Lin Zhitong quickly walked up to Yan Shouyi, pinched his ear, and said,
"You big dummy, didn't I tell you I was coming to Qiantang today? Why didn't you come to the station to pick me up?"
Lin Zhitong's noble demeanor instantly transforming into that of a young woman genuinely surprised everyone present.
However, seeing a perfect goddess like Lin Zhitong reveal such a girlish side in front of Yan Shouyi only made them envy him more.
Only Yan Shouyi could tame a goddess like Lin Zhitong to this extent, couldn't he?
Moreover, Lin Zhitong at this moment was more approachable, no longer exuding that aloof aura.
Yan Shouyi quickly said, "There are still so many people watching, give me some face."
"Hmph, I'll deal with you properly when we get home!"
Lin Zhitong shot Yan Shouyi a glance, then turned to the people at the crematorium, her expression instantly becoming kind and pleasant as she sweetly greeted everyone,
"Hello everyone, please excuse my behavior. I'm Yan Shouyi's wife, Lin Zhitong."
"Sister-in-law, hello!" Cui Yu took the lead, shouting the greeting, and the others followed suit.
"Speaking of which..." Long Feicheng said quietly, "If Han Gouwang knew his sister-in-law arrived just after he left, would he weep holding his head?"
Weng Qianxiang chuckled, "This proves that Han Gouwang doesn't truly like Sister-in-law; he just genuinely enjoys being a sycophant."
"That's true. We and Han Gouwang are ultimately not on the same path!" Long Feicheng shook his head and sighed, but his tone and expression clearly conveyed one thing: I am not a sycophant.
Of course, Long Feicheng was met with everyone's eye-rolls.
Yan Shouyi glanced at the time and said, "Our train is also coming up soon. Let's head out."
Lin Zhitong felt a slight regret; she wanted to get to know more friends, but time did not permit.
So, she could only bid farewell to everyone and then return to the business car with Yan Shouyi and the others.
Finally, it was time to part. Yan Shouyi sat in the car, extending his hand to wave goodbye to everyone.
For some reason, Cui Yu couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up.
Yan Shouyi's arrival had changed Qiantang so much, and it had completely changed Cui Yu.
Yet now, Yan Shouyi could not stay any longer, needing to rush to the next city without delay.
Xu Qian finally understood why his master, Xu Zhiping, had told Yan Shouyi when he was drunk that the common sects could not do without him.
Very few people in this world could carry the burden, and Yan Shouyi was one of them.
For Qiantang, the crisis had been resolved.
But for Yan Shouyi, this was merely a hurdle in his life; after overcoming this one, another would follow.
Xu Qian then took a deep breath and shouted with his golden voice as a night watchman,
"Brother Yan! Have a safe journey!!"
Yan Shouyi and the others, who had already driven halfway up the mountain, suddenly heard Xu Qian's shout. They paused for a moment, then all broke into knowing smiles.
...
Airport.
Yan Shouyi, Lin Zhitong, Long Feicheng, Wei Changqing, Wang Jimu, Old Jin, Weng Qianxiang, and Xue Kai, who had been secretly following Yan Shouyi, were waiting at the airport.
As Yan Shouyi's shadow, Xue Kai would only intervene when Yan Shouyi needed him to handle matters that were inconvenient for him personally. Adhering to the principle of appearing only when necessary, he rarely showed himself in public.
However, this time, traveling from Qiantang to Chang'an required a flight, so he had no choice but to make an appearance.
The group of eight was quite lively, especially with Long Feicheng around.
Long Feicheng, Weng Qianxiang, and Old Jin followed Lin Zhitong into the VIP lounge. Along the way, they whistled at so many flight attendants that the security guards were tempted to kick them out.
But since they were heading to the VIP lounge, the security guards had no authority to turn them away.
The flight attendants responsible for carrying their luggage for them hurriedly left with blushing faces after escorting them to the VIP room, fearing that if they stayed any longer, the three ruffians would make a move on them.
Yan Shouyi said helplessly, "Can you three show some restraint? Aren't you afraid someone will call the police and have you arrested?"
Long Feicheng chuckled, "Whistling isn't against the law."
Weng Qianxiang sat on the plush VIP sofa and stretched,
"Thanks to Sister-in-law, we get to rest in the airport's VIP lounge. I assume we'll be flying first class?"
Old Jin tasted the snacks in the VIP lounge and said, "I've never flown first class before."
Wang Jimu said softly, "I've never flown on a plane before..."
Seeing his brothers, who possessed remarkable skills but lived frugally, Yan Shouyi felt a pang in his heart. They could clearly live much better lives, but due to many rules, they lived a life of poverty.
They had done many good deeds in this life, yet they still had to endure so much hardship.
Ultimately, it was because they had accumulated too much karma in their past lives and were now paying it back in this one.
Yan Shouyi saw Long Feicheng searching for something on his phone and asked about it. Long Feicheng held up his phone and replied,
"I'm searching for ways to avoid people realizing I'm flying for the first time."
"Isn't that simple? I'll teach you!"
Weng Qianxiang said earnestly,
"First, be polite when boarding the plane. Offer cigarettes to the cabin crew, airport staff, and passengers around you. Second, without waiting for the flight attendant to finish demonstrating the oxygen mask, pull out the oxygen mask, put it on, and signal other passengers to put theirs on. Third, after the meal, you can take a nap. If you're uncomfortable sleeping in your seat, ask the flight attendant if there are any sleeper berths available, preferably lower bunks. Fourth..."
Long Feicheng interrupted, "Wait, why do I feel like you scoundrel are tricking me?"
Weng Qianxiang's eyes darted aside, a hint of guilt in his voice, "Do I? What did I say that was wrong?"
Long Feicheng slapped his thigh, "When offering cigarettes to the cabin crew and passengers, shouldn't you also help them light them?"
"You... you're right!" Weng Qianxiang exclaimed as if struck by enlightenment, "It was my negligence!"
"Hmph, trying to fool me? Is my title as 'The White Dragon of Rongcheng' just for show?" Long Feicheng laughed proudly.
Seeing the comical antics of the two, Lin Zhitong couldn't help herself and smiled to comfort them,
"Don't be nervous, we're not flying first class later."
"Not first class?" Long Feicheng was a bit disappointed, "I still wanted to broadcast myself on the plane to show off."
Lin Zhitong shook her head, "Not first class, it's a private jet."
"What?!"
Everyone looked shocked. Even Yan Shouyi was dumbfounded, "When did your family get a private jet?"
Lin Zhitong shot Yan Shouyi a glare,
"If you don't care, you naturally wouldn't know. The Lin family's business has been growing bigger and bigger these past few months. My father bought three private jets last month; their specifications are on par with Air Force One, the US President's private jet."
"My heavens..." Yan Shouyi said blankly, "What should I do if the rich woman I've latched onto is getting richer and richer?"
