Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Arrival in City B
President Qu Lin glanced at Xun Tianhai, with a subtle look of scrutiny in his eyes.
Xun Tianhai looked calm and, noticing he was being watched, asked, "Is there something else, President?"
Seeing his composed demeanor, as if there was nothing special, President Qu Lin smiled faintly, "Nothing much, just wanted to tell you, Tianhai, you and Changfeng are our successors. In this competition, both of you have to participate, so be very careful."
Xun Tianhai nodded, looking serious, "Rest assured, President. Old Bai and I understand what’s at stake."
President Qu Lin solemnly patted his shoulder, smiling at him like a senior showing care to a junior, and then turned to walk towards the association building.
Xun Tianhai watched President Qu Lin’s back, feeling slightly doubtful inside.
He felt that President Qu Lin was still the same president, with nothing different about him.
However...
Since Bai Changfeng said so, he thought it would be best to remain cautious.
Thinking of this, Xun Tianhai continued to arrange for Jiangli and others’ accommodation upon arriving.
Xun Tianhai was partial to Jiangli and naturally wanted to arrange a better place for Jiangli and Xia Xin to stay.
The next afternoon, Jiangli and the other three from Jiaoyang Temple set out for City B.
Xia Xin was a little stunned to see Fu’er and Master Wu tagging along.
Initially, he thought it would just be him and Jiangli going, but then just as they were about to leave, Jiangli suddenly insisted that Fu’er and Master Wu accompany them.
Luckily, there were still tickets available on the same flight.
He confusedly booked tickets for both Fu’er and Master Wu.
As for Fu’er’s identity information...
He didn’t know how Jiangli and Fu’er managed it, but they got through the ticket verification system.
The four of them ended up sitting together on the plane.
Xia Xin looked at Fu’er and Master Wu, puzzled, and whispered to Jiangli, "Old Ancestor, why take Fu’er and Master Wu along? There’s an age limit for participants, only those under thirty-five can join, and they seem ineligible."
He cautiously reminded.
Jiangli nonchalantly replied, "I know."
Xia Xin: "..."
"Then why bring them?"
Jiangli put on the eye mask offered by the flight attendant and said, "Let them learn, see that there are always people better than you, isn’t that good?"
Xia Xin scratched his head, seeming not to disagree, and acknowledged.
Seeing Jiangli covering with a blanket as if she was going to nap, Xia Xin didn’t say anything further.
Under the eye mask, Jiangli wasn’t asleep, as a series of images played through her mind like a carousel.
As they cycled through, those images finally settled on Fu Shiyan.
Strangely enough,
Since yesterday, she hadn’t received any message from Fu Shiyan.
Lately, whenever he had free time, Fu Shiyan would ’bother’ Jiangli, chatting with her, talking about his day, or complaining about his workload.
But from yesterday until now, Fu Shiyan hadn’t sent any messages.
Jiangli wanted to message him and ask what was up, but she didn’t know what to say.
It was always Fu Shiyan who reached out to her, and now that she had to reach out first, she didn’t know how to start.
So, she didn’t reach out to Fu Shiyan proactively.
Yet, the more she refrained from contacting him, the more concerned she became.
This was a bit unlike her.
Under the eye mask, Jiangli frowned slightly, pondering with a bit of a headache about what was going on.
...
The flight at one-thirty landed in City B at four in the afternoon.
Xun Tianhai had gotten their flight information early and had been waiting by the passageway.
Seeing them come out, he immediately went to receive Jiangli and the others.
Since this trip was for the competition and required some time, Jiangli, Xia Xin, and the others had brought quite a bit of luggage with them.
