My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1283: Chapter 1282: Smashed the Vase

The two quickly walked to the entrance and glanced inside. It was quite deserted, not a soul in sight. When Chen Tianlong took a closer look, he realized this was the side entrance.

"Damn, we took the wrong path." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but curse.

"...."

Tan Xianglan was speechless as well. Luckily, the driver had left; otherwise, she really might have wanted to beat him up. "Shen Tian, what do we do now? Continue taking the car to the main entrance?"

"Of course not. We’re already here; there’s no way we’re going around. I observed this place, and it seems to be the back, which has been closed for some time. There’s a partially developed wasteland inside, probably intended for some renovation," Chen Tianlong said, spreading his hands. "We can’t get in here."

"Oh, so what’s the point of all you said?" Tan Xianglan was furious with Chen Tianlong.

"Of course there’s a point. According to reason, we can’t get in, but can’t you climb?" Chen Tianlong grinned.

"What the hell, you want a girl in a short dress to climb?" Tan Xianglan glared at Chen Tianlong, exasperated.

"Hehe, how would I know? Besides, I’ve seen it before, so climbing is no big deal." Chen Tianlong chuckled mischievously.

"Get lost, stop talking and just hold me while you jump over. You’re not seriously going to climb, are you?" Tan Xianglan knew Chen Tianlong’s capabilities. There was no way he couldn’t jump over this wall, which was barely over three meters.

"Alright, but when I wrap my arm around your waist, don’t blame me," Chen Tianlong prefaced, lest this girl accuses him of feeling her up later, which would be terrible.

"Fine, fine. You’re so long-winded... ah!"

Before Tan Xianglan finished speaking, Chen Tianlong swiftly appeared beside her, held her tight, and with a powerful push off the ground, the two flew over.

"Phew...damn it, Shen Tian, you trying to scare me to death? Can’t you warn me next time?" Tan Xianglan was startled and quickly complained.

"Hehe, sorry, I just love giving people surprises," Chen Tianlong said, releasing Tan Xianglan and starting to walk ahead.

Behind the trading hall, Chen Tianlong used X-ray vision to see a crowd about two hundred meters ahead, indicating the front of the trading hall.

Seeing Chen Tianlong ignoring her and walking away, Tan Xianglan was furious and hurried after him.

However, just then, a security guard not far away blew his whistle, clearly intending to catch them. The two weren’t afraid of this security guard, but they planned to wander inside later and couldn’t be recognized.

Chen Tianlong hurriedly took off his jacket and threw it to Tan Xianglan, saying, "Cover your face quickly!"

"Huh? Why?"

"If you want to be recognized, then don’t cover up." Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, thinking this woman was a bit silly, but quite cute too.

Before Tan Xianglan could react, he grabbed her waist and used Ghost Shadow Flash to activate the Flying Shoes, making them look like they were riding a motorcycle, leaving the security guard dumbfounded.

In no time, the two disappeared from the guard’s sight.

"Phew...haha, that was close, but really fun," said Tan Xianglan, exhilarated by the thrill.

Chen Tianlong was speechless; he didn’t expect Tan Xianglan to be so playful. But having evaded the guard, they quickly blended into the trading area, where it was easy to remain unnoticed.

The two walked into an antique shop. They didn’t find the Energy Stone they needed but did see all sorts of odd things.

"Wow, so many things," Tan Xianglan exclaimed, as if discovering a new world, feeling very happy about encountering this during her first outside trip.

"What would you two like to buy? Everything here is genuine, not a single fake. Please, feel free to purchase."

Suddenly, a man in his thirties approached them, smiling.

The man appeared friendly, sporting a small beard. Chen Tianlong gave him a faint smile, saying, "Boss, let us browse first, and if we find something we like, we’ll call you over to introduce it."

"Haha, alright, young man, very straightforward, I like that. Take your time browsing while I attend to another customer."

With that, the owner left to another room, uncertain whom he was speaking with.

Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan paid no further attention to him, instead focusing on their search, with a simple goal to lay low for a while. The guard was bound to check the marketplace, but would leave if he saw no one.

They would leave later.

However, noticing the various antique vases placed precariously, Tan Xianglan realized they didn’t appear valuable—perhaps high-quality imitations. The pots and jars seemed almost ready to topple.

It all seemed like a scam; the owner constantly claimed authenticity, which was ridiculous.

If not for the owner’s kind appearance and decent attitude, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have considered hiding there.

Tan Xianglan continued browsing while seeking the Alchemy Furnace, hoping to find such an item in the antique shop. Regardless, she approached it with a playful attitude, hoping to stumble upon something, but if not, considered it part of her relaxing trip.

"Crash!"

Suddenly, a shattering sound startled both of them, and Chen Tianlong realized something had gone very wrong.

Tan Xianglan was a troublemaker. Despite knowing the precarious arrangement of these items, she was careless, and now two vases were toppled, leading to an inevitable expense.

The owner appeared instantly, seeing the shattered vase pieces on the ground, his hands slightly trembling. He squatted, picking up shards, saying, "How careless you were. These were Song Dynasty vases, worth millions. What do we do now?"

While speaking, the owner deliberately eyed Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan, clearly asking what they planned to do.

"Ahem...Boss, sorry, I didn’t realize they would fall so easily. Just a little bump caused this. My apologies, best of luck with your business and fortune, I’ll be going now," Tan Xianglan hurriedly said, pulling Chen Tianlong’s hand, ready to flee.

But just then, two men stood at the door, emerging from the room where the owner had been speaking. Tall and muscular.

Chen Tianlong instantly understood they had been caught from the start; this was clearly a black shop.

"Broke something and want to leave? You’d better settle this, or you’ll end up at the police station, facing jail time and a criminal record, in addition to paying up."

The owner’s demeanor changed dramatically, becoming extremely intense.
