Chapter 516: Chapter 512 Tang Sect Qin Lan

Shu!

The local customs where yin thrives and yang declines.

Rabbits are a specialty here.

Whether cooked or alive, they are very famous. Fang Xiaocao has long heard of their fame.

The moment she stepped out of the airport, all Fang Xiaocao could think about was rabbits with eight-pack abs.

"Princess Your Highness, the hotel blacklist and the Ye Family have been arranged. All the forces participating in the Heroic Gathering have checked into the hotel under the Tang Sect, the top Jianghu sect in Shu."

Seeing that Fang Xiaocao was about to drool, Tom immediately spoke up, interrupting Fang Xiaocao’s unrealistic fantasies, pulling her thoughts back to reality from her fantasies about the Dirty Demon King.

Slurp——

Fang Xiaocao wiped her mouth and looked at Tom.

"What did you just say?"

Fang Xiaocao asked in confusion.

Sigh——

Tom sighed helplessly.

He repeated what he just said.

"Is there a rabbit in the hotel?"

Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked dumbfoundedly.

"Hmm?"

Tom was stunned: "I think so——"

"Wasn’t it said that no rabbit can leave Shu alive? If Princess Your Highness wants to eat rabbit, we don’t necessarily have to eat at the hotel. There are so many restaurants and street snacks outside, they should all have it."

Tom simply assumed that his Princess Your Highness was craving rabbit meat.

Little did he know, his Princess Your Highness indeed was craving, but the rabbit she was craving wasn’t the same kind of rabbit; they weren’t even the same species.

If Tom knew the true, suggestive thoughts in Princess Your Highness’s mind, who knows what he would think?

He would likely lament: "Princess Your Highness, you are truly hungry. Despite eating so well at home, you are still craving wild game."

"Hello, are you Miss Fang?"

At this moment, a ponytailed girl in black clothing hurriedly approached Fang Xiaocao and the others, asking gently yet politely.

"Who are you?"

Before Fang Xiaocao could speak, Tom stepped forward and blocked the girl, asking vigilantly.

Taotie, behind him, also had a tense expression.

Quickly approaching Fang Xiaocao’s side.

With sharp eyes, he scrutinized the girl.

Tom and Taotie’s senses were extremely keen. Just a simple glance revealed that this black-clothed girl wasn’t an ordinary person.

But a top-level master with exceptional skills.

From the girl’s continuous aura, Tom and Taotie could easily tell that the black-clothed girl was a master of Ancient Martial Arts, just like Mantis.

And a top-tier Ancient Martial Arts master at that.

Jianghu experience told Tom that such a top-tier Ancient Martial Arts master, besides having strong close combat ability, often had some kind of unique skill hidden.

Once in close range, they would be very difficult to deal with.

So Tom immediately shielded Fang Xiaocao behind him, preventing direct contact between Fang Xiaocao and the ponytailed girl.

Giving the opponent a chance to directly contact Fang Xiaocao could allow them to harbor ill intentions, to which Tom admitted he might not react in time to provide effective protection for Fang Xiaocao.

"You must be the famous Mr. Tom and Mr. Taotie?"

"You don’t need to be nervous. I mean no harm. Let me introduce myself; I am Qin Lan of the Tang Sect, ordered to pick up Fang Xiaocao, escort her to the hotel ahead, and provide security services from the airport to the hotel."

"Please rest assured, with our Tang Sect providing protection, no matter who or whatever force, none can harm a single hair on Miss Fang. If anyone dares have ill thoughts, they will be put on our Tang Sect’s Blacklist for elimination."

Qin Lan said without arrogance or humility.

Her eyes sincere, without a hint of pretense.

Tom and Taotie exchanged a look, again focusing their gaze on Qin Lan.

Especially Taotie’s gaze, extremely aggressive as if trying to see through Qin Lan.

"Mr. Taotie, if you have any doubts about my identity, you can call the black market or the Ye Family for confirmation. Staring at a girl like that, you might easily be mistaken for a rogue or a lecher."

Qin Lan met Taotie’s gaze without fear and said with a smile.

"No need, I believe you."

"Miss Qin, isn’t it? Thank you for your trouble."

Fang Xiaocao gracefully stepped forward to Qin Lan, extending her hand with a smile.

Qin Lan smiled slightly and shook hands with Fang Xiaocao: "Thank you for your trust, Miss Fang. You are a distinguished guest of our Tang Sect. You may call me Qin Lan, without any titles."

With a light grip, Qin Lan released her hand voluntarily.

Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly and withdrew her hand: "Qin Lan, your Hidden Weapon Kung Fu must be quite impressive?"

Through the handshake just now, Fang Xiaocao keenly noticed that Qin Lan’s hands bore calluses, evident from years of practicing Hidden Weapon techniques.

These are calluses characteristic of a Hidden Weapon practitioner. An outsider might not be sensitive enough to notice this feature, but being a Hidden Weapon expert herself, it was clear to her with one touch.

Qin Lan nodded: "I have long heard that Miss Fang is an expert in the realm of hidden weapons, truly living up to the reputation."

"Our Tang Sect has always been known for its Hidden Weapons and Toxic Arts. If there’s time, we could have a duel."

Qin Lan generously admitted to her proficiency in the art of hidden weapons and made no secret of her intention to have a contest with Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "I’ll be waiting for you."

Qin Lan responded with a smile: "Miss Fang, this way please. We’ve prepared a private car for you and your entourage. I will personally escort you to the hotel, and during the Heroic Gathering, these cars will be your exclusive transportation."

Qin Lan gestured for Fang Xiaocao to proceed.

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Fang Xiaocao took the lead, following Qin Lan’s guidance toward the private car prepared by the Tang Sect.

During this time, Qin Lan was always leading the way in front, and Fang Xiaocao, under the protection of Tom and Taotie, followed Qin Lan into the car.

The car that Fang Xiaocao sat in, besides the Tang Sect driver, also had Qin Lan.

The backseat could accommodate two more people.

After a brief exchange, Tom decided to let Taotie, with the strongest close combat ability, accompany Fang Xiaocao.

Tom himself, along with Unhappy and Mantis, went to another car behind.

The convoy sent by the Tang Sect to pick up Fang Xiaocao consisted of just three cars. In the first two, besides the driver and Qin Lan, were all Fang Xiaocao’s people. The last car was occupied by Tang Sect disciples sent for Fang Xiaocao’s protection.

The convoy slowly drove away from the airport, heading directly onto the airport highway toward the city.

"Sister Qin, someone is following us."

A half-hour into the drive, the driver suddenly spoke.

Fang Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, revealing an interested and playful look.

Fang Xiaocao was curious to see how Qin Lan would handle those who dared to openly challenge the Tang Sect’s authority.

Qin Lan squinted slightly, maintaining a smile.

"Identify who’s behind us."

Qin Lan tapped her earpiece.

"Roger that!"

A response came from the earpiece.

Fang Xiaocao turned to look at the rear window.

Just then, the last car suddenly accelerated, forcefully blocking the pursuing car.
