Chapter 180 My God! A person has grown on a tree! Is this a species mutation?
Liu Tianqing had never met such an annoying person.
I hate them so much I want to strangle them with one hand.
It's as if there was once a person who frequently appeared around her.
That person was strangled to death by her.
Liu Tianqing took a deep breath and asked coldly, "And then what? What do you want to say? Are you going to continue talking about your brother?"
Liu Tianqing has been quite popular lately. Compared to Ling Tian, whose popularity is boosted by others and whose data is artificially inflated by online trolls, Liu Tianqing's popularity is genuinely based on his personal charm.
The two have far greater fan base cohesion than each other.
Because of Ling Tian, Ling Qiu often followed entertainment news and naturally knew Liu Tianqing.
Similarly, she had also seen the clips of Liu Tianqing that went viral.
Unlike others, she had heard from her brother that Liu Tianqing's rise to fame was so stable entirely because she had powerful backers who could protect her to such an extent that they were definitely not people they could afford to offend.
Therefore, upon seeing that the face under the mask was Liu Tianqing, she only had two words in her mind: It's over.
"No... I just... I just wanted to see who was behind the mask. I meant no harm..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Chu also pulled down her mask: "I'm suffocating! Look, what do you want to see? You can't possibly want to see if we're your friends, can you?"
When Ling Qiu saw that it was Yun Chu, she felt like crying. She didn't know anything about Liu Tianqing, but Yun Chu was someone her brother had repeatedly emphasized to her. This woman was the white moonlight of all the rich second-generation kids. If they offended her, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger; someone would take care of the other party for her.
Liu Tianqing glanced at Yun Chu, speechless. This girl…
Ling Qiu opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but after opening her mouth, she couldn't say a word for a long time.
However, her teammates behind her had no idea about any of this.
They are genuine hiking enthusiasts who only read hiking-related news on a regular basis. They had no idea that Liu Tianqing was currently quite popular, let alone the unspeakable secrets between Yun Chu and the rich second-generation.
Seeing that Ling Tian suddenly became timid, the group immediately rushed forward like warriors rescuing a princess, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Liu Tianqing and Yun Chu.
"It's just a mask you tore off, why are you bullying me?"
"Exactly, our group is just preventing you from joining our group, is it really necessary for you to be so petty?"
"You two must be repeat offenders, right? I want to ask the hiking community in this area, you two shameless freeloaders."
"So what if you're pretty? You're still not as pretty as Qiuqiu. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're pretty?"
Liu Tianqing's lips twitched slightly. This group of...lunatics!
"If you're sick, go get treatment. What's the point of coming out and harming people if you're not cured?"
Yun Chu didn't give them any face at all. She had come out to climb a mountain in a good mood, but she ended up encountering a bunch of lunatics, which ruined her good mood.
Seeing the conflict escalating, Ling Qiu panicked and hurriedly grabbed her irresponsible teammate: "No, no, I was just thinking about something that made me unhappy. They didn't bully me."
She was terrified. First, she feared that Liu Tianqing might expose her unspeakable secrets in a fit of anger; second, she feared that the group of rich second-generation heirs behind Yun Chu would cause trouble.
In short, neither of them is something she can bear.
Liu Tianqing was utterly exasperated with this group of people. Too lazy to bother with them, he took out two more masks from his bag and handed one to Yun Chu.
“Ignore them, let’s go, down the mountain. If we get back late, the old folks in the courtyard will give us a lecture on ideology and theory. Last time, Old Lin lectured me on Marxism-Leninism for a whole week. He was so energetic, he didn’t look like an eighty-year-old man at all.”
Since Liu Tianqing moved into the nursing home, the entire nursing home has been full of vitality.
The elderly people who used to spend their days gossiping, playing chess, and playing cards have turned into shining stars whenever Liu Tianqing is around, with all sorts of random knowledge entering Liu Tianqing's mind in strange ways.
Before he knew it, Liu Tianqing had become quite familiar with the stock market. He would occasionally invest a little money, and while he wouldn't make a fortune, he would at least make a small profit.
However, she really disliked the elderly men and women giving her ideological lectures.
Yun Chu, who had disliked ideological and theoretical classes since childhood, shivered and immediately pushed Liu Tianqing to hurry on his way: "Let's go, let's go, we absolutely must not participate."
The five-person hiking group looked on in bewilderment as the two ignored them and walked away, their questions flooding the screen.
Only Ling Qiu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
However, before he could finish exhaling, he heard his partner say triumphantly:
"So what if they ran away? I've already taken pictures of their faces, made a PDF, and shared it in our hiking community to remind everyone to be careful not to let these two people join your hiking group."
Ling Qiu looked at her in horror and raised her voice to shout, "What did you say?! What did you do to them?"
The teammate was startled and stammered, "He... he made a PDF... and uploaded it to forums and various hiking groups... This kind of person should be exposed..."
She completely understood what Ling Qiu was up to this time. Wasn't it her who said in the beginning that these two people were just trying to freeload off the tour? Of course, you have to warn others to be careful when you encounter people like that.
Now they're acting like they want to devour her, as if she's done something utterly heinous.
Ling Qiu was almost in tears. She had no time to deal with this girl now and frantically picked up her phone to call her brother.
Ling Tian, who was filming on set, answered Ling Qiu's call quickly: "Little sister, what's up? Didn't you go hiking on that mountain? How come you have time to call me?"
Ling Qiu said in a panicked voice, "Brother, I've gotten into trouble."
Upon hearing her voice, Ling Tian sat up straight immediately: "Little sister, be good. Who bullied you? Tell your brother."
“It’s not that others bullied me, it’s that I…” Ling Qiu swallowed hard, her eyes filled with fear: “I offended Liu Tianqing and Yun Chu.”
Ling Tian was stunned, then fell silent. He was a popular figure, he did have some popularity...
But... the capital behind him is just his own company, a company that a rich second-generation heir runs for fun.
This rich kid is far inferior to the group of rich kids who protect Yun Chu.
And then there's the added bug of Liu Tianqing...
Good heavens! This is more than enough to kill him!
Since Ling Qiu has called him now, it proves that Liu Tianqing and Yun Chu probably didn't make things difficult for her.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "Liu Tianqing didn't expose you, did he?"
Ling Qiu shook her head: "No, she didn't really pay attention to me."
With a sigh of relief, Ling Tian continued, "Yun Chu didn't make any threats, did she call for help?"
Ling Qiu shook her head: "No, the two of them seemed to be in a real hurry."
"That's good...that's good. It shouldn't be a big problem. When you come back, I'll ask the company to help us find a way to apologize together."
Ling Tian's voice carried a light laugh: "I've heard that they generally don't fuss over such trivial matters."
However, Ling Qiu suddenly burst into tears: "But my teammates have already made a PDF, proving that they are freeloaders, and they even took photos of them, which they posted on forums and various hiking enthusiast groups."
Ling Tian's smile froze instantly. Good heavens, so this was where they were waiting for him!
"You recognized his identity, so why did you still post it?"
To be honest, Ling Tian's mentality was indeed a bit broken.
But Ling Qiu stabbed him in the chest again: "And they know you're my brother... I... I even said some harsh words... But who told them to wear masks? I didn't do it on purpose... I just couldn't stand that they weren't wearing anything."
“You really are my good sister…” Ling Tian felt utterly helpless, staring blankly into the void: “I’ll think of something, I’ll hang up now.”
Ling Qiu responded and had just hung up the phone when she heard her teammate, who had just sent the PDF, suddenly scream: "Those two are celebrities!"
Everyone was surprised. A celebrity?
No wonder they're all so beautiful...
The next second, everyone was shocked and lost their composure.
"star???"
"What do you mean? A celebrity is piggybacking on our tour?"
Holy crap! Are celebrities these days really this shameless?
Ling Qiu looked at the four of them expressionlessly and said, "Do you remember that survival reality show that was so popular a while ago?"
Everyone nodded: "Of course we remember, but we didn't have time to watch it. We heard it was filmed in a primeval forest."
Ling Qiu wiped her face, her eyes filled with despair: "The person I pulled off the mask was one of the guests inside. With her abilities, climbing this mountain would be a piece of cake for her. After all, she's a tough guy who walks bears."
No sooner had she finished speaking than her companion, who was sending the PDF, said in a tearful voice, "Qiuqiu, save me! I don't know what to do. They say that girl is Liu Tianqing, and everyone who offended her has been sent to jail. I don't want to go in."
"Some people say that the other woman is the 'white moonlight' of all the rich kids; many families went bankrupt after offending her..."
Ling Qiu was speechless, not knowing what she was afraid of:
"What are you afraid of? You haven't broken the law, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't get you in. As for bankruptcy and all that... what's so bad about your house? It's an old house that your grandfather built, and it leaks when it rains heavily. How bad can it get?"
After a moment of silence, the teammate seemed to come to his senses: "Oh right... my family is really dirt poor... I was overthinking it."
Ling Tian knew her younger sister too well. Although she didn't say how things started, she described Liu Tianqing and Yun Chu's reactions in great detail. It was very clear that her sister wanted to show off, but ended up being punished.
So no matter what, this apology is necessary; I just hope the two of you won't take it too seriously.
Meanwhile, Liu Tianqing and Yun Chu hurried down the mountain. Suddenly, Liu Tianqing whispered to Yun Chu, "Did you hear that?"
Yun Chu's eyes darkened: "Three people."
Liu Tianqing curled his lips into a smile: "Just as I expected, they panicked after not taking any action for several days."
Yun Chu sighed, her voice a mix of melancholy and excitement: "This welcoming ceremony is quite unique."
Liu Tianqing glanced at her. Goodness, she's getting excited now?
Seeing that the two were about to enter a dense forest, Liu Tianqing signaled to Yun Chu to be careful: "Don't rush in, you must be careful when you do things."
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed in, shouting as she went, "Charge! Kill them!"
Yun Chu, who was a step behind, stumbled. Is this the legendary "don't rush"?
This woman is unreliable!
They just said to be careful, and then they recklessly went ahead.
Liu Tianqing didn't care about any of that. Her eyes were shining. She hadn't stretched her muscles in a long time. She wasn't Yun Chu. She had a system with her. What was there to be afraid of?
System Abai was also incredibly excited, waving a small red flag wildly in the system space: "Charge!! Kill!!! Down with all evil forces!! Do it!!"
"This group of people hasn't shown up for quite a while, and the system is really missing them!"
Liu Tianqing was also very excited: "I originally planned to go to the island with the crew, but who knew that a yandere pervert with a love-obsessed mind would join the crew and set the set on fire. Otherwise, I would already be on the island now."
With her abilities, she might have already infiltrated their headquarters.
System Abai thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, if you go alone, who will clean up after you?"
Liu Tianqing chuckled: "I've already spoken to Yan Qingfeng. They're just waiting for me to make my move so we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
The plan was planned long ago. Otherwise, since their stronghold wasn't in China but on a private island, how could they have been captured without going through some procedures?
The system exclaimed, "6! When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
"When you're reading a tragic novel where the female protagonist has her heart, liver, kidneys, and spiritual roots dug out, her blood is used to test medicines and destroy her dantian, and her golden core, destiny, and luck are stolen, you cry your eyes out, acting like you've lost your parents."
Liu Tianqing rolled his eyes as he spoke. This system is sometimes quite unreliable.
System Abai: ...
In the midst of his chaotic brawl, Liu Tianqing had already stumbled upon a tree where an assassin was hiding.
Excitedly, she shouted to Yun Chu, who was following behind, "Yun Chu, let me show you what true superhuman strength is!"
Yun Chu's face darkened. What happened to being careful and cautious?
Do you know your public image has collapsed?
As soon as Liu Tianqing finished speaking, he delivered a spinning kick to the tree trunk.
With a cracking sound, the tree fell down with a loud crash.
The next second, a person frantically pushed aside the branches in front of them, their eyes filled with terror.
Such a big tree, kicked down in one go?!
Oh my god!!!
He's just a lowly assassin, why should he be sent to kill this kind of psychopath?
Even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough for that kick.
Liu Tianqing, feigning shock, covered his mouth as he looked at the exposed assassin: "My God!!! A person has grown on a tree!! Is this a species mutation?"
Yun Chu chuckled. She realized that Liu Tianqing acted entirely based on his mood.
However, she was happy to play along: "Oh my god! Are the trees here different? Have they all come to life?"
"Kick two more trees and we'll see!" Liu Tianqing's eyes were full of excitement as he kicked down the tree where the other two assassins were hiding.
Seeing the two extra people, Yun Chu couldn't suppress her smile at all: "Wow, it really is different. Two more people have been added. The current method of inheritance is really special!"
The assassin from Sanming knew perfectly well that the two were toying with him, and he immediately became somewhat angry.
"Ha, so what if you find our hiding place? You're still going to die today."
