Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Bai Chuwei, I’ve Got a Hold of Your Weakness Again

Early the next morning before dawn, Liao Jinjin and Tong Qingyan set off from home by car and arrived at Haicheng Airport. Following the procedures, they collected their boarding passes, went through security, and boarded the plane.

The flight wasn’t too crowded, with passengers trickling in one by one.

Tong Qingyan struggled to lift a suitcase and was about to call for a flight attendant when another slender hand reached out to help her place the luggage.

Tong Qingyan turned her head to see an exceptionally beautiful girl. Her skin was delicate and radiant, rivaling her own looks. Tong Qingyan said, "Thank you."

Liao Jinjin smiled and said, "No problem, we should be sitting in the same row."

The two took their seats and fastened their seat belts as instructed.

Liao Jinjin glanced out the window. As a practitioner, she didn’t really need to fly to Zhongzhou, but she didn’t want to disappoint Xingchen’s kind intentions.

The plane hadn’t taken off yet, so Liao Jinjin took out her phone and turned on the mobile data to send Xu Xingchen a final message: "Xingchen, I’m boarding and ready to depart ^-^"

After sending the WeChat message, Liao Jinjin noticed Tong Qingyan beside her watching her. A hint of shyness appeared on her face. "I... I was sending a message to my boyfriend, I don’t want him to worry."

They... should be considered online boyfriend and girlfriend, right?

Tong Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. So this girl, who was as beautiful as her, actually had a boyfriend? That’s good.

She nodded and said, "That’s proper. But I’m not going to send my boyfriend a message. I want to give him a big surprise!"

Thinking about the possible surprised expression on Xu Xingchen’s face, Tong Qingyan couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

This was a kind of happiness she had never experienced with Duan Family’s fourth master, Duan Feihan.

Tong Qingyan reminisced about last night. Xu Xingchen had liked her somewhat suggestive WeChat Moment; she wondered if he would have guessed that she was coming to Zhongzhou to see him. Would he come to the airport to pick her up in advance?

The two, not very familiar with each other, exchanged a few pleasantries. After the plane took off, they each put on their eye masks and rested against their seats.

Xu Xingchen slept until broad daylight. After waking up, he went to the bathroom in the dormitory to take a shower. Then he combed his hair in front of the mirror and picked out a stylish yet handsome coat to wear, feeling quite satisfied with how he looked in the mirror.

Before leaving, Xu Xingchen glanced at WeChat, feeling a bit puzzled.

Qingyan hadn’t sent him a good morning message. Usually, she would be up by this time and would punctually wish him good morning. But not today.

Maybe she overslept.

After all, it’s winter break, it’s normal.

Xu Xingchen opened the door and saw that Senior Zhou Nan from the next room was also heading out, but he was wearing a white lab coat.

Seeing Xu Xingchen’s curious look, Senior Zhou Nan gave a wry smile. "You interns are lucky to have the weekends off. My professor insists I go to the lab to help out."

Xu Xingchen was surprised. "What’s the matter?"

Senior Zhou Nan looked around and lowered his voice, "Last night, all the experts discussed how to open that Golden Coffin. They debated all night but still couldn’t figure it out!"

If they don’t open the coffin to retrieve the seal, they can’t confirm the identity of the tomb owner.

"It’s really strange. They opened so many coffins, but this Golden Coffin remains unopened. I have to hurry to the lab to assist my professor."

Xu Xingchen’s face darkened slightly at this. Would everyone be called back to work overtime? He still had to meet up with Liao Jinjin!

Pretending not to understand, Xu Xingchen immediately walked outside. As soon as he took a step, his eyes lit up with a mischievous smile.

Bai Chuwei, I’ve caught you again...
