My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1336: Chapter 1335: Wu Jian’s Scheme

Wu Mengting watched, feeling worried for Chen Tianlong. But Chen Tianlong had no intention of backing down, and she didn’t want to disrupt their mood, so she went back to her room.

Before long, it was evening, and Chen Tianlong drank a lot. After Wu Mengting saw him to his room, she fell asleep, with the Dragon Slayer Sword placed on the bed...

The next day, he slept until noon. Chen Tianlong still felt a bit of a headache. He finally opened his eyes and suddenly remembered the Dragon Slayer Sword. He habitually reached for the bed, only to find it wasn’t there.

This made Chen Tianlong anxious, and he started searching everywhere.

Hearing noise from inside, Wu Mengting realized Chen Tianlong was awake, so she knocked and entered his room.

"Chen Tianlong, what are you doing?" Wu Mengting asked curiously.

"My sword is missing." Chen Tianlong didn’t pay much attention to Wu Mengting as he continued to search.

"Uh, I remember putting it on your bed when I brought you back last night." Wu Mengting was also puzzled.

Suddenly, Wu Mengting thought of something but wasn’t sure, so she took Chen Tianlong to the hall, where Wu Jian was leisurely sipping tea.

Seeing his daughter rushing, he asked, "Sweetheart, what’s going on? Why so hurried?"

"Dad, did you take Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword?" Wu Mengting dove straight into the topic.

"Haha, sweet daughter, what are you joking about? Why would dad take Chen Tianlong’s precious sword?"

"But I definitely left it on his bed last night, and it was gone in the morning." Wu Mengting explained.

"What? You mean the Dragon Slayer Sword is missing?"

Wu Jian asked in confusion.

This was when Chen Tianlong spoke up, "Mengting, it might not be your dad who took it. I believe he’s not that kind of person."

Seeing Chen Tianlong defending her dad, Wu Mengting didn’t say much more. At this point, Wu Jian walked over, patted Chen Tianlong’s shoulder, and assuredly said, "Chen Tianlong, the sword was lost in my villa, I will surely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation."

Chen Tianlong nodded understandingly, so Wu Mengting took Chen Tianlong for a walk outside.

"Chen Tianlong, I think it’s more complicated than that. So..."

Wu Mengting whispered into Chen Tianlong’s ear softly.

After hearing that, Chen Tianlong said, "Isn’t that unethical?"

"Chen Tianlong, you’re too kind-hearted. Just do as I said, and the truth will come to light." Wu Mengting said.

"Alright." Chen Tianlong agreed, albeit with hesitation.

That night, taking advantage of Wu Jian’s absence, Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong sneaked into Wu Jian’s bedroom. Mengting had seen it before when her dad showed her; it had a secret room.

So Wu Mengting was familiar with Wu Jian’s secret room. This time, she wanted to prove her dad’s innocence; if the sword wasn’t there, it meant her dad didn’t take it, but if it was, they’d quietly take it.

Guided by Wu Mengting, they quickly entered the bedroom. The secret room had a trap door; Wu Mengting twisted an old book on the shelf twice, and it opened.

They slowly walked in, and sure enough, there were many treasures inside: valuable paintings, and rare swords hung on the wall.

Wu Mengting knew there was one place where dad hid things most likely—the secret compartment behind a goddess portrait. Wu Mengting expertly opened it, seeing a treasure sword hidden inside. When she pulled it out, Chen Tianlong immediately recognized the familiar blade.

"The Dragon Slayer Sword is actually here; your dad really is a Sword Fool." Chen Tianlong, being kind-hearted, didn’t want to resent Wu Jian even though he knew he stole it, only blaming him for being a Sword Fool.

Wu Mengting felt touched and said, "Sorry, Chen Tianlong, my dad has always been like this—loving swords too much."

"Haha, it’s alright. The Dragon Slayer Sword is a rare treasure; for a sword lover, it’s truly priceless. You can’t entirely blame him; I might do the same in his shoes." Chen Tianlong began to defend Wu Jian.

"Hmm, alright, Chen Tianlong, you’re great!" At this moment, Wu Mengting wanted to say only that.

Since they got the sword, they didn’t want to linger and left the secret room for the bedroom. But right at the secret room door, they heard a voice from beside the bedroom bed—it was Wu Jian.

"You came out? You know everything now, right?"

"Dad, we weren’t intentional, but you did steal the sword, didn’t you?" Wu Mengting had an excuse now.

"Haha, sweet daughter, whose side are you on, mine or Chen Tianlong’s?" Wu Jian slightly grumbled at his daughter for siding with outsiders to trouble him; how embarrassing.

"Dad, I’m not biased; and Chen Tianlong is my boyfriend, I have to stand up for him."

"Good, well done. But what if I insist on keeping the sword tonight?" Wu Jian was already getting angry.

"Dad, please, the sword is Chen Tianlong’s precious thing; don’t trouble him." Wu Mengting pleaded.

"Humph, I’m determined to keep the sword. He can leave, but the sword stays." Wu Jian was dazed by the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Now Chen Tianlong was getting wary, feeling that Wu Jian was becoming a threat. So he said, "Father-in-law, this sword recognizes me as its master. Master Void said only I can unlock the Soul of the Sword; it’s useless to you."

"Haha, since you acknowledge me as a father-in-law, what’s wrong with gifting the sword?" With that, Wu Jian leaped and grabbed at it.

Originally, Chen Tianlong was still conflicted, but seeing Wu Jian make a move.

Seeing him act, Chen Tianlong didn’t hesitate, quickly drawing the Dragon Slayer Sword to block, Wu Jian’s palm force hit the sword. The strong force made Chen Tianlong retreat several steps.

"Chen Tianlong, you’re not my match; better hand over the sword, I’ll spare your life."

"Thank you, father-in-law. I already said, I can’t give you this sword." Chen Tianlong said resolutely.

"Alright then, take my move."

With that, Wu Jian pulled the sword from beside the bed and swung it mightily.

Seeing its rapid approach, Chen Tianlong dodged swiftly; the Sword Qi sliced through nearby furniture, splitting them apart. Realizing the situation turned dire, he made a quick leap through the window, Wu Jian pursuing.

"Thinking of running? Not so easy." Wu Jian shouted as he chased.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting was stunned too. She chased after them but didn’t know what to say—a boyfriend and a father—she could only stand there blankly, waiting for the opportune moment.

Wu Jian swung his sword to stab; Chen Tianlong, not distracted, took the challenge head-on. After a move with Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, they ended in a draw.
