Chapter 1089: Chapter 1175: The Mysterious Pendant
The car door opened, and all the students rushed out.
The reporters blocking the car door were pushed aside, and Chen Nan planned to slip away amidst the chaos. However, unexpectedly, the mischievous Zhuge Liang shouted out, “Hey everyone, Chen Nan is over there! For interviews, hurry up!”
“Zhuge Village Man, damn it!”
Chen Nan flipped him off, but was surrounded by the eager reporters coming from all directions.
Zhuge Liang and Zhang Tufu laughed heartily, saying, “This is a front-page headline, a great chance to gain fa. How can you miss it?”
“Damn it…”
Chen Nan couldn’t help but curse under his breath, only to find that the reporters recorded everything.
“You’re a public figure. Pay attention to your image.” Ca the laughter of Zhang Tufu and the others from the crowd’s edge.
“Mr. Chen, we heard you killed a giant python with your bare hands. Could you tell us if you practice martial arts?”
“Which school or sect do you belong to?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“…”
Listening to the journalists’ incessant inquiries, eager to dig out his ancestry, Chen Nan smiled helplessly and said, “Do you all believe there are immortals in this world?”
Upon hearing this irrelevant response, all reporters looked at Chen Nan with curiosity.
One of them asked, “Mr. Chen, are you suggesting you’ve seen an immortal, or perhaps you are one yourself?”
“I have indeed seen an immortal. All the skills I have were taught by him,” Chen Nan said with a grin. “I understand that words alone aren’t convincing, so I specially invited this immortal friend here today for you all to et.”
Invited an immortal!
Upon hearing this, the scene erupted in excitent, everyone thoroughly stirred up.
Nearly all reporters were itching to capture the immortal’s image, eagerly asking Chen Nan where the immortal was.
Chen Nan gave a mysterious smile, stayed silent for a mont, then pointed towards the eastern sky’s white cloud and said, “Look quickly, he has co riding in on the cloud.”
Both reporters and students promptly tilted their heads up to look at the sky.
They stared at that white cloud, trying to spot the figure of an immortal, but no matter how they strained their eyes, not a single trace was found, let alone an immortal.
A mont later, a reporter puzzledly said, “Where’s the immortal…”
Mid-sentence, all the reporters realized Chen Nan, who had been surrounded in the middle, was nowhere to be found.
How did he escape?
No one knew. They couldn’t comprehend how Chen Nan managed to slip away right under their noses amidst such a tightly packed crowd.
A true expert, indeed!
Finding their wits, nearly all the reporters imdiately dashed towards the dormitory building.
They figured Chen Nan surely avoided the interview, so he must have fled back to the dormitory. Even if Chen Nan didn’t return, they reckoned blocking the dorm entrance would ensure he’d eventually co back.
…
While the reporters awaited in vain, Chen Nan didn’t go back to the dormitory; he wasn’t even at the school anymore.
Since there were no classes today, just a briefing after military training, he called Lan Yuqin for leave and then returned to Ningjiang City to pick up Eastern Yun Fei and go back ho.
Ningjiang and Ninghai City are adjacent, and driving takes only two hours.
If Chen Nan used Sky-controlling Flight, he could travel faster than the quickest comrcial jet, reaching the Su residence in re minutes.
Su Yixuan, Eastern Yun Fei, and Shi’er were sitting in the living room watching TV.
The TV was broadcasting a news segnt which included images shared by netizens, depicting the mountain where Chen Nan and his unit had their training, covering the incident of him fighting a snake barehanded last night.
When Chen Nan entered the living room, only Shi’er noticed him; Eastern Yun Fei and Su Yixuan were too engrossed in the program to realize soone had walked in.
Shi’er smiled, ready to greet him, but Chen Nan gestured for silence, signaling her not to speak.
Shi’er looked at him puzzledly.
Quietly, Chen Nan sneaked inside, crept behind Eastern Yun Fei, and covered her eyes with his hands.
Eastern Yun Fei smiled, “Shi’er, quit fooling around.”
Hearing this, Chen Nan felt a bit crestfallen, while Shi’er and Su Yixuan chuckled.
Eastern Yun Fei felt his hands, squeezed them, and said, “These small and soft hands must be Shi’er’s. Let go.”
Chen Nan nearly fainted at this. Were his hands small? Soft?
Eastern Yun Fei seed to sense Chen Nan’s mood, flashed a triumphant smile, and patted his hands, “If it’s not Shi’er, then whose soft hands are these? Which female demon?”
Chen Nan finally understood Eastern Yun Fei was teasing him.
Leaning down, he bit her cheek lightly, released her, and said, “You claim I’m not a man. Then whose child is in your belly, so adulterer’s?”
Eastern Yun Fei scratched her head and said, “Sorry, dear. So many adulterers, I can’t rember whose it is.”
Chen Nan widened his eyes, “Really, an adulterer exists? Seems I need to spank you then.”
“Humph, go ahead, spank !”
“Can’t bear to…”
Eastern Yun Fei smirked, “At least you have so conscience.”
Chen Nan chuckled cheekily, “It’s not because I can’t bear to hurt the child, not because of you.”
“You…”
Eastern Yun Fei gave him a disdainful look and patted her belly lightly. “You can’t bear it, can you? I want to hit him now.”
Chen Nan sighed, “Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs. Would you really do it?”
“Haven’t you heard, the most poisonous hearts belong to won?”
“…”
Seeing them flirting, Su Yixuan turned away, endlessly switching TV channels. Her mind was in a ss, yet she couldn’t stop their voices from reaching her ears.
A mont later, she turned her head and said, “Hey, you two are too lovey-dovey. Consider us single folk, would you?”
Shi’er just watched them, saying nothing.
Chen Nan realized, promptly telling Eastern Yun Fei, “I’m here to pick you up. Pack your things.”
Eastern Yun Fei nodded, “No rush, let’s have lunch before leaving.”
“Alright.”
At this mont, Su Yixuan took out a pendant, handed it to Chen Nan and said, “Take a look, what is this?”
Chen Nan held it up — a translucent pendant about the size of a peanut. Its material was hard to discern, yet it contained the distinct aura of a Cultivator’s Primordial Power.
Chen Nan frowned, “Where did you get this?”
“It was the day after your wedding, Zhao Han gave it to .”
Su Yixuan said, sowhat confusedly, “He told he would be nearby, and if I encountered any danger, I should crush this pendant and he’d co imdiately. Is there sothing mysterious about this pendant?”
(Ahem, fell quite behind schedule. I promised an earlier update, but an urgent matter ca up, sorry, will try hard tonight!)
