Shen Manxuan, without thinking, continued to say, "I guess you definitely don't want to go!"
However, to Shen Manxuan's complete surprise, Liu Ergou shook his head.
"No, you're wrong, Sister Shen."
"This time, I really need to make a trip to Jingdu, and I have something to trouble you with!"
When Shen Manxuan heard Liu Ergou's words, she displayed a look of disbelief.
She hadn't expected Liu Ergou to actually follow her back.
That was more than she could have hoped for.
This way, she could find some excuse to keep Liu Ergou in Jingdu.
Then, Liu Ergou wouldn't be able to come back, and it would be more convenient for her son over here.
Of course, it wasn't entirely for Yuan Wenkang's sake; Shen Manxuan was also considering her own interests.
Thinking of this, Shen Manxuan said, "That couldn't be better. When shall we leave?"
Liu Ergou didn't even think before he replied.
"Now!"
"By the way, Sister Shen, could you help me find my master, Swallow Li, and my senior sister, Ning Hua? We're from the ancient martial arts sect, the Flying Swallow Sect. My master and my senior sister went to Jingdu."
"They are in danger now, and I would like you to find out how they are doing!"
Upon hearing Liu Ergou's request, Shen Manxuan agreed without a second thought.
"No problem, by tomorrow at the latest, you'll have news about your master and senior sister!"
"But this Flying Swallow Sect sounds familiar. Have I heard of it somewhere?"
Thinking of this, Shen Manxuan furrowed her brows and tried to recall, but she couldn't remember where she had heard of the Flying Swallow Sect.
Unable to remember, she eventually gave up thinking.
She sent a few messages on her phone, then turned to look at Liu Ergou.
And Liu Ergou didn't linger, standing up, gesturing for Shen Manxuan to lead the way, and he followed closely behind.
Soon, the two of them left the place one after the other.
On the way, Liu Ergou called his women, telling them he was going to Jingdu for a while and that they didn't need to worry; he would be back in some time.
The women naturally had no objections to Liu Ergou's words.
A moment later, Liu Ergou followed Shen Manxuan onto a plane.
And this plane was Shen Manxuan's private jet.
Soon the plane took off.
The two sat in their seats, looking at the scenery outside and savoring red wine.
Shen Manxuan was very accustomed to all this.
But for Liu Ergou, it was his first time on a plane; after taking a few glances at the scenery outside, he lost interest.
Honestly, you can't see anything outside, just clouds.
Rather than looking at these clouds, he'd rather look at Shen Manxuan, at least she was more pleasing to the eye.
Hence, Liu Ergou started staring intensely at Shen Manxuan.
At first, it was fine; Liu Ergou's gaze was normal enough, but as time passed, his gaze turned inappropriate.
It became so invasive that it made Shen Manxuan uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but ask, "Ergou, why are you staring at me like that?"
"It makes me feel really uneasy!"
Upon hearing Shen Manxuan's words, Liu Ergou chuckled, reached out, and pulled Shen Manxuan into his arms.
"Then I won't look!" Liu Ergou said. "At least let me hold you for a while, okay?"
Shen Manxuan naturally wouldn't believe Liu Ergou's words.
Let Liu Ergou hold her for a while?
He'd probably end up doing more than just holding!
However, Shen Manxuan had no way to refuse Liu Ergou; she could only let him hold her.
And, as Shen Manxuan predicted, within a few minutes.
Liu Ergou's hands began to misbehave, and after a few more minutes, Shen Manxuan's clothes disappeared again.
Soon, strange noises echoed through the plane.
In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed.
The plane landed at the airport in Jingdu.
At this time, Shen Manxuan's face was flushed, with Liu Ergou behind her looking spirited.
After disembarking, Shen Manxuan said to Liu Ergou, "Ergou, you go find a hotel outside first."
"I'm going home to handle Wenkang's situation; once I'm done, I'll take you to receive your resources. Wait and don't be anxious."
Liu Ergou reminded her.
"Don't forget about my master and senior sister!"
Shen Manxuan nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. I'll make a call to hurry things up; you'll get news soon!"
Hearing Shen Manxuan say this, Liu Ergou didn't say anything further, turned around, left the airport, and headed outside.
Upon seeing the bustling scenery outside, Liu Ergou was amazed.
Jingdu was much more lively than his own city.
It was summer.
The pedestrians in Jingdu were dressed lightly, especially the girls.
They wore short skirts, which almost made Liu Ergou's eyes pop out.
However, Liu Ergou had been through many tests; a mere short skirt couldn't make him falter.
After taking a few glances, Liu Ergou simply found a decent hotel and checked in.
Unbeknownst to Liu Ergou, as he walked into the hotel, a shadow appeared behind him, staring firmly at his back.
Watching Liu Ergou enter the hotel, the shadow then disappeared.
At the hotel, Liu Ergou took a shower first, then decided to call Ning Hua.
Soon, a notification on the phone informed him that the number he dialed was no longer in service.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that Ning Hua and Swallow Li were in quite a predicament?
But without any news about them, this troubled him quite a bit.
The more Liu Ergou thought about it, the more troubled he became, so he decided to go out and clear his mind.
Thinking this, Liu Ergou changed his clothes and headed out.
Once outside, Liu Ergou was dumbfounded.
It was his first time in Jingdu, so everything was unfamiliar to him.
Not only did he not know where to go for fun, but he couldn't even find his way.
Helplessly, Liu Ergou resorted to using a navigation system; with its help, he began wandering around Jingdu.
But as he walked, Liu Ergou unknowingly arrived at a Taoist Temple.
Looking at the temple, Liu Ergou fell into contemplation.
Why did he end up at a Taoist Temple?
Speaking of which, he had no plans of becoming a monk.
But since he was already there, Liu Ergou decided to stroll around the temple.
Just to relax.
Later, he must call Shen Manxuan to ask how the matters were progressing.
