Yu Wei saw Xia Lin beaming and spoke even more shamelessly: "Oh my, who is this beautiful lady going out? You've stunned me."
Yu Wei put on a show of surprise, even shielding his eyes with his hand, which drew bursts of laughter from everyone.
"Alright, stop bragging. Did you buy the tickets?" Xia Lin asked, laughing so hard she could barely stand.
"I did. Just waiting for you all," Yu Wei said, pulling out a stack of tickets from his pocket and shaking them.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is my good sister, Liu Jingru," Xia Lin said, then pointed to Yu Wei. "Jingru, this is Yu Wei, young master Yu. He's good friends with young master Wang and the others."
"Hello, beautiful lady. As expected of Lin's good sister, you're also incredibly beautiful. You're breathtaking," Yu Wei greeted her proactively.
"Hello, young master Yu." Liu Jingru giggled, covering her mouth.
Seeing Yu Wei's shameless behavior, National Little Wang felt utterly speechless.
Just then, Qin Dou parked the car and walked over. Seeing them all laughing so heartily, he approached and asked curiously, "What's so amusing?"
"You missed Yu Fatty's performance just now. It was truly eye-opening," National Little Wang said.
"It seems I've missed something interesting," Qin Dou said with a look of regret.
The group ordered some milk tea at a shop outside the main entrance of Disneyland while waiting for Jiang Xin and the others to arrive.
Midway through their milk tea, Jiang Xin and three others arrived. Xia Lin then introduced Liu Jingru to Zheng Qingya.
The nine of them spent the entire day at Disneyland, all enjoying themselves thoroughly. Yu Wei, in particular, felt that Xia Lin's favor towards him had increased significantly. With one or two more encounters, he felt he could soon secure the position of the fourth "lapdog."
If the four young masters of Modu were to be lapdogs, they might as well occupy the top four positions.
It was still early. In the future, great young masters from Kyoto would surely come crawling to be lapdogs. If they didn't seize this opportunity now, when would they?
The next day.
At a private club in Modu, Pu Zaiye was cautiously attending to three individuals.
"Ancestor, the origin of this matter is a woman named Jin Xiaochen. Should we capture her?" Gu Zhe asked, sitting in a lower position, crouching slightly as he spoke to Hong Ben Zong.
"Foolish! How can we cultivators lay hands on ordinary women from the mortal world? If this gets out, where will I hide my old face?"
Hong Ben Zong glared at Gu Zhe, his gaze carrying a warning.
His primary purpose for coming out of seclusion was to retrieve someone. Furthermore, with their strength, they could venture out to see if there were any rumors.
They also wanted to test if the group who established the cultivator's covenant had made any moves.
Hong Ben Zong was a cultivator at the level of a Land Immortal. He disdained doing such things.
The strong had their pride, and certain actions had bottom lines.
"Little Gu, as the sect leader of the Laoshan Sect, you shouldn't say such things," Murong Tiangu also shook his head.
"Would these powerful cultivators stoop to such petty, underhanded tactics as capturing an ordinary woman to coerce the Dragon Group into releasing someone?"
"Aren't you being ridiculous?"
"Besides, she's just an ordinary person. Do you think the Dragon Group would agree?"
It was fortunate that Gu Zhe wasn't his subordinate; otherwise, Murong Tiangu would have berated him severely.
"You're a Grandmaster-level expert yourself. To utter such a brainless statement is truly laughable."
Gu Zhe listened, not daring to breathe. He knew he had spoken out of turn.
Never mind that the Ancestor and Murong Tiangu were Land Immortals; even he, as a Grandmaster, would find such actions shameful.
"Ancestor, Uncle Murong, I know I was wrong," Gu Zhe apologized immediately.
"However, there is a reason for this. All of this stemmed from this woman, Jin Xiaochen. Notify her and tell her we are here to demand the release of our people." To salvage the reputation of the Laoshan Sect, Hong Ben Zong specifically instructed to inform Jin Xiaochen.
This way, even though Gu Zhe's initial approach was incorrect, he had at least identified the problem clearly.
The first time, it was because of Jin Xiaochen that Mu Rongchenggong was captured by the Dragon Group. The second time, it was again related to kidnapping Jin Xiaochen, resulting in the capture of the Great Elder and the Third Elder. Therefore, the third time, they would still find Jin Xiaochen and make the Dragon Group come out to find them.
"Yes, Ancestor," Gu Zhe stood up and quickly responded. He knew the Ancestor was helping him save face.
"Zaiye, go contact Jin Xiaochen and explain our intentions," Gu Zhe didn't know how to contact her and thus assigned the task to Pu Zaiye.
"Yes, Sect Leader," Pu Zaiye replied.
Pu Zaiye couldn't directly contact Jin Xiaochen, but he could contact Zheng Bing.
It was Zheng Bing who had helped them contact her last time. Afterward, Zheng Bing had given his contact information to Mu Rongchenggong, but Mu Rongchenggong was already dead.
He first called Zheng Bing and asked for Jin Xiaochen's contact information. Zheng Bing was evasive and didn't give a clear answer, only saying he would wait.
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Bing immediately called Xia Lin.
Last time, Xia Lin had also thanked him regarding Jin Xiaochen. This time, it was again about Jin Xiaochen, and Zheng Bing finally had an opportunity to call Xia Lin.
Zheng Bing suddenly realized that Jin Xiaochen seemed to be his lucky star. He decided to become a fan of Jin Xiaochen and support all her future television shows.
With an excited heart, Zheng Bing dialed Xia Lin's number. As soon as the call was connected, Zheng Bing excitedly greeted her.
"Miss Xia, this is Zheng Bing. I have something to report to you."
"Oh, it's young master Zheng. What is it?" Xia Lin asked.
"The group who kidnapped Jin Xiaochen last time has returned. They just asked me for Jin Xiaochen's contact information. I didn't give it to them and called you immediately," Zheng Bing stated truthfully.
Xia Lin was speechless upon hearing this. She wondered why this issue seemed endless, happening again and again.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you," Xia Lin said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. It's what I should do," Zheng Bing replied joyfully.
"Then I won't chat with you any longer. I need to inform my brother," Xia Lin said.
"Okay, you're busy. Goodbye."
After hanging up, Zheng Bing immediately turned off his phone to avoid Pu Zaiye calling again to ask.
Xia Lin, after hanging up the phone, ran upstairs with her mobile.
"Brother, it's really urgent this time. I'm coming in!" Xia Lin knocked on Xia Feng's door and called out loudly.
"Come in," Xia Feng replied.
Xia Lin immediately pushed the door open and rushed in, saying breathlessly, "Brother, the group that kidnapped Jin Xiaochen last time is back. They even asked Zheng Bing for Jin Xiaochen's phone number."
Xia Feng's brow furrowed. They were truly relentless. If he didn't punish them, wouldn't they fail to learn their lesson?
He had warned them last time. If they dared to offend again, Xia Feng wouldn't mind visiting them personally to flatten them.
He hadn't expected only a few days to pass before they returned.
"Don't worry. It's a minor matter. Leave it to me," Xia Feng said with a smile, trying to comfort her.
"Brother, who exactly are they? Are they cultivators too?" Xia Lin asked curiously.
"Why are these people targeting Jin Xiaochen specifically?"
"Yes," Xia Feng nodded.
"In that case, Brother, will it be dangerous for you to go?" Xia Lin asked worriedly.
Xia Feng smiled, his face filled with confidence as he said to Xia Lin:
"They are not worth mentioning."
