Chapter 1733 - 1730: A Chance Encounter
"Innate Early Stage?" Xu Feibai chuckled softly, and said indifferently, "Your information is outdated. Wang Wanxi is already a Mid Innate expert. If she has the Wang Family’s Lifeless Sword in hand, it would be a piece of cake for her to destroy you all, something even I wouldn’t underestimate."
"Mid Innate!" The two exchanged glances, their faces full of shock.
Xu Feibai glanced at their stunned expressions and remained aloof, "Wang Wanxi was already an extraordinarily talented person, and with deep cultivation accumulated over twenty years, coupled with a mindset tempered by life and death, she naturally blends perfectly with the Yin Yang Secret of the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture. Once she gains the upper hand, she is sure to fly high and reach the pinnacle of her cultivation path."
Yasuo and another young man looked at each other, evidently not comprehending what Xu Feibai was saying.
Xu Feibai shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly, "Ha, why am I even telling you this? If Lin Tian were here, he would definitely understand what I’m saying."
Hearing Xu Feibai say this, Yasuo showed no reaction, but the other young man had a flash of jealousy and malice in his eyes.
"Master, if Wang Wanxi is holding the fort, how can we obtain the Eye of the Creator?" Yasuo was more concerned about the Eye of the Creator because it would determine if he could restore his peak strength, or even surpass it.
"Who says obtaining the Eye of the Creator requires force? Intelligence is also a form of personal strength. This time the old Earl donated the diamond, he didn’t mention anything about fighting for it by force; it’s all about fate. If luck favors you, even an ordinary person could obtain it."
Xu Feibai’s eyes flashed. He actually knew that this so-called luck and fate were the old Earl’s deceit. If an ordinary person truly got the Eye of the Creator, it would be their misfortune.
The Eye of the Creator, filled with cursed power, is not something anyone can possess. Otherwise, why would the old Earl donate it?
"I understand." Yasuo slightly bowed his head, a look of respect on his face.
Xu Feibai said nothing more, only waved his hand. The two understood and respectfully withdrew.
Once they left, Xu Feibai gazed into the distance and suddenly revealed a playful smile, "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, would you be surprised if you saw this young man?"
As he said this, Xu Feibai resembled a mischievous boy.
Lin Tian naturally didn’t know someone was discussing him behind his back. At this moment, he, along with Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiao Tian, arrived at Jinghua City International Airport.
"The airport? Are we going directly? Not waiting for Aunt Wang?" Lin Tian stepped out of the car, seeing the entrance to the airport, and found it quite odd.
Yun Xiao Tian gestured for the driver to first send the car back, then said, "Mom needs to go back to the Wang Family first. She’ll fly directly from the Wang Family to Zhonghai City. There’s an airport there as well, which is very convenient."
Back to the Wang Family? Lin Tian’s heart stirred as if he guessed something, but before he could think further, Xiao Manxuan suddenly patted him and shouted, "Lin Tian, look quickly, who’s that?"
Both Lin Tian and Yun Xiao Tian, puzzled, followed her gaze to see two women. One was dressed fashionably and elegantly, with a tall figure, but her large sunglasses covered half her face.
The other was dressed plainly but had a decent figure, with a pure and sweet face. Her fair face was beaded with sweat as she held onto a large suitcase, clearly struggling with it due to her petite stature.
"It’s actually them. It’s a small world." Lin Tian frowned slightly.
Even with her face partially covered by sunglasses, Lin Tian recognized her at once as the famous celebrity Bitong. Beside her, the pure young girl was her assistant, Tian Xiaotian, who was as sweet as her name.
"Brother Lin has a conflict with her?" Yun Xiao Tian asked curiously.
"You could say there’s some friction." Lin Tian smiled faintly and then recounted what happened at the welcome party.
Hearing about Bitong’s abuse of her assistant, her arrogance, and her deceit, the usually gentle Yun Xiao Tian frowned deeply, his fair face full of displeasure.
Tian Xiaotian, struggling with her luggage, paused and looked back to see Lin Tian and the others. The young girl was momentarily stunned. Seeing her assistant falling behind, Bitong harshly said, "Hurry up, don’t hold up the flight. This event in Zhonghai City is very important. If delayed, even selling you wouldn’t make up for it."
The young girl glanced at Lin Tian and continued to drag her luggage, soon disappearing with Bitong into the airport.
"Zhonghai City?" Lin Tian’s heart stirred slightly, surprised that they were heading to Zhonghai City as well.
"Does Brother Lin want to teach her a lesson?" Yun Xiao Tian asked.
"Forget it, we won’t see each other again anyway. There’s no point wasting time." Lin Tian replied indifferently, then picked up his luggage and entered the airport.
In the waiting lounge, they didn’t have to wait long before boarding began. In first class, Lin Tian and the others saw Bitong again, but she was deep inside, unaware of their presence.
With the sweet voice of the flight attendant, the plane soared into the sky, heading for Zhonghai City. Lin Tian, who usually encountered trouble on flights, for once experienced a peaceful journey without any unpleasant incidents.
The flight from Jinghua City to Zhonghai City wasn’t far. After about two hours, around eleven o’clock, the flight attendant announced their descent to Zhonghai City East City International Airport.
After a smooth landing and a halt, the cabin door opened. While Lin Tian and the others gathered their small belongings, Bitong and Tian Xiaotian disembarked first, with Bitong still oblivious to Lin Tian’s presence.
Lin Tian and the others retrieved their luggage and subsequently also left the plane. Yun Xiao Tian wanted to head towards the VIP passage, but Lin Tian quickly stopped him.
"Let’s take the regular passage. With Bitong’s flamboyant personality, there are surely hordes of fans at the VIP entrance. It would be faster through the regular passage. Unless you use your connections to have the airport management cancel the fan meeting." Lin Tian joked.
Lin Tian had no doubt Yun Xiao Tian had such influence. Although the Yun Family was based in Jinghua City, their influence was widespread. Canceling a fan meeting was a trivial matter.
Following the crowd, the trio exited the airport and indeed saw many wandering fans outside, unable to get into the VIP exit.
Bitong’s fan base was undeniably strong. The company had packaged her image excellently, always casting her in positive roles in TV and movies.
Many fans chased stars without much thought, believing that since actors played virtuous roles in dramas, they must be good people in real life. Little did they know that the real Bitong was quite the opposite.
"Second Miss, Mr. Lin..." A young woman approached the trio, familiarly calling out their names.
"Sister Xu, why are you here to pick us up?" Xiao Manxuan exclaimed happily at the familiar face, looking as delighted as if reuniting with a relative.
