Chapter 1604 - 1909: Ling Chen’s Suspicion (1)

Chaos... After listening to the two seniors, Ling Chen slightly frowned. It seemed like the more challenging path was yet ahead.

Unknowingly, the plane had already landed at East Sea City’s airport. Upon exiting the airport, a special vehicle was already waiting by the roadside. Soon after, a group of five finally arrived at the headquarters of Dragon Tiger Hall.

"Elder Huang, Elder Wang, let me show you around first."

"Alright, sorry for the trouble."

The two main parts of Dragon Tiger Hall are the martial arts grounds, a place to train new disciples that well demonstrates the teaching strength of Dragon Tiger Hall, and the Book Collection Pavilion. Everyone knows that the most precious part of Dragon Tiger Hall is undoubtedly the pavilion, as it contains countless martial arts secrets. This is precisely what attracts a large number of people to join.

After touring the martial arts grounds, Ling Chen led Golden Dragon and Wang Teng outside the Book Collection Pavilion. As the most important place, there were naturally heavy security measures in place. Not only were there people specially assigned to guard, but there was also the most advanced security system that required two key figures from within Dragon Tiger Hall to be present to open the pavilion doors.

Currently, He Ziyun is in charge of the Beijing branch, Tong Zhentian is still handling the martial arts association matters in Beijing, and Qiu Yong has also left. At present, the only one remaining at the East Sea City headquarters is Ling Chen. Although he couldn’t take the guests into the Book Collection Pavilion, Ling Chen still showed them the quantity and classification of the secrets within.

Ever since the establishment of the pavilion, all martial arts secrets have been systematically organized into electronic files. However, some particularly valuable martial arts have been retained in paper form to avoid electronic data leaks.

Through electronic archives, one can access the content of numerous martial arts secrets.

After over an hour of touring, Golden Dragon and Wang Teng praised the foundation of Dragon Tiger Hall highly. For any influence to grow stronger, its foundation is crucial, and Dragon Tiger Hall undoubtedly possesses such qualities. Moreover, with the support of Golden Dragon and Wang Teng, Dragon Tiger Hall is empowered with some of the previously missing elements.

After arranging accommodations for Golden Dragon and the others, Ling Chen returned to his office for a brief rest. He had already arranged with the two elders to have a meal together later. They are honored guests, so he had to show his sincerity.

Using this opportunity, Ling Chen gave Zhong Wei a call to inquire about Qiang’s situation. This mysterious Qiang suddenly appeared and recognizes only Nanrong Wanqing, whether this was coincidence or deliberate, he had to find out.

Currently, though he wasn’t beside Nanrong Wanqing, he had left Ling Gengqiu with her. Even if Qiang harbored malicious intentions, Ling Gengqiu could ensure Nanrong Wanqing’s safety.

After lunch, Ling Chen initially intended to accompany Golden Dragon and the others around East Sea City for some sightseeing, but they politely declined his offer. As Wang Teng stated, having lived in the mountains for many years, practicing self-cultivation, they didn’t quite enjoy hustle and bustle. Thus, they preferred staying in their rooms to meditate.

Ling Chen didn’t insist and, after sending the four back to Dragon Tiger Hall, he drove straight to the Nanrong Family. Entering the villa where Nanrong Wanqing resided, Ling Gengqiu was comfortably seated on the sofa with his legs crossed, with several fruit plates and tea placed nearby, attended by someone.

"Old Bro." Ling Chen stepped forward, plucking a strawberry from the fruit plate: "You sure know how to enjoy. Don’t forget what I told you."

"Relax, your girlfriend is fine, I’ve been keeping tabs on that guy. Move over, don’t block my view of the TV."

Ling Chen shook his head helplessly and asked: "Where’s Wanqing?"

"She’s in her room."

Immediately, Ling Chen headed upstairs toward Nanrong Wanqing’s bedroom door. Knock knock knock! He knocked, only entering after hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s voice from inside. The spacious bedroom seemed empty of her presence, but there was the sound of running water from the bathroom.

She was bathing, which explains why her voice was so soft outside.

"Sit for a bit, I’ll be out soon." Nanrong Wanqing’s voice came from the bathroom.

Ling Chen responded, found a chair, and sat down by himself, picking up a newspaper from the coffee table to read. The headline was striking, with bold characters: ’Tang Shiyun’s Scandalous Boyfriend Exposed’.

Seeing the headline, Ling Chen immediately focused on the photo beneath.

This photo was likely taken from a distance and amid a crowd. However, even so, Tang Shiyun’s position was clear to discern. In the photo, Tang Shiyun wore a mask and a cap, with hands wrapped around a man’s arm.

Ling Chen stared, his expression shifting slightly.

This... isn’t that himself? Ling Chen immediately realized this photo was obviously shot during the Martial Arts Tournament. These paparazzi were unexpectedly dedicated, secretly tailing Tang Shiyun. It was unfortunate the crowd and shot from afar prevented him from noticing.

Though, fortunately, despite the captured intimate actions with Tang Shiyun, the angle of the photo wasn’t quite clear, only catching his side profile without clarity. As long as it wasn’t someone who knew him, identifying him was difficult.

Just then, Nanrong Wanqing opened the bathroom door and emerged. Ling Chen raised his head, seeing Nanrong Wanqing clad in a robe, shoulders revealed, wet hair like a lotus emerging from the water, carrying a faint fragrance, alluring and captivating.

Noticing Ling Chen’s stunned gaze, Nanrong Wanqing’s pretty face slightly blushed, shyly smiling. That smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, enchanted Ling Chen, stirring an impulse within him.

It’s happening again! Ling Chen hurriedly diverted his gaze, taking a deep breath, suppressing the desires within. As his skill approached the Heavenly List realm, the Prajnaparamita Sutra had shown corresponding changes. Previously, due to the Sutra’s influence, he had little resistance against womanly charms. Now, the Sutra’s effect on the body was even stronger, leaving him uncomfortable at the slightest provocation.

Luckily, his will was resilient enough to restrain such impulses.

Ling Chen coughed lightly, forced a smile: "Wanqing, please get dressed first." He then inserted the newspaper among others to prevent Nanrong Wanqing from seeing it. Though she knew about his relationship with Tang Shiyun, such reports would inevitably make her uncomfortable.

Once Nanrong Wanqing was dressed, Ling Chen asked: "Wanqing, has Qiang acted unusually these past days?"
