Chapter 854: Chapter 852: Buying a Watch
Chen Tianlong stared at the boss during the conversation, looking into his eyes, but couldn’t see any signs of lying. Then Chen Tianlong closed his eyes, using his X-ray and magnification abilities, he inspected the components inside the watch. Sure enough, everything was exactly as the boss said, with laser-printed information on each part.
If this kind of ticulous work was a high imitation, it wouldn’t have been done so thoroughly on the inside, because few people would think of dismantling the watch when they buy one.
Just like Chen Tianlong now, if not for his X-ray ability, he’d be too lazy to take a look inside.
To be safe, Chen Tianlong called Liu Ting and scanned a QR code on the back of the watch case to send to her. A few minutes later, Liu Ting confird it was indeed a Patek Philippe.
"Chen Tianlong, you’re buying such an expensive watch? You’re really a wealthy senior brother." Liu Ting teased.
"Liu Ting, do you also like wearing watches?" Chen Tianlong was startled, sensing sothing deeper in Liu Ting’s words. Usually, these girls only wore watches if they were from the upper class; otherwise, Chen Tianlong would have given Wu ngting one early on.
"Haha, I don’t like wearing them, but if soone gives
one, I could wear it reluctantly." Liu Ting laughed.
"Oh, so Liu Ting, what do you like then? Bracelets? Rings?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing "rings," Liu Ting subconsciously thought of sothing else. If Chen Tianlong were to give her a ring, would it an sothing different?
"What’s wrong, don’t you like rings?" Chen Tianlong asked, evidently without any ulterior motive. He thought many single girls could wear rings too, so it was nothing.
"No... nothing, rings and stuff, better not buy them. I’m afraid ngting might misunderstand." Liu Ting explained directly.
"Alright. I’ll hang up then." Chen Tianlong didn’t linger any longer, hanging up to proceed with his paynt.
"Boss, wrap it up for , but it must be packed exquisitely, otherwise I won’t buy it." Chen Tianlong emphasized once again.
"Haha, little brother, rest assured. For such a prestigious watch, I’d be reluctant to pack it in just any box. Our shop uses a premium crystal box worth 2800 as packaging—definitely high-end." The boss laughed, pointing to a crystal box nearby.
Chen Tianlong took a look and indeed found it dignified, nodding in agreent.
After about twenty minutes, Chen Tianlong took the watch back to the school. At this ti, everyone was still sleeping. Initially, Chen Tianlong thought of placing the gift directly in Lin Wushuang’s drawer. But with such a valuable item, what if soone saw and stole it?
After contemplating for a while, Chen Tianlong decided to invite Lin Wushuang out in the evening and hand it over personally.
Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
Shangguan Ba finally made a decision. After hearing from Hao Shuai that Chen Tianlong had already offended both the Black Alliance and the Celestial Pill Sect, this was an opportune mont. If Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall could eliminate Chen Tianlong, it would be a major accomplishnt. In return, the Black Alliance and Celestial Pill Sect might shower gratitude, possibly offering resources or collaboration on projects—a lucrative deal.
Therefore, Shangguan Ba decided to send his third disciple, Shangguan Jianren, into action. Shangguan Jianren was a Profound Dao Two Stars expert, handling Chen Tianlong should be no problem.
Thus, Shangguan Jianren embarked on his journey to South Sea’s city, to convene with Hao Shuai and others; determining when to act would depend on their discussions.
Celestial Martial Sect.
"Zhou An, this ti I’m sending you down the mountain with one task—eliminate that brat Chen Tianlong. Rember, it’s to eliminate, not rely injure." The Sect Leader of the Celestial Martial Sect had reached his limit; all due to Chen Tianlong, the sect nearly faced defeat.
Originally, with ten competent disciples, Celestial Martial Sect’s overall strength ranked mid-high among the eight sects. Now it’s declining, barely above Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
Though they can’t compare with the likes of the Celestial Pill Sect, against sects like Ei, Celestial, Kongtong, Wudang Shaolin, they should still hold an advantage.
Now they’re relegated to second-last place, utterly despairing; hindsight reveals it would’ve been better not to get involved in that ssy affair.
"Yes, Master, don’t worry. It’s just a guy with so skills. No matter how formidable, he’s re riffraff—a martial arts rogue. He can’t compare to us legitimate disciples." Zhou An, as the chief disciple with the strength of Profound Dao Three Stars, noted that the Mortal Realm was filled with ordinary folk. Once he descended, it would be like slicing through vegetables, hardly requiring effort.
"Don’t underestimate, rember Xuan Yu’s fate—he wasn’t much worse than you." Zhou Bin still harbored so concern, though Zhou An’s strength was formidable, enough for Chen Tianlong shouldn’t harm him.
However, hearing from the Mo Family that this guy doesn’t play by the rules, his peculiar techniques govern caution.
"Alright, you can rest easy, anticipate my good news." Zhou An had long yearned to descend the mountain, to explore the bustling world; now, the chance was here—he intended not only to kill soone but to savor enjoynt before any other tasks.
Thus, Zhou An departed that afternoon, the day after Chen Tianlong bought the watch, heading to South Sea.
South Sea No.1 Middle School.
After dinner, with the evening breeze gently blowing, for so reason, delivering this gift to the young lady made Chen Tianlong slightly nervous—akin to his earlier love with Wu ngting.
This sensation prevented him from deceiving himself, an undeniably genuine existence.
"Surely it’s affection developed over ti; I can’t fall in love with the young lady. Certainly, it’s habitual, rely friendship." Chen Tianlong murmured internally, adamantly convincing himself.
During dinner, Chen Tianlong texted Lin Wushuang, inviting her to et him at the horizontal bar on the playground at eight o’clock in the evening. After a brief hesitation, Lin Wushuang responded with an "Mm."
Although she didn’t know what Chen Tianlong wanted, the scenario was reminiscent of a secretive lover’s eting, causing Lin Wushuang to experience a peculiar hint of excitent.
Wearing a white short dress, exposing her fair legs and milky knees, Lin Wushuang deliberately applied light makeup and arrived at the playground on ti.
"Wushuang, over here!" Suddenly a voice emanated from the darkness, the sound remarkably familiar.
Lin Wushuang chuckled wryly, recognizing it as Chen Tianlong, she hurried over.
However, upon seeing Chen Tianlong, the young lady was taken aback, because Chen Tianlong was holding a small bag in his hand. Could it be that he’s gifting her sothing?
Then on second thought, Lin Wushuang found it puzzling. Today wasn’t her birthday or any special occasion. Chen Tianlong wouldn’t gift her sothing, right? Plus, when had this guy ever thought of giving her a gift? It wasn’t logical.
"Chen Tianlong, this late, why did you ask
to co to such a place?" Lin Wushuang asked calmly, but her heart anticipated Chen Tianlong’s response.
