My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 850 - 848: Discovering the Secret

Sure enough, a surge of powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly burst from the Jade Pendant. Although the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was plentiful, compared to the peak state of Chen Tianlong’s Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, it seemed not too different.

However, for ordinary cultivators, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is quite significant. For those advanced cultivators, it probably wouldn’t have a very noticeable effect, especially the Celestial Dao.

"Right? Don’t you feel the abundance of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?" Liu Ting said excitedly.

"Yeah, it’s pretty abundant. However, to be honest, if it were absorbed by Yellow Dao or Profound Dao cultivators, it should be alright, but for more advanced ones, it seems not very useful."

Chen Tianlong continued, "As far as I know, most of the Black Alliance’s higher-ups are in the Profound Dao, and their leader, along with several of their senior members, have power above the Tunnel level, so this Jade Pendant shouldn’t be that attractive to them."

Chen Tianlong expressed his thoughts honestly, and Liu Ting, upon hearing this, quickly said, "Exactly, Chen Tianlong, I thought the same earlier. Why would such a large organization like the Black Alliance make such a fuss over this Jade Pendant, sending so many high-ranking members to search for it."

"Hmm!" After studying it carefully for a while, Chen Tianlong suddenly noticed a semi-transparent inscription on the Jade Pendant. Upon closer inspection, it was inscribed with a very small but clear character for "cold."

"Huh? Strange, why is it the word ’cold’?" Chen Tianlong was puzzled.

Hearing Chen Tianlong, Liu Ting also came closer, half-squinting to take a look. It was indeed as Chen Tianlong said. She hadn’t noticed it even after holding the Jade Pendant for so long.

"Yeah, why is there a ’cold’ character? What does it mean?" Liu Ting was also baffled.

"Could it be an item of the Wu Family?" Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of someone, Wu Mengting. Master Fang Zun had mentioned that Wu Mengting was a rare Sponge Physique and that she was the eldest daughter of the Ancient Wu Family.

Could this Jade Pendant be used to investigate Wu Mengting’s lineage, and what exactly happened before to make her fall from the Ancient Family into the Mortal Realm, with the master instructing me to protect her?

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong suddenly asked, "Liu Ting, where did you get this Jade Pendant?"

"Huh? Where did I get it, let me think... Hmm, do you remember before? Some thugs were chasing me, and in an alley, you saved me. This Jade Pendant was grabbed from their hands, though it was the second time I snatched it." Liu Ting smiled awkwardly as she said this, as it seemed somewhat unsavory.

"Alright, so this Jade Pendant belonged to someone before being with you?" Chen Tianlong seemed to understand.

"Yeah, it was previously with Liu Laowu of the Black Panther Gang, but I don’t know how he got it." Liu Ting said truthfully.

Chen Tianlong nodded, "I see, tomorrow is Saturday. Liu Ting, accompany me to the Black Panther Gang. I feel this Jade Pendant is related to Mengting, and maybe we can find out her exact background from it."

"Huh? It’s related to Mengting?" Liu Ting was stunned, considering the ’cold’ character from just now, Chen Tianlong might indeed be onto something with that hint.

"Hopefully, yes, I want to investigate it." Chen Tianlong didn’t explain to Liu Ting that Master Fang Zun had said Wu Mengting’s secret shouldn’t be released for fear of attracting more trouble.

But with Wu Mengting’s overwhelmingly powerful physique, as the eldest daughter of the Ancient Wu Family, how did she come to the Mortal Realm aimlessly? So, Chen Tianlong must understand the entire story to find Wu Mengting’s true identity.

Wu Mengting had been feeling somewhat down recently; she didn’t dare to ask her father, fearing he might not be her biological father. After all, if as Chen Tianlong said, she is the eldest daughter of the Ancient Wu Family.

So is Wu Shengtian her biological father now?

If so, why does he seem so mediocre, shouldn’t he have been extraordinary? The night passed without words, and around ten o’clock the next morning, Chen Tianlong mentioned something to Wu Mengting and the others, saying he was going out with Liu Ting to handle some affairs. Wu Mengting didn’t ask much, going shopping with Li Bingshuang.

Wu Mengting thought that since Chen Tianlong had already acknowledged Li Bingshuang, she shouldn’t oppose her. Building a good relationship would put her in a leading position later, as she is, after all, Chen Tianlong’s legitimate wife.

Chen Tianlong, with Liu Ting, headed straight for the Black Panther Gang to seek out Liu Laowu.

Unfortunately, upon inquiry at the old address of the Black Panther Gang, they heard from the surrounding people that it had already been disbanded, and Liu Laowu’s whereabouts were unknown.

Chen Tianlong felt a bit frustrated as the lead had just appeared only to be cut off again.

"Chen Tianlong, I have an idea. If you want to find out whether Liu Laowu is still alive, it’s easy. Just ask your police friend to check Liu Laowu’s personal information." Being adept in navigating the information network, Liu Ting quickly thought of this.

Chen Tianlong nodded, finding himself increasingly in awe of his junior apprentice sister.

"Liu Ting is so smart. I’ll give Wang Shenyan a call and ask her to help check." Saying this, Chen Tianlong took out his phone and dialed Shen Yan’s number.

There hadn’t been any major cases at the police station recently, so Shen Yan was idly bored, planning to have some fun with Chen Tianlong. Yet thinking about how he was now surrounded by a bevy of beauties, there wasn’t any time for her. She dismissed the idea.

Then suddenly, with the phone ringing, Shen Yan leisurely glanced at it and was about to pocket it when her eyes brightened, catching the name—Chen Tianlong?

Wow!

Shen Yan immediately got excited, revived on the spot, sprang up from her office chair, and answered Chen Tianlong’s call, startling her colleagues nearby.

"Shen Yan, are you free?" Chen Tianlong didn’t know if Shen Yan was busy, considering that this was a trivial matter that shouldn’t delay her important work.

"Of course, I have time. Are you inviting me for a meal? I have tons of free time." Shen Yan said excitedly, somewhat getting carried away.

Chen Tianlong laughed wryly, clearly realizing Shen Yan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "Shen Yan, let’s postpone the meal. Once we finish this job, I will definitely treat you to dinner."

"Oh, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan knew Chen Tianlong likely had something to ask; she was a bit disappointed.

"Yes, here’s the thing, can you help me check through the police system if someone is still alive?" Chen Tianlong asked.

"Alright, tell me the name and approximate age." Though initially disappointed, she couldn’t stay upset with Chen Tianlong.
