Chapter 470: Chapter 461: The Successive Setbacks of Chong Yin

The boarding time was approaching, and the airport ground staff came over personally to remind them.

"Mr. Chong, Mr. Shen, and both of your assistants, you can now proceed to the VIP passage for boarding."

Chong Yin stood up and glanced at Shen Yunqing again.

Last night, Xu Qingmei went berserk in the villa, and later seemed to see some news online which nearly drove her insane.

Of course, there was also the effect of the after-effects from the injury treatment he performed on Xu Qingmei.

After all, healing such a deep wound overnight could not possibly come without side effects.

Emotional instability is the least significant of these side effects.

However, he saw no need to inform Xu Qingmei about this.

Her usefulness to him at this point was merely her fame in the entertainment industry and her fans’ affection for her.

But upon realizing that the source of Xu Qingmei’s madness also involved Jiang Lingxi, he incidentally watched the program called "Inheritance."

This brought his attention to another person appearing on the program, Shen Yunqing.

Who was currently walking about a meter away from him.

Last night, seeing him through the screen was still somewhat uncertain, but now... this young man was also blessed with great fortune!

First there was Jiang Lingxi, and although Shen Yunqing didn’t quite match up to Jiang Lingxi, he was considered a paragon compared to ordinary people.

To encounter two such people in succession, both so young.

Even he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy!

However, aside from being blessed with fortune, there was something strange about Shen Yunqing.

And with his current abilities, he couldn’t discern much.

Added to that was the faintly fluctuating aura from the two young men trailing behind Shen Yunqing.

Shen Yunqing, might either be connected to a Mage, or the peculiarity about him was being shielded and concealed by a powerful Mage.

Considering this possibility, once they were in the quiet and spacious VIP passage, Chong Yin initiated conversation, "No wonder I find Mr. Shen somewhat familiar. In yesterday’s broadcast of the ’Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting’ program, Mr. Shen was one of the Judges. I recall Mr. Shen’s introduction on the show was related to a historical profession. Could this trip to Liangchuan be related to some antique requiring historical evaluation?"

Liangchuan, as an important trading hub between ancient Central Plains and Western Regions, had thrived for thousands of years, so the appearance of some antique is not at all surprising.

He thought he had picked a decent topic.

Moreover, Shen Yunqing had brought along two young men likely to be Mages, and he was indeed curious about this person’s purpose in going to Liangchuan.

If he remembered correctly, he recalled a hypothesis previously mentioned by the Sect Leader.

Shen Yunqing didn’t expect to be on the same flight as Chong Yin. For the moment, unable to discern Chong Yin’s obscure probing intentions, ignoring was the best course.

"It’s a work-related secret; no comment."

Chong Yin smiled calmly, wisely chose not to pursue further conversation.

Once on the plane, they were seated in consecutive rows.

However, with the spacious and well-serviced business class, Shen Yunqing settled in and closed his eyes for a meditative rest, and his companions, Chang Ying and Chang Fu, followed suit.

Moreover, once off the plane, they would soon head into the desert.

The desert is fraught with dangers; there would not be ample time for rest then.

Chong Yin, seated behind, glanced at the already dozed off Shen Yunqing and inhaled lightly.

The cultivation method he practiced had what he considered a rather favorable side effect—it engendered immediate goodwill from those who saw him for the first time.

As time spent together increased, this goodwill could gradually deepen, with some emotionally intense individuals reaching the point of willing to die for him.

Others might transform into fervent idolization, like Luan Feng, who would remain a loyal tool under his command. Had it not been for the rarity of this passionate idolization, he would have discarded Luan Feng after he disobeyed and independently went after Jiang Lingxi, only to fail.

The taste of a crushing defeat was unpleasant.

First Jiang Lingxi, and now there was Shen Yunqing.

Clearly not a Mage, yet entirely unaffected by him.

Viewing him no differently than anyone else.

Both carrying enticing fortunes that stirred his desire.

Indeed, while this displeased him, he couldn’t help but wonder, if he could win the willing admiration or idolization of these two, urging them to eagerly offer their fortunes unreservedly. By then, perhaps he could claim equal standing with the Sect Leader, akin to a celestial being.

Longevity, truly the most delightful word in the world!

But until the plane landed, Chong Yin never found an opportunity to speak another word to Shen Yunqing.

On the ride back to the film crew, Luan Hua dared not make a sound.

Though the adult seemed to be wearing a faint smile all along, appearing in a seemingly good mood.

Yet having been by the adult’s side for some time now, this expression was like a mask, and in actuality, the aura around was somewhat low!

By the time they reached the film crew, it was already dark, but the set was still bustling, seemingly shooting a night scene.

Luan Hua placed the luggage in the tent, "Master, please take a rest first, I’ll find the director to report back."

Chong Yin, who was ready to sit down, stood up straight at these words, "I’ll go with you."

Luan Hua wanted to ask but dared not, so eventually, the two headed to the film set in sequence.

With one glance, Chong Yin saw Jiang Lingxi quietly sitting at the edge of the set, wearing a thick coat, indicating she didn’t have a scene to film tonight and was here to observe others’ performances?

He gestured for Luan Hua to halt, then walked over on his own.

Jiang Lingxi was aware when Chong Yin looked her way but did not look back.

It wasn’t until he walked up to her, blocking her view of the acting, that she granted him a glance, "Mr. Chong, you left in such a hurry before. Now that you’re back, have you dealt with the urgent matter?"

"It was an emergency, causing Ms. Jiang’s filming schedule to be delayed for several days. I’m here to sincerely apologize to Ms. Jiang." After saying that, Chong Yin slightly bowed, appearing quite earnest.

However, in her past life, too many people had bowed to her; almost everyone she met would bow.

This courtesy from Chong Yin, while seemingly elegant and sincere to others, struck her as seven parts act and three parts insincere, and frankly, a bit of an eyesore.

"It’s good that Mr. Chong knows. In fact, not only should you apologize to me, but the entire crew has lost considerable time."

All because of your willful leave-taking!

She didn’t say this last line out loud, but expressed it with her eyes.

The smile fixed on Chong Yin’s lips nearly faltered.

"Isn’t everyone busy? I had to seek Ms. Jiang first." Pausing, he continued, "I also wanted to go over tomorrow’s scenes with Ms. Jiang first, to find..."

This time, before he could finish, Jiang Lingxi stood up, interrupting him, "Mr. Chong has had a long day; don’t worry about tomorrow’s scenes for now. Go back and rest well to recharge." With that, she walked over to Changning, who was waving at her from a short distance away.

Chong Yin turned to look in the direction Jiang Lingxi left, his extraordinarily handsome face descending into shadow, inexplicably adding a hint of hideousness.

When Jiang Lingxi reached Changning, she saw her holding a satellite phone in her other hand, already on a call.

Changning hurriedly handed over the phone, "Sir called; they have arrived in Liangchuan."

Jiang Lingxi’s hand, which was about to take the phone, paused in mid-air.

Could it really be as she had guessed?
