Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The School Beauty Moves In

The train conductor came by to check the identities of the two burly men and confirmed that they were fugitives. At the next stop, they were handed over to the local authorities.

The girl had a narrow escape and was endlessly grateful to Chen Fan. She said she was also heading to Binhai City, so she did not get off and instead bought a ticket for Binhai.

"My name is Ling Xiaohan, and I’m a student at Binhai University. I was traveling alone and didn’t expect to run into such bad luck. If it weren’t for you, Brother Chen Fan, I might have really been sold off into some mountain ravine," Ling Xiaohan expressed with joy, feeling like she had survived a disaster.

Chen Fan chuckled, "In the future, it’s better to travel with friends. It’s too dangerous to go alone."

Ling Xiaohan nodded earnestly and then made a gesture of clasping her fists to Chen Fan, "Brother Chen Fan, you saved my life. I can’t ever repay your kindness. How about this, from today, I’ll acknowledge you as my big brother. When I make it big in the future, I’ll make sure to take good care of you, what do you say?"

Chen Fan laughed, seeing the sudden show of heroism from Ling Xiaohan.

Martial arts flourished in Binhai, and Ling Xiaohan was likely influenced by the local Martial Arts Circle, which explained her impressive display.

Not wanting to refuse Ling Xiaohan’s good intentions, he nodded in agreement.

Ling Xiaohan smiled sweetly and then, remembering something, asked Chen Fan, "Brother Chen Fan, back then I didn’t see your lips move, but I heard you speak. How did you do that?"

Chen Fan joked, "If I said it was a special ability, would you believe me?"

Ling Xiaohan immediately said, "I believe!"

Chen Fan’s face showed surprise, "You believe that?"

Ling Xiaohan nodded seriously, "Yes, my roommate also has special abilities, so I know that there are indeed some very special people in this world."

Chen Fan was curious, "What special ability does your roommate have?"

Ling Xiaohan replied, "She can perform mind reading. She takes a deck of cards, lets me choose any card, and no matter what I pick, she can always guess which one I chose. What’s even more amazing is that she can always tell whether I’m in a good mood or not. If that’s not mind reading, what is?"

Chen Fan was caught between laughter and tears, thinking to himself that her mood was clear as day on her face, and even he could tell.

"She’s such an innocent girl," Chen Fan thought to himself.

After a full day’s journey, the train finally arrived in Binhai City as night fell.

Binhai is located near the coast, with many ports and thriving trade, leading to advanced economic development. From a distance, Chen Fan could see rows of towering skyscrapers.

The climate here was humid, with the occasional sea breeze blowing through, quite comfortable.

As they were about to disembark, Ling Xiaohan asked Chen Fan, "By the way, Brother Chen Fan, what brings you to Binhai this time?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment, "To collect a debt."

"Someone owes you money?"

Chen Fan nodded.

Ling Xiaohan thought to herself that Brother Chen Fan, dressed so simply, must be from a family of modest means. Coming to Binhai to collect a debt, he might have been shortchanged while working for someone.

The rapid economic development in Binhai also meant high living costs; just staying one night could cost hundreds or even thousands.

Since Chen Fan had saved her, she felt she should show her gratitude. Even if she couldn’t help him a great deal, she could at least save him some money.

So, she batted her large eyes and asked, "Brother Chen Fan, have you booked a hotel yet?"

Chen Fan replied, "Not yet, I’ll look for one once we arrive."

Ling Xiaohan hurriedly said, "Forget about booking, come back with me. My roommate and I rent a three-bedroom apartment, and there’s an empty room. You can stay with us during your time in Binhai."

Martial Arts refused, "No need, I’ll just book a hotel. Besides, it’s not quite appropriate for me, a strange man, to stay with you girls."

Ling Xiaohan said, "There’s nothing inappropriate about it! Martial Arts, you’re a good person, and I can tell that much."

Martial Arts thought to himself, if that’s the case, how did you still get kidnapped by human traffickers? Being too naive is bound to lead to trouble, "Don’t worry about me, I can find a hotel myself."

Seeing that Martial Arts was not agreeing, Ling Xiaohan immediately changed her approach, "Martial Arts, actually I’m still quite scared, having just experienced that kind of thing. I’m still frightened, and I was thinking that with someone as powerful as Martial Arts around, I’d feel safe. So please come back with me, otherwise I won’t be able to step out of the shadows. Please."

Martial Arts looked at Ling Xiaohan’s pitiful appearance with a feeling of helplessness. Thinking that he had to stay somewhere anyway, he reluctantly nodded, "Alright then."

Ling Xiaohan’s face lit up with happiness, "Although I’m just studying in Binhai, I’m also a bit of a host. When I have time, I’ll show Martial Arts around Binhai."

The train arrived at the station, and the two of them exited the station together and took a taxi to their destination.

After a while, the taxi stopped in front of a high-class neighborhood not far from the city center.

Ling Xiaohan led Martial Arts inside.

Martial Arts looked around the neighborhood and murmured to himself, "Looks like this girl is from a not so ordinary family."

The two reached a building and took the elevator up.

Ling Xiaohan walked ahead and pressed the doorbell. Shortly after, the door opened to reveal a girl with a stunning figure dressed in tight yoga pants, with a body shaped like an ’S’ curve, cascading hair, a dazzlingly beautiful face, and a touch of laziness in her captivating eyes.

Ling Xiaohan immediately hugged her, "Weiwei, I almost got taken by human traffickers, I was so scared, wuwuwu..."

Gao Weiwei frowned and her gaze fell on Martial Arts, "Is this the trafficker?"

Ling Xiaohan quickly explained, "How could that be possible! This is Martial Arts, if it wasn’t for him stepping in to help, you might never see me again."

She brought Martial Arts into the house with her, closed the door, recounted her experiences, and asked Gao Weiwei if she minded him staying.

Gao Weiwei sized up Martial Arts.

Ordinary looking.

Doesn’t seem like a bad guy.

Since he saved Xiaohan, let him stay a few days.

"It’s okay, but he must promise not to harbor any improper thoughts towards us. You know how some men can seem harmless on the surface but are actually filthy inside," Gao Weiwei spoke up.

Ling Xiaohan laughed, "Oh, you’re thinking too much, Martial Arts is not that kind of person."

Then she looked at Martial Arts, "Don’t mind her, Weiwei is the recognized beauty of Binhai University, with all sorts of people chasing her, so she’s quite vigilant."

Gao Weiwei, upon hearing the word ’beauty’, couldn’t help but puff out her chest and sneak a peek at Martial Arts’s reaction, "He probably has never lived with a beauty like me before, must be so excited inside."

However, Martial Arts just casually said, "No problem."

Indeed, Gao Weiwei was beautiful and had a sexy figure, but Martial Arts had Qingyan, a peerless immortal for a girlfriend, and was surrounded by beauties like Shen Lingdie, Su Jinyun, and Yang Tianzhen, so his standards were naturally very high.

Of course, he wouldn’t show any reaction to the so-called beauty.

Gao Weiwei was astounded to see only this reaction from Martial Arts, feeling somewhat looked down upon.

"He must be putting on an act, just trying to attract my attention. I’ve seen this trick a lot," Gao Weiwei thought contemptuously.

She rolled her big eyes and then suddenly released an invisible force, enveloping Martial Arts with it.
