My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1284: Three on the Run

"Huh? Why is that?" Yan Zheng was a bit puzzled and genuinely asked back.

"...," Chen Tianlong also didn’t know what to say, this guy actually asked why.

"Well... if we let you go after you know the situation, you’d probably call the police, and then they wouldn’t be able to escape when the police arrive." Tan Xianglan couldn’t help explaining from the side.

"Wow, so that’s it, thank you, beautiful lady, hehe, my name is Yan Zheng." Yan Zheng was so excited when the pretty lady talked to him that he forgot about his own predicament.

Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly. This guy is really something else; truly a rookie unafraid of anything. Judging from his age, he must still be a student like himself.

Thinking about himself, if it weren’t for all the experiences he had in society, he’d be just as naive, knowing nothing at all.

Tan Xianglan smiled, finding this scenario not bad. After coming out, she encountered two guys, one was Chen Tianlong, and the other was Yan Zheng.

And Yan Zheng was clearly her type; gentle towards people, unlike Chen Tianlong, who was fierce and always argued with her.

"Enough, do you think this is a dance party? You’re still flirting, take them all back to the room." The boss couldn’t stand watching any longer, seeing how Yan Zheng acted so nonchalantly even after causing trouble.

"Oh, boss, I forgot to tell you, I’m not interested in playing anymore. Initially, I had two thousand cash for you to settle the matter without making a scene, but I’m not giving it now." Chen Tianlong sneered coldly, pulled Tan Xianglan along, and said, "Xianglan, let’s go."

Tan Xianglan was taken aback, then understood Chen Tianlong’s intention. Although it was only natural to pay for breaking someone’s things, this was clearly a scam, disrespect started from them, so why should they be overly respectful?

"Damn, you think I’m invisible, huh? Grab them!" The boss ordered again, and two burly men started to grab them. Just as they charged over, Chen Tianlong dodged behind them and kicked one of the men in the butt, causing him to stagger and fall into a shelf holding antiques, creating a spectacular scene of crashing antiques all over the place.

Tan Xianglan covered her eyes, unable to bear watching.

Chen Tianlong, however, grabbed Tan Xianglan’s hand and shouted to Yan Zheng on the side, "Friend, run! What are you standing there for?"

With that, the three of them started running. Yan Zheng initially didn’t plan to run, but seeing the crashing antiques, he realized staying would cost them a fortune in damages.

They had no evidence. It would be disastrous if someone accused them of breaking things.

Yan Zheng, surprisingly, was pretty fast at escaping. Good to be young, maybe due to frequent exercise at school. In no time, all three fled the antique trading hall.

However, Tan Xianglan was a bit regretful. She came here to look for her Alchemy Furnace, and now that they left the trading hall, she had no idea where to go.

"Shen Tian, let’s go back. I need to buy an Alchemy Furnace." Tan Xianglan pouted. After all the hassle to sneak in, they had now run out again.

"Alchemy Furnace? Why do you need an Alchemy Furnace?"

Yan Zheng was taken aback; he knew quite a bit about Alchemy Furnaces. His family had a few, regarded as treasures, so precious that his father wouldn’t even show them for fear of drawing attention.

"Oh, I... my family needs it. Someone at home knows Alchemy, so I hoped to buy a couple of good Alchemy Furnaces during this trip." Tan Xianglan, stopping herself midway, fabricated a lie to cover up.

"Haha, is it someone at home or are you practicing secretly? It’s not like we’re asking for pills, why not be honest?" Chen Tianlong bluntly said.

"Hmph, I did tell the truth, so what?"

Tan Xianglan started squabbling with Chen Tianlong again, while Yan Zheng laughed on the side. This couple arguing while holding hands, they’re clearly a playful couple.

"You two are really sweet, arguing while holding hands. It’s my first time seeing this." Yan Zheng remarked.

The two were stunned by Yan Zheng’s comment, quickly looking at their hands and retracting them as they realized they held onto each other in urgency while escaping.

"Haha, you two are really amusing." Yan Zheng laughed and thought a bit, then smiled at Tan Xianglan, "May I know the beautiful lady’s name? And what about this brother?"

"My name is Tan Xianglan."

"I’m Shen Tian."

The two introduced themselves, thinking since they were acquainted now, addressing each other as handsome and pretty would be awkward.

"Haha, such nice names. By the way, Miss Xianglan came to buy an Alchemy Furnace; what about you, Brother Shen?" Yan Zheng asked curiously.

"Me? I’m here to find some Pure Energy Stones." Chen Tianlong said directly without hiding, as looking for Energy Stones isn’t a secret; it’s a relatively common material.

"Pure Energy Stones? Those are hard to find, many are semi-faulty, but I know where to find pure ones. It’s just quite remote and not easy to acquire." Yan Zheng shared all he knew.

"Oh? Yan, you know about Pure Energy Stones?"

Chen Tianlong had found plenty of information online at night; everyone heard about Energy Stones but not specifically Pure Energy Stones. He wasn’t sure what they were, perhaps refined Energy Stones.

"Yes, I’ve heard about it, but it’s not what you call Energy Stones. It’s a natural formation, developed over hundreds of years in caves, forming from materials dripping from the cave ceiling."

Continuing, Yan Zheng added, "In Guiyang, there’s only one place with Pure Energy Stones, at the Dong Race in the West Suburb, where rolling hills spread. A place called Qishan is abundant with treasures, all sorts of rare materials come from there, but it’s controlled by local tyrants and bandits, so getting anything from them won’t be easy."

"Bandits? Tyrants?"

Hearing these terms, Chen Tianlong felt like stepping into the Republic Era. Considering the local customs with many mountainous areas, government development takes time, and some secluded places being chaotic is understandable.

"Yeah, these people are tough, they have weapons. If you really go, be cautious." Yan Zheng kindly reminded.

"Mm, thank you, Yan," Chen Tianlong appreciated Yan Zheng’s kind-hearted nature, clearly a good person.

"Brother Shen, I can’t be much help, but I might assist with Miss Yang’s. My family seems to have some Pill Furnaces, but I’m not sure if my father would sell them." Yan Zheng thought for a moment and said.
