171: Little Girl Yanyan

After Jiang Fan left Hong Tiangan's small courtyard, he walked along while ruminating on Hong Tiangan's words from just a moment ago.

Thinking of the kindness shown to him by Hong Tiangan, Luo Feihuai, and Xue Min, Jiang Fan felt a sudden impulse to reveal his secret.

However, he immediately extinguished that thought.

For one thing, this was his biggest secret, and he had to keep it guarded at all costs.

For another, whether he told them or not would not affect his gratitude toward them.

Or, from another perspective, even if he were to tell them, he could completely use a different method to package his secret before showing it to them.

Or perhaps he could simply say nothing and just bring out Cultivation Techniques suitable for them to Cultivate.

However... regardless, these were things for the future!

Thinking about these things now was just worrying too much!

Jiang Fan shook his head, discarding his chaotic thoughts.

Returning to the Stone Path Small Dwelling, he tidied up the room and prepared his luggage for the trip to Luo City, then Jiang Fan entered into Cultivation once again.

The next day, he booked his flight to Luo City.

On the third day, he officially set off for Luo City.

In this High Martial world, the population was not large, and migration between cities was rare, so the various airports or train stations were all very small in scale.

Some stations or airports in major cities were not even as good as the peripheral cities of his past life.

However, Kyoto was, after all, the capital of Huaxia, so it still had some foundation; the airport's infrastructure was decent, and the area was not small.

When Jiang Fan arrived at the airport by taxi, it was just 10:00 AM.

"Sir, do you have any luggage to check?" the Staff Member at the simple check-in counter asked in a friendly manner.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"No! I only have a small backpack!"

The Staff Member revealed a professional smile.

"Alright! Sir, your flight time is 11:10! Your assigned seat is 28K! You can go to the east security checkpoint for security screening, and then go to Waiting Hall No. 2 to wait for your flight!"

Jiang Fan took the boarding pass and waved his hand.

"Thank you!"

In the High Martial world, the boarding process was much faster than in his past life.

There was almost no need to queue at the security checkpoint, and the security officer didn't even check carefully, letting Jiang Fan pass after a casual pat-down.

Arriving at the waiting hall, it was even more convenient.

There were no such things as boarding gates; the entire waiting area only had two halls, Waiting Hall No. 1 and Waiting Hall No. 2, which was clear at a glance.

Jiang Fan arrived at the rest area, intending to find a seat to wait for boarding.

Just as he scanned the area, found a suitable spot, and was about to head over, he felt his pants being tugged.

Jiang Fan turned around and saw a cute Little Girl blinking her eyes at him.

"Big Brother, you dropped your stuff!"

Jiang Fan was stunned and looked at the Little Girl's hand.

He saw the Ninth Martial Arts University points card in her hand, and Jiang Fan slapped his forehead.

It must have slipped out of his bag when he was taking something out just now!

Jiang Fan smiled as he took it back, then rubbed the Little Girl's head.

"Thank you, little sister!"

As he spoke, he looked around.

"How come you are all by yourself? What is your name? Where is your family?"

The Little Girl looked to be only four or five years old and couldn't possibly be boarding a flight alone.

But there was no one else around her, which left Jiang Fan momentarily stunned.

A smile blossomed on the Little Girl's face.

"Big Brother, my name is Yan Yan! I am with my mom, and we are going to Luo City! She just went to the restroom, and I was waiting for her outside. When I saw you drop your stuff, I chased after you! But you were walking too fast, so I had to chase you for a long way!"

As Yan Yan spoke, she gestured with her hands to show that she had really chased him for a long way.

Her cute actions caused a smile to appear on Jiang Fan's face involuntarily.

"Hahaha! Thank you, Yan Yan! I shouldn't have walked so fast and made it hard for you to catch up!"

After saying that, he looked back.

"Come on, I'll take you back!"

The Little Girl Yan Yan nodded immediately.

The two of them, one big and one small, walked back in the direction they had just come from.

After a few minutes, they saw a graceful woman running over in a hurry.

"Yan Yan! Where did you run off to? You gave me such a hard time searching for you! Are you okay?"

Yan Yan let go of Jiang Fan's hand and threw herself onto the woman's legs.

"Mom! I was waiting for you outside just now, and when I saw Big Brother drop his stuff, I went to return it to him..."

Jiang Fan took over the conversation.

"That's right! Yan Yan picked up my things, and after she caught up to give them to me, I saw that she was alone. After asking her, I realized she had wandered off by herself, so I brought her back!"

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly expressed her thanks.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Fan waved his hand.

"You are too kind; I should be the one thanking Yan Yan!"

The two of them immediately shared a knowing smile.

"Mr. Jiang, you are still a student?"

After Jiang Fan and the woman introduced themselves, the woman was immediately surprised to hear that what Jiang Fan had lost was a points card.

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

"Yes, Sister Wen, I am currently a freshman at the Ninth Martial Arts University!"

The woman's name was Wen Yu, and the Little Girl was named Ye Xinyan.

Upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, Wen Yu's eyes sparkled, and she praised him, "One of the Nine Top Martial Arts Universities—so Mr. Jiang is actually a Prodigy of our Huaxia!"

Although Wen Yu said this, it was evident that she was not surprised by his status at the so-called top Martial Arts University.

It was merely out of politeness and courtesy toward Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan shook his head slightly.

"You flatter me! I am just an ordinary student!"

In fact, from the very first moment he saw Wen Yu, he could tell that this woman was extraordinary.

Not just her, but also Yan Yan; both of them possessed an exceptional aura and did not look like they came from an ordinary family.

Moreover, someone who could travel between the two major cities of Kyoto and Luo City would not be a simple person.

Therefore, Jiang Fan could fully grasp how much of Wen Yu's words were just politeness.

"A top Martial Arts University is definitely not for ordinary students!"

"After graduation, you will be serving the country and will become the pillars of our Huaxia!"

Wen Yu said with a smile.

"By the way, do you have any business in Luo City this time? It shouldn't be the holidays yet, right?"

Through their conversation, they had learned that they were taking the same flight, and Wen Yu was returning from visiting relatives in Kyoto.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"It's not the holidays yet! I have some business to attend to in Luo City! I have to come back after I finish it!"

This time, the look in Wen Yu's eyes when she looked at Jiang Fan changed.

A student from the Nine Top Martial Arts Universities was indeed not worth being surprised about, but being able to travel between two cities to 'attend to business' while still in university showed that Jiang Fan was indeed somewhat extraordinary.

However, Wen Yu was very well-bred and did not continue to ask further; instead, she started chatting with Jiang Fan about other topics.

Meanwhile, Yan Yan was on the side, occasionally playing around with Jiang Fan, appearing extremely close to him.

About half an hour later, the broadcast voice came from the boarding gate.

"Respected passengers of Flight C919, we are now beginning..."

Jiang Fan stood up and rubbed Yan Yan's head.

"Sister Wen, it's time for us to board!"
