“Take care.”
At the exit of the carriage, a young and beautiful stewardess bent over to bid farewell to the only passenger.
Chen Mobai thanked her and, carrying his backpack, he followed the special passage she pointed out.
After a long corridor, he arrived at a luxuriously decorated lounge. The lounge was situated right at the center of the station, surrounded on all sides by translucent glass. Chen Mobai glanced around and found that he cou see the outside through the glass, but people outside seemed unable to see inside.
“Hello, are you a student at Dance Tool Dao Academy?
A female staff member dressed in a blue uniform approached him; her tone was soft, her face bearing a gentle smile.
“Yes.”
“Please rest here for a while. Your school’s shuttle will arrive in twenty minutes. Would you like something to drink?”
Chen requested a glass of water, then settled himself on a small couch. He looked around and saw that there were, including him, six people in the lounge: three adults and two youngsters, a boy and a girl, around his age.
The boy had a youthful face, deeply engrossed in a Rubik’s cube he held in his hands.
The girl was sitting sideways to him, her face half-covered by a face mask as she focused on her phone.
After observing them for a moment, Chen was about to take out the Two-Phase Gong to meditate when he suddenly saw something, causing him to take another glance at the girl.
She seemed familiar to him, maybe because her attire was too similar to Qing
Nu’S.
“Those two are also students from your school.”
The staff member set down a glass of water on the table in front of him, and
she said quietly.
Chen Mobai nodded briefly.
The immortal Sects had thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, an innumerable number of geniuses.
Since he was able to gain admission to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, naturally, there would be others who were as brilliant, or even more stunning than him, who were also admitted.
He wondered what their background was?
Chen Mobai was not a sociable person thus he did not take the initiative to introduce himself.
The other two seemed to be the same; all three of them sat quietly in their own
seats.
Conversely, the three older cultivators sat together, laughing and chatting, apparently people of some status in their sects. They seemed to be aware of them being students of Dance Tool Dao Academy, their gaze occasionally resting on them.
“Sir, the shuttle is here. Do you need help with your luggage?
Chen Mobai only carried a backpack; he shook his head – he could handle it himself.
The staff member similarly asked the others, all of whom also declined.
“Please.”
The door to the lounge opened, and Chen Mobai who was sitting closest walked out first, only to find many passengers gathered on either side of the door. Seemingly aware that there were new students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy inside, they constantly took snapshots with their phones.
“It shouldn’t be…”
Chen Mobai was perplexed. Even though the Dance Tool Dao Academy was famous, people from Crimson City came across them daily, so why such a frenzy?
He took out a cap from his backpack and put it on, hiding his face. His sister, Wang Xinying, had gifted him with this cap when he left Red Sandstone City; now it came in handy.
A shuttle with only two rows of seats stopped at the doorway. The driver came out and motioned for Chen Mobai to sit in the back row.
The young boy exited shortly after, taking up the shotgun seat.
The girl came out last. Now, Chen Mobai could finally see her in full: a tight yellow dress beautifully outlined her slender waist and long legs.
The hem of the dress ended just above her knees, revealing a section of her perfectly white and delicate thighs, as well as her straight and beautiful calves Adding to this was her white pointed heels, revealing the most beautiful pair 0 legs Chen Mobai had ever seen.
With only one seat left, she had no option but to sit beside Chen Mobai. In addition to her previous features, she now wore a pair of sunglasses, disguising almost all of her face with her face mask.
“Odd person.”
That was Chen Mobai’s silent judgement of her. He let down his backpack from his shoulder and placed it beside his feet.
“Please make sure you haven’t left anything behind, we’re about to depart.” After the shuttle bus driver said this, he sat down in his seat and started driving towards the exit.
Many people lingering outside the lounge became suddenly excited on sighting the girl by Chen Mobai’s side.
“That must be Meng Huang!”
“Only she would conceal her identity.”
“Quick, quick…”
In the frenzy of shutter clicks, Chen Mobai noticed many covert paparazzi hiding in the crowd, taking shots of them continuously.
Wait a minute, they were saying… Meng Huang!
Chen Mobai swiftly turned his head to look at the slender girl next to him, decked out in a mask and sunglasses. It was no wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity the moment he saw her.
It was actually her!
One of the two main stars of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, hailed as the musical genius most likely to master the “Shocking God Sonata.” Back in Red Sandstone City, he and Qing Nu had once gone together to watch her perform.
Back then, he and Qing Nu each had specific goals: he was there for Meng Huang while Qing Nu was there for Jiang Yuyuan.
For this reason, he had a deep impression of Meng Huang. After all, this was his first close encounter with a mega-celebrity. He almost forgot that she was also a student at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Her teacher, Bian Yiqing, was the person who enabled Chen Mobai to enroll in the school.
Seeing the press surrounding her from all sides, Meng Huang sighed, shrinking further into her seat, hoping to vanish under the glare of the camera flashes.
“Master, we should leave quickly.” Chen Mobai called out to the stunned driver. He quickly took off his own hat and placed it on Meng Huang’s head, helping her block all the flashes.
“Oh, sure!”
Immediately, a station staff member came over and unleashed a Magic Artifact to create a path for their shuttle.
“Thank you.”
Chen Mobai unexpectedly heard a soft whisper of gratitude. He almost thought he had misheard.
“You’re welcome. I owe a favor to teacher Bian. If I come across a situation like yours, rd definitely help.”
Meng Huang lifted her head and stole a glance at Chen Mobai. Her clear eyes sparkled behind the sunglasses, then she nodded her head again to express her thanks.
“To think we’d be at the same station as Meng Huang.”
At another end, Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu, carrying their luggage, had just cleared security and entered the main hall. Upon hearing the hubbub around them and learning what had transpired, Gu Mingxuan couldn’t resist showing his disappointment.
This was the goddess of his dreams. If he’d known, he would have left his baggage behind for a chance to glimpse her true face.
“Hey!”
At that moment, Wen Xiong sauntered over, acting all cool in front of Shi Wanyu and left her a remark.
“I’ll prove that your choice was wrong. I’m stronger than that guy.” Having said that, he walked off immediately.
Leaving Shi Wanyu gaping, completely clueless as to what he was talking about.
-I’ve got a front view shot of Meng Huang, who wants it? Selling with negatives for 2000 Good Deed Points, a one-off deal!
At that moment, a paparazzo inside the station was naming his price for Meng Huang’s photos, which were quickly snapped up by a mysterious buyer.
“Who still uses film these days.”
GU Mingxuan clicked his tongue and then pulled out his phone to check the Meng Huang fan community.
Sure enough, plenty of pictures from today had been uploaded.
Then he opened his eyes wide in surprise..
