Chapter 680 (2/2)

“Brother Tang, we are friends, you don’t need to be overly courteous,” said Jie Walie sternly. “What I like about you is neither your money nor possessions, but you as a person!”

“The thing I’m going to gift you is not something money can buy.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “Alright, please don’t refuse it, and let’s just finish the meal first.”

“Alright, I’ll tell them to get it prepared now.”

Jie Walie was somewhat looking forward to it. He already knew that Tang Xiu was a cultivator, and therefore felt that the gift Tang Xiu wanted to give to him was probably something that countless people could only dream of obtaining.

As expected! Tang Xiu imparted him a basic cultivation technique to cultivate qi after dinner. The technique could not lead an ordinary person to be called as a cultivator, but it was still able to prolong his lifespan and strengthen his body, nonetheless. Furthermore, it was very easy to practice this cultivation technique, and Tang Xiu even gave Jie Walie a prescription to let him obtain medicinal herbs according to it and consume as a medicated diet.

With all this done, as Jie Walie was feeling grateful, Tang Xiu led Mo Awu and left the horse ranch and quickly rushed to the airport. What made him helpless was that all the flights from Kanas Airport were canceled due to bad weather. Tang Xiu did not want to waste time here and therefore took a bus with Mo Awu and rushed to the North Xinjiang Train Station overnight.

“All the train tickets have been sold out, Boss.”

Mo Awu came out of the ticket booth looking a bit helpless. It just after the New Year celebration, thus it was rush time for students and migrant workers to leave their hometowns and return to their school and work.

“It’s two in the morning now, and it seems like we can only stay here. Let’s find a hotel nearby to spend the night and then leave tomorrow morning,” said Tang Xiu.

Mo Awu silently nodded. But then, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes and he hurriedly said, “I may have another way to buy a train ticket, Boss. Just wait a bit.”

Tang Xiu watched Mo Awu leave quickly and spoke to a few furtive young men in the corner a dozen meters away. He handed over a few paper bills and then returned back with two train tickets, saying, “Boss, those guys are ticket scalpers. But we’ll need to transfer to another transportation means in Ning Province, nonetheless.”

After boarding the train, Tang Xiu and Mo Awu arrived in Ning Province in the evening. Fortunately, the ticket they bought was in couchette car, so they did not feel tired at all. Afterward, the duo rushed to Ning Province Airport without pausing to rest. After successfully buying the flight tickets, they then boarded the plane to Shanghai smoothly.

“Strange, how come no one is here?”

Tang Xiu and Mo Awu were surprised after boarding the plane since there were no passengers there at all. Other than the four flight attendants, the entire cabin was empty.

“The flight has been canceled due to the weather, Sir. However, the issue has been lifted due to the changes in the weather as well, but the passengers who originally booked the seats have already been refunded. The two Sirs may have to wait for a while since there’s still half an hour left for four flights to take off. Also, there should be some more passengers boarding later,” one of the elegant flight attendants answered.

Tang Xiu understood in a flash. After taking a seat according to the ticket number, he then waited quietly.

“Hello, Sir. There are a lot of passengers here, and I like sitting by the window. May I ask whether we can exchange seats?” A pleasant voice sounded, as a woman with an alluring figure and wearing a veil stood in the aisle next to Mo Awu and asked him.

“Exchange seats?”

Mo Awu furrowed his brows and quickly glanced around the cabin. What made him secretly vigilant was that the total passengers that boarded the plane were only five people. This also included the woman next to him. Tang Xiu, who sat by the window with his eyes shut, also heard her voice, as he opened his eyes to look around and found the same issue.

“Awu, pick any seat in the back,” said Tang Xiu calmly after glancing at the veiled female.

“Alright,” replied Mo Awu and quickly took a seat in the back row.

Tang Xiu calmly watched as the veiled woman took a seat and also smelled the fragrance she exuded out. He then let out a light smile and said, “Sure enough, it really is a small world, isn’t it, Miss Xue? The saying does have its own truth.”

Xue Yu’s eyes curved and let out a smile as she replied, “The Old Ancestress told me that you’d take this flight to Shanghai. It just so happened that I need to go to Shanghai as well to find my fiancée, and we happened to bump into each other. What is it? Don’t you want me to sit next to you, Mr. Tang?”

“Your fiancée? Is it Chu Yuan?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“Actually, I’ve seen that fiancée of mine,” said Xue Yu, shaking her head.

“Huh?” Tang Xiu was surprised. “Where is he?”

“Far from the horizon and yet right here under my nose,” said Xue Yu with a smile. “Do you really not know? Or are you intentionally playing the fool?”

Tang Xiu pointed his finger at his nose and said incredulously, “You mean, me?”

“Is there anyone else besides you in front of me?” Asked Xue Yu back with a smile.

Tang Xiu rolled his eyes at her and snappily said, “Miss Xue, you can eat whatever food you want, but don’t speak nonsensical things randomly. The room in my home has already been occupied by someone else, and I have no interest to hear such a joke.”

“Had I been unaware of your true identity, I may not be sure that you’re the first man who ever saw my face.” Xue Yu shook her head. “Mr. Tang… No, I should call you Tang Xiu. Addressing you with this name feels kinda intimate, right? Anyways, did I speak incorrectly that you’ve already seen my face back when we were in Star City, Tang Xiu?”
