Yang Peipei was indeed somewhat attracted to Luo Chen, otherwise she would not have asked him out for a meal today. Awkwardly explaining a few things on behalf of Yang Jun, Yang Peipei then chatted enthusiastically with Luo Chen.
Yang Jun, on the other hand, kept a cold face and grew increasingly displeased.
“Mr Luo, we are going to Xianluo tomorrow. Would you like to come along for a trip?” Yang Peipei invited Luo Chen.
Because at the airport, she had mistakenly assumed Luo Chen was there for tourism. Since it was a trip, dropping by Xianluo along the way would not be a bad idea. Although there were many kathoey there, it did not change the fact that it was a tourist destination!
“Xianluo?”
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, because to be honest, he was currently considering where to go.
After all, returning to his home country was impossible, at least not before the matter of the crystal skull was resolved. Otherwise, if over a hundred international tycoons gathered in Huaxia, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Luo Chen had originally planned to wander around somewhere else, but with Yang Peipei mentioning it, he began to consider it seriously.
Hearing this, Yang Jun’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Mr Luo, why not come to Xianluo with us? I can show you around and broaden your horizons.” Yang Jun suddenly became enthusiastic. Once in Xianluo, that would be his territory. With the influence of the Vata family, he could easily make things difficult for Luo Chen with a simple move!
Luo Chen looked at the string of Buddhist prayer beads around Yang Jun’s neck and then nodded in agreement.
The reason Luo Chen had just noticed the prayer beads on Yang Jun’s neck was not because they were made of Tianhuang jade, but because an exotic fruit was hidden within those beads! Luo Chen had once heard Master Nanchan say that the place with the most exotic fruits was probably Xianluo.
He had always wanted to study this supernatural ability, but he had been stuck at the first tier of the extraordinary human stage, so there was not much to research. If he went to Xianluo, perhaps he could truly find some opportunity to advance.
It just so happened that during this period, in order to suppress the two forces within his body, it was inconvenient for him to use his cultivation.
“Alright.” Luo Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yang Jun also smiled, but that smile carried a sense of triumph.
Hmph, going to Xianluo? With the power of his Vata family, would not this sweetheart of Yang Peipei be entirely at his mercy?
“Then let us meet at the airport tomorrow,” Yang Jun said with a smile.
This meal ended quickly.
The next morning, Luo Chen went to the airport early.
Hearing that Luo Chen had gone to the airport, all the Dongying experts, including the people of the Tokugawa family, especially Tokugawa Beimen, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were truly afraid that Luo Chen would overstay his welcome and refuse to leave.
If that happened, the entire Dongying would probably be thoroughly ruined by Luo Chen.
“Do you know where he is going?” Tokugawa Beimen asked.
“It seems he is going to Xianluo,” someone replied.
“Xianluo?”
“Hahaha, the Bhikshu King is probably going to have bad luck.”
“Sigh, it is just that our Tokugawa family and the Bhikshu King have some friendship, so this matter is truly difficult to handle,” Tokugawa Beimen sighed.
Speaking of which, the Bhikshu King had shown great kindness to their Tokugawa family.
“Then should we notify the Bhikshu King now?”
“Baka, are you a pig?” Tokugawa Beimen cursed directly.
“If we notify the Bhikshu King and he tries to stop him, what if Luo Wuji decides not to go to Xianluo and just stays in our Dongying?” Tokugawa Beimen scolded.
“Are we waiting for over a hundred international tycoons to gather in Dongying and tear our Dongying apart?”
“Do this instead. Wait until Luo Wuji has landed in Bhikshu, and then you notify the Bhikshu King immediately.”
“This way, we can ensure the safety of our Dongying, and we can still repay the Bhikshu King a favour,” Tokugawa Beimen sneered.
Luo Chen naturally knew nothing of this, nor did he care about the situation in the home country.
Arriving at the airport at this moment, Yang Peipei and Yang Jun were already waiting there.
After exchanging greetings, just as the group was about to get their boarding passes, several middle aged women blocked Yang Peipei, Luo Chen, and the others.
“Miss, are you also going to Xianluo?” the middle aged women asked.
Yang Peipei did not hide it and simply nodded, saying yes.
“Then, miss, how about you join our tour group?” one of the women suggested.
“Join a tour group?” Luo Chen frowned. The reputation of tour groups to Xianluo was not very good.
After all, just the incidents that had been exposed were already numerous, and anyone with a bit of sense knew that these were only the exposed ones. What about the ones that had not been exposed?
Tour groups to Xianluo indeed had many instances of forced consumption, such as insisting that you enter shopping malls to buy things, buy souvenirs, or buy jade, and so on.
Of course, those were all sold at sky high prices!
Not buy?
Then apologies, not only would they not let you leave, but your personal safety might also encounter accidents!
After all, it was a foreign country, unfamiliar territory, and sometimes one could only obediently take out money to buy them.
“Handsome young man, and miss, here is the situation. Two people in our group cannot make it at the last minute, so we are short by two people. However, the tour guide means that if we do not have enough people, we will not go.”
“So, what do you think?” the woman looked at Yang Peipei, mistakenly assuming she was the one making the decisions.
But Yang Peipei looked at Luo Chen. After all, in such situations, smart women knew to give men a bit of face.
“We will go on our own.” Luo Chen looked at the tour guide over there and declined the invitation from the middle aged women.
“Oh, handsome young man, please just help us out. We will all chip in to pay for your tour group fees.”
“What, are you afraid that they will force you to spend money later?” Yang Jun mocked with a hint of a joke.
He was actually quite willing to go with a group of middle aged women. Otherwise, along the journey, he would probably only have to watch Yang Peipei try every way to please Luo Chen, while he could only watch helplessly.
“Young man, you do not need to worry about this. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, come over here!” the group of women shouted into the crowd.
Immediately, a burly man over two metres tall walked straight out.
“We have a bodyguard, do not be afraid. Xiao Zhang is a former gold belt champion in the over eighty five kilogram Muay Thai category.” This group of women was clearly prepared, talking while gesturing animatedly with flying spittle.
And this Xiao Zhang was indeed tall and burly, with exceptionally developed muscles all over, looking like someone who spent a lot of time in the gym.
“Handsome young man, you are not really worried that someone will scam us when we get there, are you?” a cold voice rang out as a heavily made up, glamorous woman walked over.
Then the woman intimately linked arms with the burly man named Xiao Zhang and spoke.
“We have my boyfriend to protect us, what are you afraid of?”
This made Luo Chen frown, especially when he saw that heavily made up, glamorous woman leaning against Xiao Zhang.
“You are not really that timid, are you?” Yang Jun sneered.
“Do not worry, Mr Luo, I also have some connections over there,” Yang Jun said loudly.
“By the way, Mr Luo, I forgot to tell you. My younger brother is actually from Xianluo, and he has some connections and relationships there, so this kind of thing will not happen,” Yang Peipei explained, seeing that Luo Chen seemed to be frowning slightly.
Yang Jun looked at Luo Chen with an arrogant expression.
“Alright then.” The reason Luo Chen had frowned just now was not because he was afraid of being forced to buy things himself.
If anyone truly dared to try and force Luo Wuji to buy something, let them try.
He was just a bit worried for Yang Peipei.
But hearing Yang Peipei say this, Luo Chen did not insist any further.
The group boarded the plane, while back in Huaxia, it was as if the sky had been torn open!
