My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1389: Lantern Festival Riddles

"Ah!"

Gu Yuxin was making a wish on the fireworks in the sky when suddenly Chen Tianlong’s tap gave her a big start, and she glared at him irritably.

"What are you doing, trying to scare me to death?" Gu Yuxin said, a bit angrily.

Chen Tianlong felt innocent and wronged, thinking it was a classic case of a dog biting Lv Dongbin and failing to recognize good intentions. With a bitter smile, he said, "Uh, sorry, I thought you weren’t feeling well and called you out, didn’t expect....."

"Wow, here it comes again, here it comes again, it’s so beautiful."

At this moment, Gu Yuxin skipped forward, grabbed Wu Mengting’s hand, and stared dazedly at the sky.

Chen Tianlong, drenched in sweat, shook his head and walked towards the bustling market on his own, with the two girls following him shortly after.

Before long, they arrived at the busy marketplace, which was now a scene of prosperity, with lanterns lit up everywhere and all sorts of trinkets for sale along the streets.

Chen Tianlong followed closely behind, watching the two girls running around everywhere, merely shaking his head without saying much.

"Thief!"

A middle-aged woman cried out, followed by a young man in his twenties, dressed like a ruffian, quickly escaping with a money bag in his hand.

Along the way, he knocked over quite a few pedestrians and stalls, prompting many curses, causing the street to become chaotic in an instant.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed by, with an arrow stride followed by two backflips, and then stepped on the thief’s shoulder, spinning down from the air to stand in front of the thief.

"Hand over the wallet, or you won’t escape." Wu Guangzu said with a somewhat serious expression.

The thief assessed the situation, seeing the sword-wielding person was no ordinary character, so he decided not to engage in a skirmish and jumped towards the riverside next door. But what he didn’t expect was Wu Guangzu leaping into the air, quickly flying over and kicking the thief back onto the ground.

The thief fell painfully to the ground, immediately scrambled up to run, but as he looked up, Wu Guangzu’s sword was pointed at his face. Terrified, the thief hurriedly tossed the money bag onto the ground, backed up a couple of steps, and then ran off.

After picking up the wallet and returning it to the owner, who was very grateful, Wu Guangzu didn’t linger much longer. His task this time was to find Chen Tianlong, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time and was curious to know how he was now.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a familiar voice.

"Third Senior Brother."

Chen Tianlong had seen him just now, but his Third Senior Brother was busy catching the thief, so he didn’t want to disturb him. Now that things were settled, Chen Tianlong immediately walked over and called out excitedly.

"Chen Tianlong, what are you doing here?"

Evidently, Wu Guangzu was a bit surprised but also very happy to finally have found him.

The moment they met, they immediately extended their hands to shake tightly, exchanging smiles without needing words.

"I came for the Lantern Festival tonight too." Chen Tianlong said.

"Hmm, I thought the same. I reckoned you’d be here, so I took a chance, hehe, didn’t expect to actually find you." Wu Guangzu also felt fortunate.

"Since we’re here, let’s enjoy this splendid night together." Chen Tianlong said.

"Sure, who knows if such a gathering is rare in this lifetime." Wu Mengting inserted a comment then.

"Hehe, what Mengting said is right, let’s go and have a look together." With that, the four of them began to head into the crowd.

This pedestrian street was bustling indeed, with various activities going on, such as street dancing, performances, and food vendors.

Amidst the crowd’s cheerful calls, everyone was having a joyous time when suddenly a throwing knife flew in, seemingly aiming for Chen Tianlong.

However, Chen Tianlong’s sensing ability was quite strong, so he dodged quickly, only to find Wu Mengting right beside him, prompting him to immediately shift back and knock Wu Mengting to the ground. The throwing knife grazed him, luckily only causing a minor scratch.

"Mengting, be careful, someone wants to ambush us."

The scene suddenly became panicked, with people fleeing in all directions.

Chen Tianlong watched his surroundings vigilantly, and as the crowd dispersed, a group of black-clad figures descended from the sky, and Chen Tianlong immediately recognized them as Kuang Shengtian’s men.

He roughly understood the situation; it was clear that Kuang Shengtian was taking the opportunity for revenge.

Soon enough, a young man in a white robe descended from the sky, holding a long sword and standing in front of Chen Tianlong.

"Chen Tianlong, I’ve finally found you. That day I slipped up and almost got killed because of you, today I’ll have my revenge, you’re doomed." Kuang Sheng’s eyes in the Black Alliance were filled with hatred, staring at Chen Tianlong intently.

"Uh, can you be sure that today’s fatality isn’t you?" Chen Tianlong ignored his threats and simply retorted.

"Hmph, you’ll realize your mistake shortly."

With that, he jumped up, wielding his long sword to strike at Chen Tianlong.

At that moment, Wu Guangzu and Wu Mengting walked over too. Seeing the dozen or so black-clad figures and Kuang Shengtian on the side, they roughly understood the situation, so Wu Guangzu unhesitatingly charged forward with an arrow stride.

Seeing the backup, the dozen or so black-clad figures immediately turned towards Wu Guangzu, attacking simultaneously. Wu Guangzu met them head-on, using the Assassin Group Swordsmanship, quickly becoming embroiled in the fight.

After a while of fighting, Wu Guangzu sensed that these black-clad people were, in fact, well-trained experts, unlike the previous mediocrities, so after an intense fight, he clearly felt pressured.

At this time, Gu Yuxin and Wu Mengting also drew their swords and attacked, relieving much of Wu Guangzu’s pressure. Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong was dueling with Kuang Shengtian. After a Sword Control Skill move, Kuang Shengtian began to struggle. However, he didn’t seem worried at all, which confused Chen Tianlong as he fought.

"Is there some master hiding as a backup, otherwise why would Kuang Shengtian, clearly knowing he’s been defeated before, still act so arrogantly, unlike his usual behavior?" Chen Tianlong thought.

At this moment, Kuang Shengtian’s sword was already close, forcing Chen Tianlong to dodge swiftly, deliberately saying, "You, a defeated general, still coming to court death, why?"

"Hmph, who’s dying still remains to be seen?" Kuang Shengtian replied with a cold smile.

At this point, Chen Tianlong became even more certain that there was indeed backup waiting in the shadows. But why hadn’t they come out yet? Were they waiting for a chance to deal a fatal blow?

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong began to remain secretly vigilant. Otherwise, if it were true, getting ambushed would be disastrous.

So, Chen Tianlong didn’t want to dawdle with Kuang Shengtian any longer, as it would only give him more opportunities to ambush. Consequently, Chen Tianlong leapt and began to operate the second layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique Heart Method Mantra, suddenly transforming into a Blade Sword Qi, swiftly stabbing towards Kuang Shengtian.

"Heh, Unity of Man and Sword, is it?"

Suddenly, a voice echoed from the air, and a Great Guan Saber hurled rapidly towards Chen Tianlong’s Sword Qi.

Noticing something amiss, Chen Tianlong quickly withdrew his sword, then, with all his might, blocked with the Dragon Slayer Sword. With a "kabang," the collision was so powerful it sent him flying quite a distance before he barely managed to land stably.
