Chapter 480: Chapter 478: Majestic Mount_2

"Lin Tian, are we going to Japan too?" Xiao Manxuan asked with a hint of excitement on her face, seemingly thrilled by the idea of adventuring with Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was defeated by her expression. Others would avoid such dangerous escapades, yet she actually wanted to seek them out. It appeared that growing up protected as the Miss had repressed her true nature.

He thought for a moment, about to respond, when suddenly his phone vibrated. Lin Tian took it out, only to see a message from the Miss. After reading it, his eyes widened in shock, and he couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it!"

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

Lin Tian handed her the phone with a disgruntled expression, "Take a look for yourself."

After reading it, Xiao Manxuan also let out a gasp of surprise, "My sister went to Japan too!"

The message from the Miss was indeed to inform Lin Tian; the fifth International Jewelry Design Competition had been suddenly moved to Japan, and consequently, Tianxue Jewelry’s unveiling ceremony and auction had also been relocated. Tianxue Jewelry would also participate in the competition, and the Miss had already departed for Japan at noon.

So that was it. The Miss had grand ambitions; she aimed to make a big splash with Tianxue Jewelry from the get-go. If she secured a top-three spot in the competition, both Song Yanan and Tianxue Jewelry would soar to international recognition as designers and jewelers. Lin Tian was no fool; he understood the Miss’s painstaking planning all too well. But she had left at noon and only now thought to inform him—it was enough to earn a spanking!

This time, with top-quality jade in hand and the jade carving master Song Yanan at play, such a combination stood a solid chance of striking the top three in the international contest. The unveiling ceremony, auction, and competition entry—all were part of the Miss’s powerful moves, displaying her formidable capabilities.

"Second Miss, I’ve decided. We’ll also head to Japan overnight!" Lin Tian declared.

"But we’re still dealing with Mr. Qi, unable to take him on board. How can we go?" Xiao Manxuan voiced her concerns.

"Don’t worry, I have a plan," Lin Tian reassured with a calm smile before dialing Qi Dapeng’s number, which he had received earlier from Qi Dapeng himself.

"Brother Lin, what’s the matter? It’s not about my son, is it?" Qi Dapeng asked anxiously.

But before he could finish, Lin Tian interrupted him, "Your son is fine. I need a private jet to fly to Japan within an hour. I’ll send you the address later. Additionally, get the passport formalities sorted for me and the Second Lady of Xiao. Whatever you do, make sure it’s done. If your son is delayed for too long, I can’t guarantee what might happen."

"A plane to Japan? Okay, I’ll get right on it," Qi Dapeng replied without hesitation, not daring to gamble with his son’s life.

Getting a private jet off the ground wasn’t simple, as it required going through an application process. However, that was something for Qi Dapeng to handle. How he did it didn’t concern Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, you’re amazing. How did you even think of that?" Xiao Manxue exclaimed in admiration.

However, Lin Tian replied, "Second Miss, notify the Xiao family’s driver to come here and take us to the airport. We also need to use this time to change Mr. Qi’s clothes to prevent him from getting arrested as a ghost at the airport."

They split the tasks, and while waiting, Lin Tian made some minor adjustments to Mr. Qi’s appearance, at least making him look human, though his face was a bit pale.

It wasn’t long before a middle-aged driver from the Xiao family arrived. Lin Tian instructed the driver to take him, Xiao Manxuan, and Mr. Qi to the airport in an armored vehicle.

Upon reaching the airport, Qi Dapeng was already waiting at the entrance, looking even more anxious than Lin Tian.

"Brother Lin, the plane will be ready to take off in ten minutes," Qi Dapeng reported promptly.

Efficiency is often forced out. Qi Dapeng was quick. Lin Tian nodded in acknowledgment, said no more, handed over Mr. Qi to Qi Dapeng, and they headed inside the airport.

Somehow, Qi Dapeng managed to get the airway clearance and all the exit formalities in order. That’s the advantage of wealth and connections. Lin Tian suspected that the occasional flight delays might as well be caused by these wealthy people’s last-minute takeoffs, but whatever the disruption, they could afford to compensate for it.

After passing through security, Lin Tian and the others made their way to the tarmac, where a private jet was already waiting. It looked no smaller than that of the Xiao Family’s, making transoceanic travel appear effortless.

"Lin Tian, it seems we’ve overlooked an important issue!" Just as they were boarding, Xiao Manxuan suddenly spoke.

"What issue?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled by her serious expression.

"We’ve got nothing with us but our wallets and the clothes on our backs!" exclaimed Xiao Manxuan in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s face was lined with frustration. Women always thought about carrying big and small bags, as if they’d feel insecure without them.

He flicked the little girl’s forehead, saying helplessly, "Second Miss, we’re on an urgent mission. Do you still want to go back to pack your bags? Besides, Mr. Qi is taking care of everything from food and shelter to clothing. What are you worried about?"

Qi Dapeng chimed in, "Miss Xiao, rest assured, everything is on me. Here are two cards and some cash, which I’ve already exchanged for Japan’s currency."

The little girl’s concern about the "big issue" resolved, they finally boarded the plane smoothly.

As expected, it wasn’t long after boarding that the aircraft began to taxi and take off.

The destination of this flight was Japan Kyoto City, and perhaps by coincidence or not, both the Miss and Li Qingyun were in Japan’s Kyoto City.

During the nighttime flight, Xiao Manxuan quickly fell asleep on the plane, while Lin Tian also closed his eyes to rest. Qi Dapeng, who accompanied them abroad, didn’t dare to disturb them and took care of his son by himself.

When the announcement for landing sounded, Lin Tian checked the time. It was already past one in the morning. Just a few hours prior, they were still in Huaxia Xikou City, but now they found themselves in Japan’s Kyoto.

Kyoto City is the capital of Japan, a modernized metropolis, Asia’s largest city, and one of the largest economic centers in the world. Its prosperity far exceeds that of Xikou City, and even in the wee hours, the lights of various hues continued to illuminate the city like a metropolis that never slept.

Yet Lin Tian had no leisure to admire the night view, even feeling malice toward this land, due to the indelible national hatred and family enmities between Huaxia and Japan.

"Boss Qi, please hand over Mr. Qi to me, and you don’t need to follow me anymore," Lin Tian said.

Qi Dapeng did not dare to refuse and handed over the still drowsy Mr. Qi to Lin Tian. Lin Tian, with Mr. Qi in tow, got into a taxi and showed the driver a piece of paper with the address written in three languages, which did not surprise the driver. Accustomed to all types of passengers, the driver asked no questions.

Li Qingyun had given them an address in Kyoto’s Chinese Street. Chinese Street is a hub for Chinese people, almost every city in Japan has such an enclave.

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were utterly unfamiliar with Japan’s maps and had no choice but to let the driver lead the way. With the roads much emptier at midnight, after about half an hour, they finally arrived at Chinese Street.

The entrance to Chinese Street was marked by a towering archway, with a plaque bearing the traditional Chinese characters for Chinese Street. At this time, there were very few people on the street. Occasionally, some shops open 24 hours still had their lights on, but one common feature was that all shop signs were in Chinese, providing a sense of home comfort to Chinese living in a foreign land.

"Lin Tian, the address says it’s the South Ocean Crafts Shop. Could it be that this Li Qingyun owns a chain, even here in Japan?" Xiao Manxuan curiously examined the archway and asked.

"I don’t know if it’s a chain or not, but I do know that Li Qingyun’s identity is not simple. Stop wondering, let’s go. We need to find Li Qingyun fast and extract the Soul-devouring Gu from Mr. Qi’s body in order to prepare the Gu Medicine that grants immunity against Gu worms," said Lin Tian as he led the way into Chinese Street, with Xiao Manxuan following quickly.

Within a few minutes, Lin Tian spotted a shop sign in the distance that read "South Ocean Crafts."

"Lin Tian, we’ve arrived," Xiao Manxuan exclaimed with delight as she saw it.

No sooner had her words faded when a familiar voice came from behind: "You guys? What are you doing here?"
