Chapter 453: Chapter 450: Return to Shanghai

Strictly speaking, this piece of information was still useful to Xiao Tian. Although he had learned through online channels and other sources before coming to Lu Province that the Dao Yi Sect was currently understaffed, he hadn’t expected it to be this severe!

Did they really trust Saintly Virtue Daoist to guard the mountain gate alone?

Logically, leaving a person like Saintly Virtue Daoist, who isn’t known for martial prowess, to guard the mountain gate must mean they have some trump card to ensure it won’t be easily breached by enemies.

But for Xiao Tian, facing just Saintly Virtue Daoist was better than facing a dozen masters of his level!

In an instant, Xiao Tian understood the reason behind this. He considered there was still a watchful Ren Wenshan waiting for his reply and looked at him intensely, asking, ”It seems this isn’t the first time you and Lu Kai have done something like this, is it?”

Ren Wenshan hesitated upon this sudden question, unsure whether to tell Xiao Tian the truth, because if he did and the gentleman before him got angry...

But feeling the sharp, knife-like gaze locked onto his face from Xiao Tian, Ren Wenshan found himself unable to speak a lie despite wanting to several times.

Unable to lie, Ren Wenshan resigned himself to his fate, steeling his resolve and saying, ”I don’t know about before, but since I’ve been following him, including today, it’s been thirteen times!”

”Thirteen times?” This time it was Xiao Tian’s turn to be astonished: ”Was it always as easy as this time? Did you never fail? Were any of those companies a little smarter?”

Ren Wenshan’s expression fell instantly: ”Young Master Zhong, to be honest with you, this time President Le was the toughest we encountered and the only time we failed!”

”Oh?”

Xiao Tian wasn’t doubting the truth of Ren Wenshan’s words, he just couldn’t help but ask: ”How tough, exactly? Explain it in detail!”

Seeing that Xiao Tian was interested, Ren Wenshan quickly recounted the achievements of Le Yaoyao and the others from the beginning, like the quick try-out room, booking the entire place for a bath, and sleeping without undressing.

After hearing this, Xiao Tian was secretly amazed by the little girl’s wit, not expecting her to be quite reliable on her own, but somehow foolish when with himself and Lin Bingxuan!

Thinking it over, Xiao Tian could only conclude that Le Yaoyao felt very at ease when with him and Lin Bingxuan, but when out on her own she had no choice but to rely on herself!

”Alright!” Xiao Tian nodded in satisfaction: ”Because of what you’ve told me, I’ll spare your life!” With that, he gestured for Ren Wenshan to leave.

”Young Master Zhong, you can’t!” Ren Wenshan, realizing that Xiao Tian had no intention to protect him under the Lu family’s influence, almost broke into tears.

He quickly knelt on the ground, begging desperately, ”Please save my life for the invaluable information I provided you!”

Yet Xiao Tian waved it off carelessly, striding away, and said calmly, ”That information? I knew it a long time ago!”

Ren Wenshan lay on his back, utterly bewildered, realizing he had lost his gamble and everything was over!

What Ren Wenshan didn’t know was that Xiao Tian had no need for his intel. Even if all the elders of the Dao Yi Sect, along with the Sect Leader, were in the sect, he would still be determined to obtain Lin Bingxuan’s Life Seal!

——

Xiao Tian took the hotel elevator down to the first floor and was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic beauties, the models signed with Le Yaoyao’s company whom he had rescued earlier.

Even a skilled master like Xiao Tian was startled by the sudden encounter. Indeed, Le Yaoyao has good taste; each of these beauties was at least an eight in terms of looks.

However, the matter with Lin Bingxuan remained a thorn in his side, making Xiao Tian unable to appreciate these beauties around him.

”Are you the little uncle that President Le always mentions? You’re so handsome!”

”Thanks for saving us; how about we treat you to a meal?”

Just then, a newly signed beautiful model suddenly asked, ”Big brother, do you need a girlfriend?”

It was a playful comment, but once said, she felt her peers’ gazes like spotlights on her face.

”Ah!”

The newly signed beauty suddenly realized something and gasped, covering her mouth, since President Le called him little uncle, that means...

Realizing her blunder, her face turned beet red!

Fortunately, a petite figure dashed out of the crowd, hanging onto Xiao Tian, drawing everyone’s attention and getting her out of the awkward situation!

The petite figure was none other than Le Yaoyao, who, shy under the gossip-filled eyes of the beauties, buried her face in Xiao Tian’s broad chest, blushing furiously.

Keke quickly stepped forward to rescue her friend: ”What are you all looking at? Hurry and go back to the hotel to pack up and move out!”

The group complied knowingly and followed Keke back to the hotel, though not without giving Le Yaoyao encouraging looks before leaving.

Le Yaoyao wanted to express all her grievances to Xiao Tian but suddenly felt herself being gently put down.

”Yaoyao!” Xiao Tian suddenly cupped Le Yaoyao’s pretty face in his hands, causing her to catch her breath, her heart pounding like a little deer in distress.

”Listen to me!”

Things didn’t go as Le Yaoyao hoped in her imagination. Xiao Tian continued, ”Now, you take the company people and head back to Shanghai immediately.”

Le Yaoyao nodded instinctively, her mind drawing a blank.

Once she agreed, Xiao Tian led her towards the hotel entrance, calling to arrange vehicles for their return to Shanghai.

Even after leaving the hotel, Le Yaoyao felt dazed. Hearing Xiao Tian arranging for transportation, she quickly reacted, asking, ”Aren’t you coming back with us, little uncle?”

Xiao Tian furrowed his brow and could only vaguely explain, ”I have some things to deal with here. I’ll return once they’re handled.”

”Well...okay!”

Le Yaoyao’s lips moved as if to protest but she accepted, since Xiao Tian didn’t mention specifics, leaving her unable to question further. She felt somewhat upset, having so much left unsaid.

Seeing Le Yaoyao’s pouting, slightly unhappy face, Xiao Tian consoled her, ”Once it’s done, I’ll explain everything to you in detail from start to finish!”

”Really?!”

Le Yaoyao’s eyes brightened but then realized there seemed to be something more in Xiao Tian’s words. It’s his business what he does; she’s not his girlfriend, why does he owe her an explanation?

Le Yaoyao wanted to say there’s no need to explain, but felt it inappropriate, since saying it that way seemed like she was picking a petty fight as a girlfriend would.

”Really!” Xiao Tian nodded, promising earnestly.

The two stood on the roadside holding hands until a bus slowly parked in front of the hotel. Keke, along with the other beauties carrying suitcases, got off the taxi. Only then did Le Yaoyao reluctantly let go of Xiao Tian’s hand.

”Goodbye, little uncle!”

Le Yaoyao, holding back tears, waved farewell to Xiao Tian, earnestly reminding him, ”Come back soon, and promise me you won’t get hurt!”
