Li Chengfeng couldn’t do it, doesn’t mean I can’t," she thought. "If I can recruit Chen Fan into the Martial Arts Alliance, grandfather will surely reward me greatly. Moreover, only by having Chen Fan join the Martial Arts Alliance will I get the chance to get close to him. He’s so capable, has personality, and exudes manliness—way better than Xie Lei. I can’t miss this opportunity."

Thinking this, Lin Xue blinked her innocent large eyes and looked earnestly at Chen Fan, saying, "Big brother, you are so amazing, Xue really admires you. Why don’t you join our Martial Arts Alliance? Grandpa will definitely value you highly, and who knows, maybe he’ll even make you the Vice Alliance Hierarch!"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, "Sorry, not interested."

Lin Xue’s expression stiffened, as she hadn’t expected Chen Fan to refuse so bluntly.

She bit her lip, thinking to herself that she had personally invited him and he still refused. "Do you really think I’m that easy-going?" she thought.

Humph, just you wait; I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, and I refuse to believe I can’t handle you!

With that thought, Lin Xue took out a pink cloth from her bag and handed it to Chen Fan, saying, "Big brother, without you, Xue might have been in great danger this time. To express my gratitude, please accept this towel. It’s one that I use personally—very clean, and the material is of great quality. It’s not worth much, but please accept it, big brother."

Chen Fan glanced at the pink cloth, slightly puzzled, "Is this a towel?"

Lin Xue nodded seriously, "Yes, it might look different from the ones you’re used to, but it is indeed a towel. Things we girls use always differ from what you guys use. This is a token of my sincerity, and if big brother doesn’t accept it, Xue might cry."

Feeling obliged, Chen Fan nodded, "Alright then, I’ll accept it. Thank you."

He took the "towel," and found it was actually made of silk, soft and smooth, with a distinctive fragrance unique to girls.

Without giving it much thought, he put the "towel" away.

A mischievous glint appeared in Lin Xue’s eyes, and a significant smile formed on her lips before she said, "Big brother, let’s exchange contact information. Who knows, maybe in the future you’ll think of joining our Martial Arts Alliance again, and I will certainly welcome you warmly."

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, exchanging contact information with Lin Xue.

In the past, he might have considered joining the Martial Arts Alliance, but now that he had reached the second rank of the Golden Core Realm, even the Alliance Hierarch’s strength was barely in the Divine Realm. This organization couldn’t offer him any benefits, so joining would be a waste of time.

After nearly two hours of flight, the plane landed at Capital’s airport.

Chen Fan walked out of the airport and looked at the high-rise buildings outside, feeling a tinge of sadness in his heart.

When he had left, he and Su Qingyan were together, but now he returned alone, not even sure how to explain to Mu Tianxiong.

After a soft sigh, Chen Fan walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed towards Mu Mansion.

Mu Mansion.

At this moment, the entire estate was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.

Mu Tianxiong, Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Taiyi, Guan Xiaotian, and Zhong Xinyao all wore dejected expressions, with both Jiang Taiyi and Guan Xiaotian sporting blood on their mouths, and clear signs of a fight in the courtyard.

Guan Xiaotian cursed, "That damn Xiao Zhantian is just too strong; we were no match for him. If he had wanted to kill me then, he probably could have done so with a flick of his finger."

Jiang Taiyi clenched his teeth, "I always thought the people of Divine Covenant were upstanding, and even if they coveted the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, they wouldn’t stoop to such despicable methods to take it. I didn’t expect Xiao Zhantian to be so unreasonable. Without giving him the Formation Core, he just attacked us. It’s outrageous!"

Lu Jinyuan sighed and said, "It’s no use talking about this now. We have already agreed to hand over the Cold Jade Marrow to Xiao Zhantian in a week’s time, and we have only this one week left. We should think about what we can do in this week."

Mu Tianxiong’s face was somber, "Xiao Zhantian’s strength is overwhelming compared to us; a week or a month makes no real difference. At this point, our only hope is for Chen Fan to return in time."

Zhong Xinyao clenched her fists and cursed, "That bastard Chen Fan, where the hell did he go? We can’t get in touch with him for such a long time. I really want to beat him up!"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded in everyone’s ears, "Uh... I don’t remember provoking you, so why do you want to beat me up?"
